Lots of ridiculous calls in my short time as an EMT in NYC. My favorite was getting a call for a cardiac arrest, get there and someone meets us at the door, we ask where the PT is and he says he just ran down the street [emoji849]

They send everyone a copy of those parts of their medical

You guys lucked out, I took the actual psych test last year and it was 400+ questions

Just look back at when it started and 13 weeks later will be the approximate graduation date

First few weeks you won’t have time for much besides running to your car and back, after you break up into squads they’ll give you a little more time which is enough to drive to a nearby 7/11 and pizza place but be sure to stay in full uniform when you leave base.

No, I had about 8 or 9 previous jobs and it didn’t make a difference. Only thing that could affect it is how you were as an employee and if you were fired/ why you were fired, even then if you were honest with the investigator on why it should be fine.

No it shouldn’t as long as you leave your current job on good terms, and send an email to your investigator letting them know about your change in employment.

Yeh they ran on their own voluntarily around 5-6am ish then showered and went to roll call or extra help

They have to double time whenever on base regardless if their tour started or not, but I also had a couple of guys in my squad that would show up early a few days a week to run before class.

It’s all depending on the needs of the department, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years from applying until being sworn in.

If that’s what the paper says then by all means follow the instructions provided

The tie clip doesn’t come in that little bag with collar/ hat pins, and you don’t bring your black bag to orientation at metrotech

Yeh doesn’t really make sense, I was in the last class and got mine from the bank. A money order is a money order

I wish I knew about this, I may have to grab one next time I’m at fort totten.

No any money order will do. I’m guessing they were just telling you that you can get it at a post office. I got mine at Chase w/o a fee since I have an account with them
