Well it is a quick process compared to PD and FIRE. Very quick. People want it to go quick so they'd be on for the promotional, but 6003 guys are out of luck. That's just how it goes

I'm in the 40's but I'm not even sure how many candidates are in a ptop class plus all the upgrades to medic. Much appreciated, thanks for your input sir.

Is there am/pm for ptop? Or strictly am?
I thought you had to have two years as an FDNY EMT to take the promo? Why would it matter if they just got sworn in right before the upcoming promo exam?

I think we're allowed to sign up for the promo but we still need to do the two years before being able to do the ptop

What promo are u referring to? Paramedic or to be a fireman? You need I believe 18 months on to take the paramedic test. To take the fireman test u need 1 day on, but you need to score well and still need to do a MINIMUM of 2 years

I'm on the same test and my number is 51X, still no medical or psych did my intake the May 6.
Thank you. I was asking about fire. But I didn't know that about the medic side, I thought it was only a year. I hope to fit in some time as a medic before going fire.

Yeah I got ya. Last class to be eligible for this promo coming up is August academy. But get on and 2020-2021 will be here before u know it. Best of luck man
Thats what im hearing. There are pros/cons to a big class. If you guys are takein the state on a Sunday, do you get paid OT? Cause you wil be there Mon-Friday plus sunday to take the test. Also how do rotations work? Do you do them on weekends since you have class Monday-Friday?
Hey everyone just wanted to post my story for anyone wondering about weight.
When you go to the medical you need to have your BMI at 29. Google BMI calculator to figure it out. When I went to the medical I was about 40 pounds over the BMI, terrible I know. They say come in in 30 days for a reweigh to get down to the goal weight. If you manage to drop most of the weight they may give you an extra week or so to drop the rest. If NOT, like me, you become disqualified and need to file for another reweigh. They claim they will contact you in 30-45 days with a letter to consider for requalification. Then you have 30 days to respond and then you can pick a reweigh date within 30 days. So in total about 90 days to get to the goal weight
In reality it took much longer than 30 days to get my letter. I was told in December I would get the letter. I got it the beginning of April. Also my number got passed by this last academy. Anyways I responded immediately with a letter back and within a few days I got a call asking when I want to come back for a reweigh. Went in and now I'm all squared away. Medically cleared.
Long story short not getting cleared with weight is a long process and I hope nobody else has to go through it. I'll be more than happy to answer anyone's questions regarding it.
Best of luck to everyone.

Question. I had to go see my doc after the medical to get some issues squared away. I sent all the results in and got a note that I'm good to go. I confirmed just now that they received everything and they said now the doctor has to review everything. Do you guys suggest I follow up on that ?

Just called dcas and they said I'm on an outstanding certificate would anyone know what that means?
Which Doctor? Your own doc or the one at metrotech?
Either way yes follow up. When you have an issue that gets cleared by your own doctor you have to go down to metro and get cleared by the doctor there.
They confused me because they said the doc at metro tech now has to review everything, so I'm guessing I don't have to go back down to metro tech as long as the doc reviews my paperwork.

My list # is 154* on exam # 5003. I spoke to my investigator the other day stating I might not get into July class because my number is too high that I probably wont make it. What are the chances that it's false. My paperwork has been done since the day of my medical 2 months ago
