FDNY EMS Candidates

Man they are changing things up and getting stricter on this. I paid with a regualr money from the check cashing place.

Yeh doesn’t really make sense, I was in the last class and got mine from the bank. A money order is a money order

 

[AbbasM55]

I’m thinking worse case scenario, if they let us step out, there’s a post office in a 10 minute walking distance for us to get the money order at 271 Cadman Plaza E #1, Brooklyn, NY 11201 and the hours are from 7am to 8pm.

The offer letter states us postal or bank money order so I don't see why they wouldn't take a bank one.

They sent out a second letter that stated only usps money order.

I never got a second letter, did it have anything else important on it?

No. Just that we have to be there before 7:30am. With drivers license, offer letter, money order, black pen, EMT card.

Also, as @TheTechLife has said, a notebook and your black duffel bag. I look forward to meeting some people.

Hey guys, getting uniform together for tomorrow and realized they didn't give me a tie clip. Can I buy one at metro for tomorrow? Are they gonna give me **** for not having one?

Did you check in that little plastic bag for the tie clip?

I actually went the morning of. I was on the train down and realized I completely forgot the money order sitting on my desk. I got to the bank before 7 and was the first one in at 7. Took about 3 minutes and then I ran down to HQ. still wasn’t even close to the last one.

I have the 2 collar pins and the head cap pin but no tie clip

The tie clip doesn’t come in that little bag with collar/ hat pins, and you don’t bring your black bag to orientation at metrotech

I was told to bring the black duffle bag to orientation

 

[AbbasM55]

Yes, the paper they gave us for tomorrow’s preparation says to bring the black duffle.

 

[AronSham]

Told to bring the duffel as well. Besides the duffel, notebook, offer letter, EMT card/license, and the money order, anything else we need to bring?

 

[Cdawg06]

If that’s what the paper says then by all means follow the instructions provided

 

[Mikef19]

The postal order thing must be new, because my class had two different sets of paperwork that had different dollar amounts we were supposed to bring. They let us run down to the 7-11 on Flatbush to get it checked out.

To the dude with the tie clip issue, here’s lesson one about double and triple checking everything. They gave you a receipt at qm with all the stuff you’re supposed to have. They do not have that stuff at hq. hopefully someone can hook you up, or they’re gonna grill you tomorrow.

Good luck to all. I'll be in the next class. 64x
