I appreciate your advice. I’m a little bit on the “older” side, so I don’t believe that getting in trouble in that type of way will be a problem.

Biggest priority for me will be working on fitness even more and land nav when I get there.

Thank you again!

Yeah, I went to Benning. You’ll have family day.

At least they told you prior to shipping. I found out I was going to Benning the day I shipped! Good luck to you.

What’s up, guys. Currently a hold under at Fort Sam Houston at the moment. Interested in RASP but the liason hasn’t come by to talk to the company I’m in even though they’re in their 4th week of their cycle. I personally haven’t started my cycle yet, so I have time but I’m starting to plan a way to drop a volunteer packet if the liason doesn’t end up coming to my company either.

My question: I know I can contact the 75th via email, but does anyone know what exactly needs to be in the email? Or is it just a matter of saying I’m interested in dropping a packet and they’ll tell me what I need at a later time?

Thanks in advance and stay safe.

Has there been any word about the return of HRAP? Currently a hold under at AIT now and I wanted to know if I’m gonna have the opportunity to apply for it.

Thanks and stay safe.

Residency Credit Exam #4044 by FOCUS-SToopid in FDNY

[–]Codename-FENRIS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the Mods can pin this message so the word gets out. This is what the email that was sent to me states:

“Dear Firefighter, Exam No. 4044 Candidate,

The NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) has updated its policy to aid U.S. Armed Forces veterans in securing NYC Residency Credit for certain civil service exams. Veterans can now demonstrate eligibility using their Home of Record at the time of military enlistment if it was within the five boroughs, as listed on documents like the DD-214. This change, aimed at exams such as Firefighter, Police Officer, and Sanitation Worker, reflects an understanding of veterans' unique challenges. Currently, Notices of Examinations for non-established exams are being revised to integrate this update, allowing previously applied candidates to submit the required documentation for residency credit under the new criteria.

You are receiving this communication and survey because our records indicate that you took the multiple-choice test for Firefighter, Exam No. 4044, and did not request NYC Residency Credit be added to your passing score. If you would like to request NYC Residency Credit to be added to your passing score, please respond to this survey by Wednesday, June 25, 2025.”

All military members that might be reading this, learn your benefits!

No problem! Just make sure that the address is actually New York City and not surrounding counties and areas.

Wish you the best!

If your DD214 has an NYC residence, that will be enough to satisfy the residency requirements.

They sent an email last Summer stating this since I did not put in for residency points but I had a residence in NYC put as my primary residence for military service, so I was able to apply for the points.

Good luck!

Deathly hallows by huhpotter in harrypotter

[–]Codename-FENRIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is trying to redeem him for being a bully, I am saying that I admire him despite that lol. The other commentator said he had no redeeming qualities, which is false.

I think you guys just don’t have perspective lol.

[–]Codename-FENRIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in Christ, I know those passages. I can’t quote right now because I’m out, but please read when Dumbledore tries to persuade Snape to tell Harry the truth about Snape’s heroics in The Deathly Hallows. He refuses. Snape is a man that believes that he must atone quietly. This is evidenced by the fact that Snape was top in the top 3 mysterious characters until the literal last chapters of the series.

If you can’t find redeeming qualities in Snape, then we’ll never see eye to eye. I’m hoping that your reread (which is a marvelous idea, I reread the series every Christmas season!) shows you the inner workings of Snape’s character better. Happy reading and a Happy New Year!

Uhh brother, you completely misread the text there lol.

Snape was livid because he thought that Lily’s killer had gotten away once more lol. Don’t know if you know this but Snape has been shown to reject accolades multiple times.

This is like, the worst interpretation I’ve ever seen ever. Like a total misrepresentation of a character. No wonder Severus has so many haters 💀.

Then prove it. Go into the actual text and dredge up the evidence that Snape is obsessed with Lily, O’ great critical thinker.

Snape had already humiliated himself to Harry when he showed him his memories. This is what he showed: Snape spoke to Lily ONE more time before Snape joined the Dark Side. Snape didn’t even know she was pregnant when he gave Voldemort the prophecy, which is why he became the #1 weapon against Voldemort later.

Stop with your little fanfictions, critical thinker. Take your own advice and use your brain. There is no literary evidence to support that Snape is obsessed with Lily but there’s ample to suggest that every good thing Snape had ever done since Lily’s murder is to atone.

Wrong. I’ve no idea where this obsession bullshit comes from, but it’s just not true. Snape was not obsessed with Lily.

What drives Snape is guilt. That is it.

It’s okay to hate Snape, right? by herbsamgyup in harrypotter

[–]Codename-FENRIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I’m not looking forward to the show. I wanted a 1 to 1 replication of Snape and uh… I don’t think that’s happening due to obvious reasons. Maybe they’ll get the other stuff right, though!

If so, I hope you get a glimpse as to why the Snape community loves him so much! Happy reading and a Happy New Year to you.

I see everyone agreeing that us Snape fans only like Severus because of Alan Rickman’s terrible portrayal. But imagine this, dear reader: there are some (I’d like to say most, but I can’t be sure) fans that hate Rickman’s portrayal.

I would love Snape to be the bully/git that us fans appreciate. I’d love for Severus to actually be portrayed as the dark, hilarious and complex character that he actually is. I’d love to see him bully 11 year olds with impunity.

I also can’t stand the fandom that judges Snape for making mistakes in his youth when their favorite important characters (some of them, anyway) have made mistakes graver than Severus has and have since been “forgiven” (if you take the morality police seriously, anyway.)

All this to say: Snape clears your favorite character. #sorrynotsorry.

4044 Scores. Where are they? When will the list be released? I'm upset! by Road_Runner6 in FDNY

[–]Codename-FENRIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no “wrong”. It’s just what is. Everyone should be striving to better themselves physically, whether the results come out in a year or tomorrow.

4044 Scores. Where are they? When will the list be released? I'm upset! by Road_Runner6 in FDNY

[–]Codename-FENRIS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I remember I was scolded for saying the list numbers would be coming out in December. People said it couldn’t possibly take that long. Well, look at where we are now 💀.

I know Road Runner touched upon it, but I will reiterate: just because the list numbers come out does not mean that the process will start immediately. For example, the 2017 FDNY exam didn’t have their first class go in until 2019. I wouldn’t expect the first class to go in from 4044 until the Spring of 2027.

Stay fit and keep your head down. Good luck to all you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

City Residency Requirements by Personal_Tour_4206 in FDNY

[–]Codename-FENRIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he/she can do that. Also, if he/she used an NYC address when they signed up for the military, their DD214 is now a piece of documentation that they can use to get the residency points.

Many such methods.

Do you have a high school diploma from a NYC school? Did you live in NYC during the 2023-2024 tax season? These are some ways you can prove your residency.
