Hey brother, I've been running every other day to prepare for this. Would you mind clarifying how often you run and is it alway 2 miles? I thought they time you on your 1.5 mile. Thanks my man. Best of luck to you.

Exactly, they START you at a mile and a half, and we run basically every day we do PT (everyday) and the reason I said two miles is so you have somewhat of a head start on everything. Dont just aim for that mile and a half, pass it.
Im in the same boat , it didn't say on my letter to come back to metrotech or anything so I'm assuming I'm good im just confused
Hey bro, I called up and they let me know im good to go but I'm assuming your fine or they would've called ya.

Take this to heart guys and gals,
PT is no joke so if your headed to the next class make sure you get in shape and get ready to handle yours. Your group will not let you falter, but get your butts ready. and study.
So if you feel like your headed in the October 31 class, start running and core train.
It'd be nice to have a clue if I'm headed into October class or not. They're so mysterious with everything.
All it said on my letter was that my personal doctor may decide if I need additional blood work given the results of the results. Idk if that means I'm good
what number did you call
Don't sweat too much with running. Focus on push-ups and planks. You do run everyday. But it's usully varying. Some days you'll be running the 2 miles. Some days 1. A lot of days you'll do pool hill. Which is running up and down a hill about 10 times and doing either, 10 push ups or 25 jumping Jack's every time you get to the top.
They're not gonna do a medical until you get closer to being hired, because if it goes more than a year after you take it, you have to do it again.

Prob next april 2017. they still have to finish off the last test then will prob reach up too 200's off ur test for January
Wow that seems quite conservative. They're at 1400/1650 right now no? (Obviously there are others with lower numbers who will become eligible / deferred as well). I hope you're not correct, but I suppose considering that you've already gone through this whole process that you'd know better than me.

Hi everyone !
Just want to give everyone waiting for the next class of Oct 31, 2016 on test 5003 {and 6003 if called}
a heads up and for your sake as your groups.
Listen and respect your instructors, remember they are teaching you how it is done in the FDNY,
not how you did it working in the privates or where ever you worked,
So respect and not being a smart *** is key...DON'T BE THAT GUY.
Also I know the academy can be a little stressed, but acting like High Schooler's and throwing water in the bathroom while there is an instructor in the stall and then everyone { all 89 probies punished because you couldn't even man up for your antics}...DON'T BE THAT GUY.
Being a part of your team is essential and in the end we are family in the FDNY.
you get quizzed every day so study, brush up on calisthenics, running etc.
if you go in with a failing attitude, then you will.
Clear mind and I want this attitude is key, good luck guys/gals
Oct 31 will be here before you know it.
