FDNY EMS Candidates

All the pants they gave you should be the same type. And there's about a 3 week delay before you get your first check. The city works a week behind.
 
Not even cargo pants right? Their navy? Can wear own navy EMT cargo pants?
 
Lol if you do that you'll get chewed out so fast in front of everyone! You can't wear anything that's not issued to you by them.

So what about direct deposit ? Is that handled during orientation ? And do we have to bring sweats still that was mentioned in the letter and a white shirt ? Even tho we were issued that ?
 
Ehh the sweats are for PT but we didn't wear those at all- we wore shorts& you're always supposed to wear a white t under your uniform shirt and black socks at all times. And you're not allowed to have direct deposit while in the academy you'll receive pay checks.

Don't worry about it too much.. You probably won't be wearing that attire until like a week after you've been in the academy and they'll let you know which one to wear.
 
Good luck to those starting. Still unsure why I got skipped over. A friend with a higher list number than mine is in today. Still haven't heard a word from my investigator who apparently was on vacation, but never got a return call from the other person I spoke to at CID who said they were gonna pull my folder and call me back to let me know what the deal was. Bummer.
 
I have my medical tomorrow. How is the process like? What should I be expecting? All I know is that it is a very long day. More information will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
damn $900 biweekly? I make $500/weekly at a private doing 50 hours/week. For FDNY is it what 40 hours a week? at least i wont have to work as much. Anyone know about how overtime works at FDNY?
 
I am on list 5003, just got my PAT appointment, its for 10/3. My list number was #97x.

Yeah, it comes across the CAD, it'll say OT at station XX, contact station Supervisor at xxxx to pick up.
At least that's the way it came across when I did my rotations on Lutheran's trucks. This was back in 08/13-01/14, don't know if it's changed.
 
gotta love LMCs new uniforms since they NYU now
 
Hey everyone, new to the forum but been following for a little while. I'm on the list for 5003 list #3XX
