For those who are waiting to get hired or going through the process, try to start running and staying in shape. You don't want to get caught out of shape at the last minute and now you're struggling in the academy. Just a little tip.

For those waiting to get hired. City council will be holding a hearing on may 3rd about the fire dept taking over all 27 transcare units permanently. If we do get the funding, expect larger classes in the future.

Also I am happy to hear the academy is becoming more strict. There was no team mentality when I was in the academy and it carried over to the streets afterward.

Meant to ask this the other day.... Tattoo policies for the academy, would someone be able to give me a brief run down of it?

I have a full length forearm tattoo of my son's name and I would hate myself if I had it removed through the whole laser process

Don't get anything removed bro, I have multiple tattoos, they don't care. Don't be pulling your sleeves up to show them off, you'll be fine. Haha

Thanks, and I wouldn't have my son's name removed ever... Given the circumstances on why I got it in the first place weren't all that great, it's the only tattoo I regret and am not ashamed to go into detail on why I got it

Oh aright cool, if they got to early 900s then you should be good, maybe get up to around to late 1200s, early 1300s

With the classes doubled again they probably will get as close to the end as possible. I haven't hidden any information at all. Actually called to make sure that some things were not an issue. Recent accident at work in which no property was damaged and I just had to file a report due to policy.

 

[silvercat354726]

Ok I need some input. I'm working on my "resume section" in the packet, but I have noticed I have any more info than space they provide you with. What do you all suggest? Like I have taken 20-25 training classes over the last five years, I do have the certificates of completion.
