I live in manhattan. Went to the SS office on 125th. It is huge. Only took me like 20 minutes. Make sure you bring a money order for it. They don't accept any other form of payment.

How much does the money order have to be? I think someone told me 25

I am 95% sure it was $25. Go online to the social security website and confirm yourself though. It has it on there, that is how I knew.

Don't call with an attitude, I am sure you are not the first one this has happened to.

haha of course not, i am at their mercy. I have heard of this happening too often, plus the letter had a post mark of 10/16 stamped on it.
 
As we all know FDNY has a EVOC course that you need to pass in order to pass their school.

What's a good way to practice? I thought about renting a cargo van and the small BOX van from UHAUL, and take it to an abandoned airfield and practice driving all day, is that a good idea?

No, you could but that would really be a waste of time and money. I would be more concerned about ur academics. Stay on top or ur skills etc. if you don't pass the academic portion that makes up the first 2-3 weeks of the academy you are out. No excuses accepted. They give you plenty if EVOC practice time during the academy and they offer you extra practice in ur own time. There also is remediation if you mess up the driving tests during the academy. With the academic part there is no remediation. If you don't pass the first time you are fired.

So apparently 160 letters went out that week for the PAT and a lot of them were never delivered or lost in the mail. When I called, I was informed to send an email to investigations and I would be rescheduled. I called again today and was told that I would not me penalized and will be scheduled for the PAT within the next COUPLE of months...to me that kind of sounds like I’m being penalized but I guess at least they are willing to reschedule me.

Yea you are being penalized due to the fact its pushing the rest of the steps back, ie: intake, medical, psych.

Since it was a mass case they should put on a physical for you guys asap.
