FDNY EMS Candidates

[Emt1981]

Assigned shirt:
Long sleeve light blue shirt, tie and tie clip. work belt (The woven one), work pants, work boots and cover.
(Not sure if you were given a BI jacket yet as it being colder weather, it should state you wear it, or what they said was admissible)
White T shirt ( NO Wife beater ) Black socks.
for you first day at Metro Tech you only take your black duffle bag notebook pen/pencil. lunch, water. and wat ever paper work you were asked to bring.

P.S. Orientation is a long and pretty boring day. STAY AWAKE or you will get written up.

Good luck buddy

Thank you so much for the info. You mentioned a cover. What is that?

Military Sun Gods = PAIN

• Arms straight out, parallel to the deck. (Standard arm position)
• Arms out in front of you parallel to the deck.

This was a doozy of a punishment

Never did them lol

Anyone else having a tough time shining the duty boots? I'm not even sure we need to shine them, but I figured I'd check with everyone on that.

 

[FDNYEMT]

Just a suggestion....

Leave your tie, tie clasp, credentials (emt card, state id, department id), and cover inside your car at the end of the day. so you won't forget

I stand corrected Smooth belt.
They did not have a smooth belt when I started and was permitted to wear my woven belt.
My apologies.

You are right I stand corrected DorkyEMT Quarter Master ran out of smooth belt and I wore my woven belt all during the academy til the dam near end when I got the smooth one lol

JUST AN FYI: IMPORTANT ONE AT THAT. RE; Social Media
I was just on instagram #FDNYEMS and giving everyone going in a HEADS UP.
watch what you post on social media, I already saw some people posting their $h!t on there.
YOU ARE INVITING trouble as you will learn. Do not post anything from the academy, while you are there.
in uniform unless special occasion. Just do yourself a favor and avoid posting anything regarding social media.
they will give you warnings so follow them regarding social media. totes understand you are excited, but refrain.
THEY ARE WATCHING !

I'd say just focus on doing all of your stuff correctly and take it day by day, but an educated guess is Feb 02.

 

[Doc Logical]

Are you in night class or morning class?

Morning class....from Parkchester, Bronx...to Fort Totten Queens. It's gonna be great.

Honestly, I want this so fu*king bad. I don't care. (in my head it'll be like going to school, except maybe more physical)

 

[Doc Logical]

Do yourselves a favor DON'T FORGET ANYTHING !!
Make sure you do a double check of yourselves before leaving your homes.
One guy got written up for dozing off on Orientation day.
and they are strict in uniform attire being on point.
Don't slack nor assume it is all good.
Trust me you will be kissing grass (Push Ups) and Sun gods are no fun either.

Plus, my class will be in the freezing cold so yaaaaa. Fu*k.

 

[Doc Logical]

Your hat probie =)

So that's the dress cover. The hat.
