Ca Most likely get away with 210lbs at your height, but if I were you I would just go down to 200. It will be easier on your knees too when u do pt. Not much advice can be given for academy, just stay fit and pass your tests.

They can call people the day before orientation, happened to me. Doubt they going to have a smaller class than the last, we just lost a about 300 to suppression.

I'm 5'10 and was about 210 at the time, didn't have any issues. I guess it depends on the doc.

You should be fine, really depends how much muscle you carry. The doctor will see you, obviously if you are 222 and mostly muscle the doctor not going to tell you to lose any weight. Vise versa

Don't worry about that, they do that during orientation.

You get a monthly schedule and the start time is the same everyday u work. If you work 8am-4pm and they mandate you 4pm-12am that's 16 hrs, but your next tour 8am-4pm have a 8 hr gap from 12am-8am. They cannot mandate you you are working a double though.

1. Tours are separated by morning, afternoon, or evening not set start time. For example tour 2 can start at 6 or 8am. Everything is determined by the needs of the department. 2. Dream sheet allows you to choose boroughs in order you would like, not stations and its not guaranteed. 3. Being...

Just call and reschedule its not a big deal. Even if your list number is going to get called for next class hypothetically, there is enough time for you to get everything done.

To add onto to this, a lot of FDNY EMTs want the upgrade, so getting the bodies is not a problem. Also they don't have to retrain in operations and evoc which takes up most of the academy. Also upgrades are locked in contractually.

I would definitely call back if you know that's metrotech's number. To the people worrying about the letter if you got called for the academy, don't. Just get the orientation date/time and bring all the documents you need. I got called 2 days before orientation and the letter came when I was...

Congrats to the people who got called/soon to be called. Please show up to orientation with the correct attire and get there early. Sounds crazy but some people showed up to my orientation in casual wear. People were late and they were written up, academy didn't start yet and they got write ups...

Not trying to doubt anyone here but I know someone 99x class 6003, finished pat/med/psych and was waiting for a long time and didn't make it to this past march class. Unless he was overlooked, skipping to 11xx seems unrealistic.

I can't really tell you how many hours you need to study because everybody is different. This is a refresher so people should already know the material or most of it. You will learn some news things though. Best advice is study as much as you need to know the material. We lost the most people to...

You never know if you are single digits. They can easily run through the rest of class 6003 depending on how many people defer, decline or fail the pat/med/psych. Not trying to get your hopes up but you have a decent chance before 2018. For my class I believe they sort through a couple hundred.

The next few fire class should be promotional if I'm not mistaken so a lot of people are leaving. They probably won't downsize anytime soon. These are just my speculations from what I heard so please do not quote me or get your hopes up.

Thanks @silvercat354726 for correcting that for me =) > Did you hear anything on how big the next class is ? I assume a decent sized one because there's a fire class this month.

I'm from the academy, class 6003 list number mid 700. They called me really late for this class, 2 days before orientation.
