FDNY EMS Candidates

Hello


EMSSG

What was your list number please
 
So what was the guys number in the 300's???? Did the guys who were 260/270s get it ?? They didn't post. All classes still open? Starting to think positive
 
They called me on friday. I took the jan 26th because i needed the day class. I didn't originally want EMD but i want in now, plus its extra training i will be a certified dispatcher and an met, that pay off down the line, plus after 2 years you can choose where you ride. SO I'm looking at is as a positive. I just want to be in. My number was 215. Good luck to everybody thats in and to those still waiting.
 
I got a call today from my investigator to finish up my paperwork. I am in 270's. I unfortunately moved in the middle of this of course. So they wanted some things to prove the change of address.
 
Anyone else here, filling out the four forms that were send over the email from NYC?
 
Does anybody know what it's like being a EMD.... Is it like being a prisoner for 8 hours ? ....are they strict with things like they don't want you on your cell phone stuff like that.... And is there a graduation ceremony for EMD's ?

If it was that bad no one would do it willingly.
And of course you can't be on your phone while there being jobs pending on the board. You get a 30 min break every 90 mins. It's a cool gig

Oh ok cool I'm going in as a EMD and of course like mostly everyone else this was a complete suprise to me and wanted to be on the street, just hope its not too bad. EMD training is out of metro tech right ? I don't remember the guy on the phone saying. P.S I elected to take the January 26th class

For the Jan 26th, you only do EMD training, you don't get emt training, meaning you cannot pick up OT road tours. You do emd training, then you work as an emd for 1.5 years THEN you get EMT training. That's why I chose Jan 12, I do both EMT then emd training.

I was hoping to go into Fire I think it's 2 years on the job then your eligible to take the Promo test so maybe I'll just stick with EMD for two years depending on how I like it... But im sure you have to keep your EMT certification while being a EMD right ?
 
Yes, that's a requirement to be kept as an employe by fdny
 
Ill be in fort gotten on the 9th at 9am. And you get a new net card after completing the net academy. Its the whole class all over again.

Hey YFDEMT, have you received your paperwork/letter yet? I talked with Peggy Quinn yesterday and they said to expect it today, but was just curious if you have received it.

Hey lukigel,

When I spoke with Peggy Quinn,she indicated the Jan 26th class would go back and do EMT sometime during the the first 1 - 1.5 years. It wont come at the end of the time commitment to EMD, but somewhere in the middle.
 
I am in the 260's and still have not heard anything and now I see that johnny chimpo in the 270's was called. Every time i call, they tell me that they do not have the list yet.
 
Then shouldn't my investigator know about it? I get more answers from you guys then I do from them LOL
 
Got the call yesterday. I chose the Feb 9th class 3-11 tour. They also offered me the other 2 classes but I didn't ask what hours were still available. The investigator said they would be be in contact with me around the last week of JanuRy and if I did not hear from them be sure to call and follow up. List # 28x
