From what we were told at Metrotech back on the 6th was that the job is no longer taking outside medics, and that all future medics will be from promoted from EMTs currently on the job if that makes sense.

Doubt that's true but if it were, it would seem from my guess that they are seeking to provide incentive for emts to stay in the department longer?

Heard the same thing yesterday from my friend (Already an FDNY EMT) who is now in the Medic program doing his rotations in Woodhull. No outside Medics, Metro wants to change it to EMTs waiting to get on the Medic program as I am one of them.

Why? What's the purpose of doing that?

Any update on exam 7000?
On my completed exams on OASYS, under "tentative score" i have an N/A.
Is this where your list number is supposed to appear?
I'm absolutely panicking that maybe DCAS never got my affirmation form.
Most years it only takes 6 months for people to get their numbers but its been almost 9 months so far whats going on?!

With EVERYTHING going on lately.... Its going to take a bit more time... We just lost one of our sisters two weeks ago yesterday... Have some patience everyone... If you stress out this much over a list number there is no telling how you're going to feel when it's time to start your process....

And on Dorkys note. Not one candidate has even made mention of the FDNY depts loss.
Remember you people going in. Once you join the dept, we are a team.

Guys it's cool..... When they get into the Academy they will learn of the members who made the ultimate sacrifice when they do Legacy of EMS/Fire... Only then will they truly understand how big of a deal it is when a member in the dept is lost in the line of duty
We appreciate in every sense the sacrifices all of you have done and do. Perhaps some of our constant inquiring about lists, academy etc is not in lack of respect but rather in a desire to be part of such a great family. No disrespect meant I'm sure from any of us.

Any one know if the medic physical and hiring process is the same as BLS?
The exact same.

I'm sorry, but that would be a ridiculous idea.
They might as well not hire people who already have EMT cards also and only train people with zero training for that exclusive and inimitable FDNY experience.

That's totally crazy to hire people with no emt card, you need to know the basic of what the state requires. They teach you more than your regular basic class does, more in depth.
