We can’t wear earrings for paperwork day either right

You need the documentation. Your valid emt card signed. 2 black pens. Drivers licenses. And the letter which they'll prob give to you tomorrow. Dress well for tomorrow as we had too. The room you report to is 3s-2 a half hour earlier then your appointment time. Best of luck
Also there is a parking garage right outside the foot of the manhattan bridge at the cross of tillary street which was affordable and had no prob with spots.

Thank you really appreciate the info, I was called today for academy, I never received any letter by mail or any emails regarding the heads up.. I was suppose to get an email with instructions & information after the phone call but never received it, which left me all confused.. thanks everyone for being so helpful

Hey I just received my phone call today for academy.. talk about short notice found out orientation is Monday the 16th, uniform fitting is Friday the 13th at fort totten... I was suppose to receive an email with the rest of the information but never did .. tomorrow I'm suppose to get my ID picture taken.. I'm guessing that's at head quarters at metro tech right? & orientation is at fort totten? Thanks in advance

You could email your investigator and they will send you a PDF of the paperwork.... they did it for me as I moved addresses, but was never updated in their system.

Nervous about the academy. Skimming through the old posts and got me all nervous.

Probably answered already, but didn't see anything a few pages back..... is there a required dress code for uniform fitting?

Comfortable clothes that you can take off easy. You will be trying on a lot of stuff. Also, I advice to wear sneakers. You will be running from one building to another picking up stuff. They expect you to double time until you graduate.

Can anyone describe the feeling you get when they call you for the academy? Which call was better? The academy or your first call for the CPAT/psychological

The call for the academy was better cause at that moment I knew I had passed all the hiring process and the relief knowing that I didn't get disqualified is priceless.

What's are the requirements for running, push up, and sit ups?
Like how many do you have to be able to do?

There is no requirement, as long as they see that you are trying and don't give up. Go on your own pace but don't give up. If you get tired from running just slow down and jog but don't stop. For push ups and sit ups, same thing, go on your own pace, pause for a bit if you have ti but continue. On the other hand, if you get punished, then you are required to do as many push-ups as they tell you too.

Anyone know how long today is going to be as well as uniform day Friday?

 

[Jesus935]

Tomorrow is ID & paperwork day for me. The pictures that are being taken for our IDs, would it be for the academy only or for even after graduating the academy?

Do you get the ID the same day?

 

[Patel92]

Do you get the ID the same day?

No.

I have posted about this in the past. Remember you are at METRO TECH where all the bosses are, you are still in the hiring process so look presentable and not like you are going to the beach. well groomed, neatly dressed for your ID photos.

Uniform day at Fort Totten wear sweats and sneakers THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT YOU so RUN, do not casually walk to all the places you have to be at picking up gear,

Totally normal to feel that way, but trust me when I say you will be fine. Best advice I can give is to listen carefully to anything they tell you and stay organized. Prep everything you need ahead of time and always be early. Your attitude goes a very long way. There is more than enough help for anyone that struggles a bit with academics, they will not let you down there.
Follow the rules and respect everyone, from your instructors, to your classmates to the people that clean the buildings. It will fly by and you'll have a ton of fun. Good luck and welcome to the family!

Hey guys.... was looking into buying a car for the academy. Does anyone know if most stations have parking available or is better to hold off on the car since I won't find parking?

I think it depends on where you reside.
