Just an FYI when you are almost done with the academy you can also purchase at Quartermaster a good leather ID Shield wallet it will last you a long time made of good leather, good investment. Once you receive your shields which is when you receive your stations.


Example Pic. But the one they sell is nicer and made especially for FDNY EMS shields

Somebody at HQ mentioned the $9.00 money order for the swear in has to be from the post office?

No any money order will do. I’m guessing they were just telling you that you can get it at a post office. I got mine at Chase w/o a fee since I have an account with them

So would a western union money order from 7/11 be no good?

Not that it has to be specifically a postal Money order

They told us specifically postal order or nothing

+1 on this

Someone in the class presented a money order from a bank he had in advance, the personnel had denied acceptance and stated that the bank will gladly refund your money without hassle.
