Dang. That's great news.
Good to hear. Sounds like this is the class then seeing as how these rumours have come from so many sources now.
Go to any police precinct they do it for free for you
Uniforms are all given to you when you go to the quartermaster. Pretty much everything except socks and underwear. You must have black socks and white t shirts. Stock up on those. Supplies, the basics for school. Notebooks, pens, pencils. Lock for your locker.

Ok awesome. Thanks for the response bro. I appreciate it
I wouldn't look into it too much. Lot's of rumors out there. Plenty of people on this forum who are currently in the class not reporting anything different than the past classes. Just get on, hit the books, do the P/T and you'll be fine. I am most certainly looking forward to starting on Monday/Tuesday. What felt like forever waiting, is now quickly here. Very exciting stuff.
That news article is over a year old, and has to do with the suppression academy. That's a entirely different beast, and argument for that matter.

The p/t is definitely more intense, this class is the first class with D.I supposedly, strictly just there to keep you in line. PT is awesome though, nothing better than getting paid to workout and to be pushed to do your best. They are really molding it after the fire academy, obviously not as rigorous but they are trying to boost morale and make ems a little more respectable so firefighters don't look down on ems as much. Final on Monday, nobody in the academy is worried about PT at all. Only worried about getting out and passing the exams. Best of luck to the guys starting up soon
I'm gonna guess it all stems from the last promotional when a lot of transfers were extremely out of shape and couldn't make it through. And not even to a point of physical exhaustion, lots of injuries also.
Hey! I hate to be that guy posting about 6003 but has anyone heard anything lol I called up DCAS to make sure everything was squared away and it just said that i completed all or part of the exam. I didn't receive a receipt in my email or the acknowledgment letter in the mail. Am I screwed? lol

You should be getting something in the mail in a couple of weeks say mid march early April. Once you get you list number. depending how high your list number is it's all about the waiting game, welcome to the club we have all been there. Keep busy and out of trouble.
What's up guys? I've tried to read as much of the thread I could, but I have a couple questions just to kind of solidify my thoughts of what I've read and I was told.
-How long does it generally take to get into the FDNY as an EMT (from beginning exams to being hired)? I work for the city now, but the sooner I'd be able to become a EMT and then Paramedic the happier I would be.
-A few years back I had been arrested for a domestic violence charge. Long story short, I caught her cheating we exchanged some vulgar words and then her friend called the cops. To put things into perspective, cop arrested me because I had nowhere else to go (we lived together) and the girl I was with at the time then paid for my bail. This all happened down in Florida and it was dismissed. I pretty much moved back to New York immediately after. So I guess my question is, would that be a problem when trying to get in as an EMT? I've always loved helping people and don't want the chance to all go down the drain for an argument and a friend.
