As long as you get your NYC MAC you should have no trouble finding a position with one of the privates doing dreaded transports until you either get called for FDNY or can get into 911 through the privates.
It all depends on where you get stationed and what platoon you are put on. Some people have to report the next day and some get a day or 2 off. You will be instructed to call the Captain at the station to find out.
Don't forget the people who deferred get called first when a class is put together. If you think something happened just call your investigator. I was skipped and I called and it was just a mistake with paperwork on their end. It was fixed quickly and I was in the next academy
To everyone who was called and are coming a board congratulations. All the waiting was worth it. Just show up early, do what you are told and you are told to do it. If you can do that, you will do just fine. GOOD LUCK!
To everyone waiting to get the call do your self a favor and start going to the gym or at least start running now. PT is no joke if you aren't in the best of shape. Take it from me if you don't prepare for it, it's rough.
I'm still almost 2 hours from hone and then another hour 45 minutes from brooklyn in good conditions. I might just head to brooklyn as soon as I get home and take a nap in my car somewhere near hq
I am trying to get home to dutchess county from up past Albany and then down to Brooklyn. Longest drive of my life and the roads are worse than horribly disgusting lol. I hope all is going well with you so far lukgiel.
I just called to verify what was suppose to be sent. A hard copy of your offer letter will be mailed to you and with it will be the benefits paperwork that needs to be filled out and brought in with you.
