If your the first ones in line then you'll be out in about 3 or 4 hours .

Yeah. It's a rumor, but its been in the works where EMS wants to keep you on for upwards of 5 years because turnover is so fast.

Next academy class is scheduled to be in March not feb

Most likely you'll miss this upcoming class in March. You'll most likely be placed in July class.

Well the promo just passed, so it'll be quicker with open competitive. Next promo is prob 4 years from now and I heard you'll need 5 years vs 2 years now.

Anyone in the academy right now? If so, did you hear anything about getting new cargo pants

work there until you get called.

Anyone know the last number they called for the current class in the academy (or and estimate of where they stopped )

Just a suggestion.... Leave your tie, tie clasp, credentials (emt card, state id, department id), and cover inside your car at the end of the day. so you won't forget

To those who are graduating today, congrats. you've made it. can't wait to see you in the streets. To those going in. good luck. don't be an *******. just do the right thing. everything you do from here on out can go on your fdny record. lateness and uniform is a big deal, you can and will get...
