Lol I would advise you to bro. But that's entirely up to you. Luckily I never picked up the habit. But I do have close friends who struggle with it and let me tell you kicking the habit has made them feel more alive than ever. Wish you all the best bro.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it bro, I agree, it's the worst habit anyone can have, I will be quitting soon :rolleyes:

What step are you up to or are you already working ?

Yeah that's how I found it, have it direct to the front gate and then go follow the directions to the building from the paper as if you were taking the train

So sad i have to shave now lol
 
Most GPS systems should take " Bldg. 325, Fort Totten, Bayside, NY 11359" if not you can always just put "fort totten" and it should come up. I used that in Hopstop cause I don't have a car and commuted from Brooklyn. It took me roughly 2 hours on a Sunday morning.

I only took the physical at this time, I'm scheduled for my intake at the end of the month. I'm off the 3024 exam but I currently work for the city and I'm happy where I am but I still want to be an EMT. Honestly I'm just unsure at this time. But I'm thinking about putting myself on hold. So I gta make a decision lol.

Good luck on the intake (:
Well, you have to look at it both ways, which job will give you satisfaction, where can you move up the ladder, which one has better benefits, pension and retirement age etc. Most importantly, which job do you see your self doing in 10, 15 or 25 years. Maybe being a rescue medic or a loutenant will bring you satisfaction, or what ever your doing now.;)

Bro having worked 60-70 hrs the past 3 months, I forgot sleep. Can you do it any day, it's more to see the road and get a feel for it.

Good luck though haha

Most definatly. I dont believe its required, then again it may be. I'm gonna wear one anyway to make a good impression, but thats not for a while right? gotta do PAT, then medical, then psych first right?

Its the physical, you get a packet during your physical that you fill out and bring in for the intake meeting, its after the physical, with our low numbers it'll be in a few weeks, then the psych, and last but not least the medical, if we're lucky we're in the September academy or sooner, depending on their need and when will they close/finish up with 3024
