FDNY EMS Candidates

[Silver67]

I am a EMS candidate from exam #7000, list number #10x. I finished my process and paperwork back in August and was preparing for October's academy. I didn't get in. I was skipped. I received a letter in the mail mid November saying "You were considered and not selected for appointment or promotion to three separate vacancies. Such ineligibility is only for the above-named agency (FDNY). Therefore, you can be recertified to that agency only upon that agency's request."
I've been calling my investigator and the FDNY main number and no one wants to tell me what this letter means. They keep telling me the only person who can tell me is Peggy. But she is never available any day of the week......can anybody tell me what this letter means?

Nope, I didn't deferred the academy. I never was called for one. I just want does my letter mean disqualified or not.

I got the same letter. It's their way of DQing you using the 1-in-3 rule. You really have no recourse but to apply and try again.
My DQ was background related.
I applied a year later and was hired for the first class off that list.

What's the 1 in 3 rule?

Who do we get called by when being asked for academy? Is it our investigator?

Any investigator will call you. My boy got called by my investigator when he got in.

Does anyone know around what the last list number that was called?

Do you know how many spots are left?

No I don’t but I don’t think there are many left because the academy starts on the 5th

That makes sense, they are probably not going to go too far into Exam#7031.

Yea I wouldn’t think so. At least those on 7031 know we will be in the fall class

Yes, and it gives us time to prepare for the PT.

What do you guys suggest to wear to get your uniforms, I heard mixed opinions.

Sweat pants and running sneakers. They're going to make us run building to building.

This. You’re also gonna be trying on a bunch of stuff. You’ll meet the drill instructors and they will tell you what to do. It’s pretty imperative you listen to everything they say, and step lively.

Question: if you get disqualified, how do you know or find out?

You are sent a letter telling you that U have been DQ'd.
