Day is base pay 16.31/hr Night is a LITTLE bit more due to night diff.... Not a noticeable dent in the paychecks.

You can wear things after graduating, but remember what I said... Someone sees you in that uniform, job shirt, jacket, etc.... There is no article 30 to cover your skin. That mainly applies to the privates

You should not wear anything issued to you outside of work unless you would like to be "expected to help" NYS DOH Article 30 does not apply to us because we work for a municipality... Don't risk jamming yourself up because your proud, because that pride can immediately get shut down when you...

Your uniform should consist of this: Class A Dress Cover (No Cap Device) Long Sleeve LIGHT BLUE Shirt (no collar brass) Plain WHITE T'Shirt The with The Clasp Work Duty Pants SMOOTH Belt Work Boots, Long black socks.

Never did them lol

Tech couldn't have emphasized it enough. To those going into the Academy, do just about everything your instructors or DIs tell you to do. Don't be THAT GUY who sleeps in class, slacks off, thinks that this is "********" that you need to retake a EMT Original Course (with the words refresher...

What are Sun Gods? Lol I only know pushups planks and inch worms

Parking isn't bad at all. Just get there early and you will find a spot easily. I always parked my car next to the tree near the parade field (where you will always be lining up) or at the quartermaster (which is a huge issue or your first few months so I do not advise doing it) If you park...

A little more than 1600 people

They'll plan that the first real day of the academy.

With legitimate reasoning you are allowed to miss up to four sessions (2 days). However it is not recommended at all..... If you can't make your shift, you let your squad leader know or one of the DIs and they will make the accomodations for you to show up earlier. It's the same in regards to...

He couldn't have worded that any better. If you're a morning person. Do the t2 class (AM). If you're a night owl like myself. Do the PM Class. Pros and Cons are about the same. Minus the PT. You do that first thing. Then class..... As a recovery, invest in some whey protein and a decent size...

Rumor has it that the next class starts Oct 31, but as he said. Were HOPEFULLY set to graduate on the 27th of this much. After you finish your refresher and get broken up into your squads. You'll get closer with your squad and the rest of the academy will fly right by.... If you're NOT a morning...

6 months minimum to get a list number from ANY civil service exam.... Regardless of where you are applying. Them depending on your list number is when you will get calls for things like your PAT/CPAT (if you have considered fire). Etc. Exam #5003 List #11XX Took Two years to get into the...

Picture this. Your ENTIRE "refresher" course is a full EMT course compressed into three weeks with a LOT of material thrown at you. As Techlife said. Study your *** off and you'll do great. Word of advice, take PM class. Instructor Troisi is a great instructor, 100% passing rate on the state for...

It's a sad truth

It is disappointing but what can you do about it? Even Bravo Company is super "cliquey." the instructors are amazing people and will work with you 100% of the time unless you're testing. They want you to succeed and graduate. If you get Instructor Troisi as your CIC, he trains you to be better...

Parking is a bit limited at the Academy, if you can get dropped off and picked up I recommend making the arrangments. It also depends on your list number on when you'll get your PAT call.

No they don't. I found out my employers got a questionaire about me when my manager didn't know what the hell to do with it so he asked me. If you read back in some of the comments with others questions and concerns they do EXTENSIVE background checks on you. I had to have my mom wrote a...

No problem. Just remember. Use the time you wait to train your cardio endurance and core endurance and you'll be fine. Oh and if you're obese, start dieting now before you get to your medical, one of my friends had to lose 40 lbs in a month, it's doable but the biggest pain in the ***
