FDNY EMS Candidates

[silvercat354726]

Thanks for the update. Long story short they need to update somebody before their PAT letter comes in

I heard another candidate ask their investigator what his( list #420ish) chances were to be in July's academy and he to,d him it was likely but they were processing us best as they can. I than asked my investigator but she didn't answer me.

That won't happen. over 600 people left on #5003. They'll BARELY clear 5003 for july at best.

They will get as CLOSE as possible to clearing Exam 5003 with the July Academy. you're most likely looking at the academy after that.

Bootcamp style pt, lots of pushups, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, burpees, running, suicide runs up and down hills in all weather lol was not fun in the pouring rain with mud and leafs everywhere very slippery. and we do weight stuff with 20 pound weights and then lifts and carries

This is great news...glad to hear they're going to push us. Builds camaraderie and will make the EMS corps hitting the streets motivated, in shape, and more of a team mentality.

How much running? Like what would you say a good amount of running should you be able to do, to not have a very difficult time before starting? Like a mile?

Well more than that. You're gonna do a timed run at the beginning which is a mile and a half. Only goes up from there. Some days it's just laps around the parade field, some days it's the run to nowhere, which is usually around 45 minutes around the base. Do lots of running to get ready.

I dont know for sure how much running you do but maybe run 4-6 miles 2x a week without stopping. You would probably be in good shape for the academy compared to others. Thats not alot but its a good amount

Bro you should be fine, I'm 5'10" and I had to drop down to 201.6. If you want to play it safe just start exercising a bit more and choose healthier eating options. I only recommend the atkins diet to those who need to lose more than 20 lbs in a month, which was really difficult for me.

They usually don't push for a healthy weight. They let it slide with over weight depending on your case. If they ask you to lose the weight don't question it. Just make it happen.
