Can those called please give some info on the dates they gave you? Academy start date? When you report for uniforms etc.? Thank you

When I was called Saturday afternoon, I wasn't given a choice just told the hours are 7am-3pm(Tour 2) for the academy. Orientation in MetroTech October 15. First day at the academy in Fort Totten is October 16. I was given dates October 10, 11 and 12 for either uniform at Quartermaster or ID and paper work day at MetroTech.

hey guys, I found this forum and thought it'd be a good place to ask a question/advice. I was on exam number 7000 but never went to any of the appointments, I remember receiving a letter in the mail saying I was disqualified due to not going to the appointment, I remember emailing and mailing them a letter a while back to see if I could decline temporarily but never got a response. would it be crazy to call them somehow and see if I can be restored to the list? or since so much time has passed would they think that's crazy and just tell me to apply for the new test? thanks!

Hi I’m an aspiring ems member that would like to sign up for the next trainee exam. I just turned 20 and I was wondering when does your two year mark start in order to qualify for going through the fire promotional process. Does the first day of ems academy count as your first day on the job and you just add two years to that date? Or does your two years start the day you finish your probation?

me thinks your an aspiring firefighter who is looking to kill time on the ambulance and not take the open firefighter exam, instead of an aspiring ems member......

Yes I want to do my time in ems, but I am young and in no way ready or even have the desire to be a firefighter in the near future and would rather work in ambulance for a few years while I finish my education . All I did was ask some questions, I didn’t want to come off
as obnoxious, I apologize.

To anyone that has gone to quartermaster for their uniform. When everyone says you must run a little. Do they direct you to where you're running to? Am I allowed to run to my car to take a few of the items and run back inside and continue?

Thanks for clarifying that, I thought it was going from building to building to get stuff. Much appreciated.
