You'll learn quickly on this job, rumors fly like the wind blows. Don't believe anything until it's on department letterhead.

The one in now finishes tomorrow. Rumor is a medic basic class in December, and a new probie class early next year.

You should never ever be absent.

Does your receipt say you were given the BI jacket? It's a jacket you wear to class. Says Fdny on the back (you'll have an emt patch out on underneath that at the end of the academy). It has an inner lining you can remove and wear it during the spring. You're gonna need this as it gets colder...

Disclose everything. Can't stress that enough.

They're not gonna do a medical until you get closer to being hired, because if it goes more than a year after you take it, you have to do it again.

Yea, my buddy got the call. August 22nd is orientation.

They tell you to buy it on the day of intake. So definitely do it.

All depends on the size of the class.

Good luck to the new class starting tomorrow. Remember, be on time, be early for everything. Make sure your uniform is in check and you look good. Presentation, promptness and respect is the way to get through without any issues.

There was only one person in the last class who had to leave after not doing well in the pt, and that was because he had a medical issue with it. The three other people that left this last class were 2 for other jobs, and then the last person got into medical school. With pt, just work your ***...

Lying, trying to hide stupid stuff they've done in the past.

You're in the academy now, right? You get everything at the end. You'll drop off what you have to have patches put on (your BI jacket, long sleeve shirts, personal ppe gear) and pick up everything else (golf shirts). Also, yes. You can defer your appointment.

And the next medic class is August 22nd.

I would check into that. Current class is doing their rotations already and don't take their state for another week or so. They won't let you in a bus without a current card.

Through the rumor mill. August. Which means you're gonna have a lot of stuff thrown at you quickly. Once that PAT is done, you'll do intake, medical, psych rather quickly. Make sure you have all your stuff in order.

Well more than that. You're gonna do a timed run at the beginning which is a mile and a half. Only goes up from there. Some days it's just laps around the parade field, some days it's the run to nowhere, which is usually around 45 minutes around the base. Do lots of running to get ready.

Yea, we both went there. I wanted Queens, to avoid the toll, but had a feeling we'd both end up there after the transcare shutdown. It's been cool so far, good people at my station.

Go to the DMV website and get a printout of your drivers abstract. That will make things a lot easier when it comes to all of that. Also, hit the social security office to get your detailed earnings statement for as long as you have worked. I was older than most when I went through this, so I...

It's the same guys. 1 more day left!
