They just mean that you'll be doing the process with several differently numbered candidates. It's typically in order by number but it depends on Wm how far along your investigator is and stuff like that.
 
Hey guys, first off congratz on everyone that got in the April academy, I'm psyched for you. I just have a question for everyone that had already been in the Academy. I asked my investigator about my issue and she said she will ask a supervisor for me. So I'm 1076 on 5003, and if they really got up to 930's for April, i should have July on lock. My card expires on September 30,2016. If we take the state about a month through the class I should be fine right? Or do i have to have my original cert throughout the WHOLE Academy? Is expired cards talked about at all on this Thread? Or does anyone have any friends that had their card expire close to the end of their Academy?

I meant grouped together. Sorry, had a family outing last night for my birthday and may have not slept all that much before replying
 
Here is some quick advice to all you new probies starting Monday. Don't be late. Buy extra collar pins and tie clips from quartermaster when you can, put them in your car or locker and keep them there. Also bring a couple extra white t-shirts, black socks, and an extra tie. Trust me, if you don't forget it, someone else will and you guys gotta look out for each other. I don't know how these new drill instructors are, I didn't have them when I was in the academy. If you guys have any questions I will try to answer them.

***edit:

STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA WHILE IN THE ACADEMY! This seems to jam up a lot of people on the job and in the academy. Don't let Facebook or any other social media site ruin your career.

No V-necks. I always wore high black socks so I didn't have to take off my boots to prove they were black. You will be inspected ever say for your tech card, drivers license, dept id, black pens, white tshirt, and black socks.

As for PT I wore ankle socks.
