Good luck everyone! I honestly think they can get through about 400 numbers with this academy. They got through 375 for January and April is supposed to be bigger. If you get a call PLEASE post it on this blog with your List#

You'll be fine by the next promotion. It won't be a 5 year wait again. This was very unusual because of the hiring situation with Priority Hires. The promotional is supposed to be given every 2-4 years so bet on that fact that they'll be another one by the time your 26-28.

Anyway, you could obviously go to medic school or go Haz-Tac, you could promote to officer.

Ive never heard of 2-4 years ive only ever seen it given alongside the oc test. If people are saying january for the first class ill be 25 by the time im hired. How is officer pay? Is it equivalent to fire officer pay? Do rescue medics make more than regular medics? That seems like a cool gig

Last I heard 376, but the Academy calls should be going out this week for a huge class of 188 or so so that number should change drasticslly, they went from 8ish to 376 to fill a normal class

Dcas says they're up to 376. They only recently updated that number. Before that it was 87. Even though they say last updated was Sunday. Its weird

This informations is incorrect. They give the promotional alongside the open competitive. Where'd you get that info from.

Anyway JIMAZZ whats your list number
