I have a few partners that just got called for fdny ems, they told me on the second day of the academy they had to do 100 push ups and i herd from other people you have to run for 2 miles. Honestly 100 push ups and runing 2 miles is not easy does any1 that went to the academy able to tell me if this is true and if so will you get kicked out if u cant do the 100 push ups or 2 miles thank you!

Yes, its true. The PT hasnt even started yet, the push ups were just punishments. It will be intense. However if you train and give it youre all youll get through it. You will notnget kicked out immediatley. The whole point of the program is to get you INTO shape. However if throughouht the academy you fail to meet their standards you may be quicked out, but that shouldnt happen if you give all your effort, yoy will improve as time goes on.

You guys on list 6003 are moving so fast. I filed online in September 2014. I'm 95x on 5003 and it took me 17 months to get done with my process and you guys will have it done in less than 6 months. Crazy how fast you guys are going lol

Our first day at ft totten, we had to do 100 push ups. But that's because people don't listen or follow very simple instructions. We haven't ran yet. We just run when we are outside from building to building or car to field etc.

Jesus. That's crazy.

I don't understand how ppl mess up uniform or forget things it's so easy to follow simple instructions and for them we all pay. So ppl going to the future academies don't be that guy/girl that rolls up a minute before roll call looking deshelved realizing u forgot your cover or something important

It's all about following simple instructions from day one when you show up for your PAT, they are watching you!

Basically do your best. You run/jog at your own pace. As long as you try it's cool but if you stop or walk it will not go well for you. Your not gonna be kicked out as long as you try and don't give up don't worry about how good others do but so your best

I say the best idea if it's allowed is to motivate each other to keep pushing. Some of us may be training, others not so much. In the end we all have that common goal that we want to reach

No matter what you do you guys are probably going to be punished. It sounds like they're trying to run it like boot camp-lite. So expect a certain amount of shenanigans even if you do everything right...but like melissa said, definitely be on top of your game because if you all really do **** up, I'm sure they have games.
