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.
You will be fitted for a
Bullet resistant vest ( this you get at the end of the academy
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 I am not 100% sure.
Everything that is BOLD, 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 ( don't smell like $h)t, 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 don't 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 don't 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 Above all RESPECT YOUR INSTRUCTORS & fellow probies
I'm pretty sure this is all for now. Any questions. leave them here.
Congrats to all who got in, and Good Luck!
