Mine told me she knew nothing. And then called me 7 hours later that she was missing stuff.

Hey Matthew, wanted to run this by you, Someone had posted this a while ago with the things we can expect to receive at fitting,
So this is pretty much what we get ?
And a buddy of mine suggested shower slippers and basic toiletries to keep in your locker.
and he said buy extra tie clips and an extra tie to keep in the locker
Do you suggest anything else ?

What you get from fitting:

5 Dark blue button up shirts
6 black polos (1 you bring home for rotations)
2 light blue shirts ( short sleeved )
1 light blue shirt ( long sleeved )
5 black work pants
1 Pair of Duty boots
1 Class A Pants
1 Class A Jacket
1 Rain Coat
1 Work Sweatshirt (not sure if thats what its called [the one where you zip up from chest up])
1 BI Jacket
Duty Boots
Class A boots
Bunker Gear (pants & Jacket [both loaners])
Helmet
Work Gloves
Red Bag to put your bunker gear, helmet and work gloves in
Tie
Tie Clip
Cover (hat)
2 collar brass
1 cover shield
3 FDNY PT Shirts
2 FDNY PT Shorts
White gloves (part of class A)
2 Belts. Smooth one is to be worn as part of your uniform. The other one is your duty belt so you can put your buff **** on it and wear it over your uniform belt in the field.
Bullet resistant vest

Duffel bag is available for purchase, you are required to have a black duffel bag with nothing on it (no nike check, under armour logo, NOTHING). It costs about 35$ AT quartermasters to purchase if you want

I believe that is EVERYTHING i may be missing 1 or two items, but im not 100% sure.
Everything that is BOLDED, ITALICIZED, AND UNDERLINED are things that you leave with them at quartermaster so that they can put your names into it for the end of the academy. Everything else, you bring home.

For your locker, i suggest you bring extra change of clothes, just in case anything happens.

Leave your red bag in your locker with the bunker pants, bunker jacket, work gloves. ( PUT YOUR NAME ON EVERYTHING!)

If you need to shave a lot, then leave a set of razors and shaving cream in your locker. (i always did it before i got to work anyway, but you can look after your buddies in case they forget or they need to shave).

Leave deodorant in your locker ( dont smell like ****, people will hate you, lol.)
Make sure you bring your pt shirts and shorts home after pt days and wash them, PLEASE!

As for tie and tie clips: When we broke into "squads," Squad leader gathered money for extra ties and tie clips to keep in their locker for the squad. You may want to have the squad leader to buy a cover, because people WILL forget to wear it. There are 15 people in a squad and if everyone chipped in 3 or 4 $, then that'll be more than enough for extra stuff. I do not know how squad leaders are chosen, so dont even ask me that, haha.

If you can afford to leave your running shoes in your locker, do so. so that you wont forget.

My advice so that you dont forget anything at home when the academy starts, is to leave your stuff in your car. Put your tie and tie clip into your cover and leave it in your car.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CREDENTIALS WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES (DRIVERS LICENSE, DEPARTMENT ID, AND EMT CARD)

NO PHONES

Im pretty sure this is all for now. Any questions. leave them here.

Congrats to all who got in, and Good Luck!

Anytime. I'll answer whatever I can. I know how you guys feel and if someone told me the whole process and all, things would be a lot easier.
 
when is uniform fittings so I can go get my uniforms exchanged before everything is gone haha.
 
Finally got called , #104X, she's didnt give me an option for a class, she just told me to report to ft Totten on the 26th at 3:30 so I guess I have the pm class? Also I do paperwork on the 20th and uniforms on the 22. Do you guys think ill get my letter befor next Tuesday?
 
If you feel like your number got skipped, it didn't, it just depends on what senior investigator you have

Mel is the P.M class 3:30-11:30? Or is it 3:00-11:00? Cause all my life I was told 3-11 and when I got the call she told me 3:30 -11:30

Investigator told me 1530-2330 but to arrive earlier because they do check in by 1500.
