After the Academy ends you will either be assigned to a station or EMD, and you get like a day or two off then you report to your station and start working. The PAT letter is the the letter telling you what day you go in for your physical ability test. And you make about 800 every two weeks...

YES bring the red bag everyday day to the academy, after the first day you probably just leave it in the car. but they might randomly ask you to go get it. and if you dont its a write up

You can take the promo for fire whenever the test comes out, as long as your on the job. Dosent matter if you've been on for a week or years. But you have to do two years of EMS before you can transfer over

As far as EMD goes I did hear they took about 30 people from this class that just graduated. I doubt All 30 wanted to go... But EMD is a cushy gig, alot of people do double double singles, and you get a 30 min break every hour and a half. Plus they have big tvs all around the place. And you get...

Biggest thing going in is just do what they tell you and keep your mouth shut for the first few weeks. If you do that you wont get in trouble. Be early every day. Study for the quiz's because you will have 1 a day for the first two weeks. Make sure you "make way" for any officer you see or...

They don't make you carpool to the academy. On the first day they asked if anyone takes public transportation, then whoever said they did they pretty much asked where you live then told you to find someone who lives near you to drive you. They don't make you though. As far as the stations go I...

As far as the whole outstanding and not outstanding thing goes, about a week before I got the call to start the academy my status changed from outstanding to not outstanding. So a little bit before the next class starts your status should change. It doesn't necessarily mean your going to get...

Become an emt for fdny for a year and they will pay you to go to fdny paramedic school for 9 months

Thats what i thought going into the acadamy about using ems to become a ff but everyone seems pretty relaxed about it, all the higher ups that talked about using ems to become a ff so far all said its a good idea and you ll make more money and its a way to move up in the fire department. That or...
