You get a wish list #1 being most requested station #2 second choice and so on, if anyone of those have a demand you'll go there if there's a high demand such as the bx desperately needing ppl you will get stationed even if it wasn't on your list or live no where near there
You get 6 choices. It goes by division. Fill out your divisions in the order you'd like but It doesn't matter. Majority of this class and April class even more so will be going to the Bronx. Good luck to you guys
Damn that's the reason I turned down NYPD dispatcher job offer bcuz it's in the BX.
You can google it
So I googled and it said there is 5 divisions in NYC but u said 6 choices so what would the the 6th spot be?
Oh gotcha didn't know you could request that
Yeah you'd be surprised some people actually want communications, especially if fire is your goal they actually recommend it, less wear and tear on the body and chances of getting into trouble while you wait.
so ur saying if ur plan is to be a ff the best thing to do is request for communications? so they give u a bunch of choices?
Yeah that's true but IF and when u get to a firehouse, that follows you. They'll know u sat behind a desk for 2-3 years and didn't do much. To each is own, do what u want. Go to the street and work. Or sit behind a desk and gain 30 lbs and not pass the medical for fire haha. Good luck and congrats to you guys and girls getting your calls. Any questions feel free to ask
They give you a "wish list" where you list the order division you would prefer but they can send you anywhere. It's up to you but if fire is your goal you may want to go to emd but stay in shape like fdhopefull33 said. Not saying you must go to emd if fire is your goal, you can go to streets but just try to take care of yourself. Congrats again Tia, I also chose am class so see you in a few weeks!
Congrats if u don't mind me asking how can you be turned down for corrections?
wow they got to the 700's quick only like 5 confirmed calls so far on here and no one higher than 400's besides you congrats
