Hey guys how should I dress at the uniform fitting tomorrow? Also how long were you there? Shoykd I prepare for a long day?

Dress comfortable u will be running with all ur gear to diff buildings. And run trust me ppl will be watching where u can't see them and u will get punished your first day. Get use to running whenever you're at base you're "double timing" running everywhere while on the clock even on breaks

Roughly 4 hours, dress comfortably. They Will expect you to run or briskly walk (indoors ofcourse). Some of us showed up in shorts and a tshirt, others dressed to impress. Its more about you being comfortable than anything.

Ok I was planning on wearing shorts and a Tee due to all the running from spot to spot getting gear..

 

[TheMedicLife]

Can a person get skipped ? supposedly Someone with a LIST number higher than me got called ! Im nervous now ! Lol

It depends on who you investigator is and how they have their files in order. So if they had a problem with you I am pretty sure a letter would have went out. But when it comes to them No news is good news.
Hang in there, They have to get to you.

You don't have to be in PT gear for pt lol. Am class did over 100 pushups first day as punishment and we did 60 bcuz not that many ppl messed up, you'll be doing a lot of stuff in full uniform, pushups & mountain climbers mostly the actual PT doesn't start till 2nd week. Thank you it was a beautiful ceremony

which belt do we wear on Monday ? Also do we wear the collar brass or no? I've heard different answers

 

[emsc]

The smooth belt. And I'm not sure about the collar brass either. I think it was a no though.
Did anybody else not get the short sleeve shirts because they had to order your size?

No collar brass, smooth belt, boots, cover no insignia ( not the baseball cap)

 

[orj91]

true. I guess I'll just bring them in my pocket. They had my shirt size. I went a little bigger because I think they shrink. What did they tell you to wear?

 

[Ambulance402]

Hey april academy graduates I have a kina silly question for you. Do the random drug tests they give us also look for alcohol? My neighbor is a FF and he told me when he went through the EMS Academy in 2005 they were looking for drugs AND alcohol because back then alcoholism was such a problem. It was so bad in the late 90s people would show up to work drunk (FF and EMT's/Paramedics) that they didnt want people drinking on their days off in the academy. i only ask because I enjoy the history of the fdny, the war years and everything. Cool stuff
