Hey everyone! I have the medical exam tomorrow and I've read through the notice carefully. It doesn't mention that we have to be fasting. Can we eat before the appointment? Is there full blood work? I'm assuming it's only for immunizations and not sugar, salt, cholesterol etc.

I saw a couple people mention something about bullet proof vests on here. Does FDNY provide EMT's with vests?

Ok. There's a bill to raise the age so I didn't know if that would delay anything or not

I was interested in that as well. I haven't heard a peep. It was introduced over a month ago and nothing.

That's not gonna happen. Filing opens up August. It would have had to have been approved already.

Rumor has it that it was approved. But it's just a rumor and I don't know how true it is.

This will be part of my laundry list of questions for the QA after my medical today.

 

[Ryan815]

It may have been or in the process of being approved for the OC. I haven't heard anything.

Got my medical scheduled for August 12 @ 0645. How the heck does this keep happening? It seems like all my appointments are bright and über early. They say not to drive do to limited parking but if I take the train I most likely would get there about five minutes before hand.

Skip the train and ummmm....Uber.

So do you suggest a parking garage? If I don't take the train I have to be up and on the road by 0400. And yes Uber early, not even bright at that hour here in the mountains!

I drove everytime I went down to metrotech and always got parking in a garage. I usually used the garage on gold and tillary. I liked them the best

If you drive on, you're risking your car being towed if you don't park in a garage
