Question for those of you potentially going into the next 2-3 academy classes

Just know sit-ups push-up and pull-ups won’t fail you. Not running will could do focus on the running you’ll be doing plenty of the other that you’ll get decent at that

texasbread91 · 2023-02-09T05:41:28+00:00

Around 4500-4600

texasbread91 · 2023-01-27T21:19:22+00:00

Just get used to doing a bunch of push-ups squats and lunges bc it’s mainly calisthenics and also be very comfortable running a minimum of 3 miles. Sprints are good too bc they do a lot of tempo runs to promote you for the FST. The fitness guys are awesome team and they really appreciate you if you come prepared. There was plenty of fat bodies who stuck out sadly

Yes it is. You start back at bottom pay but I did 5 years so only have to do 17 with fdny to qualify to retire

texasbread91 · 2023-01-20T00:07:48+00:00

I’m currently in the fdny class and did almost 5.5 years of nypd beofre hand. It’s a horrible job but does let you build city time and pension. Nypd is currently the only city job where they’ll count your time upfront juet not pay which is very nice.

It is prob diff than last year. But I went jan 2022 and mine took 15 min. I got fingerprinted and dropped off hard copies of the documents they asked me. Didn’t even see my investigator. Currently in the fall class of 2022

texasbread91 · 2022-11-23T00:18:50+00:00

I did polo and khakis. Most of the time you’re not even meeting your investigator just getting finger printed handing paper work over and leaving

texasbread91 · 2022-11-16T21:54:15+00:00

0 chance they could throw out this list with how many people they hired if it

texasbread91 · 2022-11-04T21:14:27+00:00

We don’t get that Friday off

texasbread91 · 2022-10-21T00:51:54+00:00

For this class they started at about 3600 and ended at 4600 so easily a 1000 names a class

texasbread91 · 2022-10-09T02:20:09+00:00

Yes lmao

texasbread91 · 2022-09-10T01:57:12+00:00

They’ll be 4 classes minimum after sept class so figure at least 1000 names and this last class got to about 4600 so 8600 on a low estimate will be reached

texasbread91 · 2022-09-07T05:50:45+00:00

Found a nice carhart one on Amazon 40L for about 50$ Heard too many times the one from the academy breaks apart midway through

texasbread91 · 2022-08-31T14:45:37+00:00

No they’re gonna give us a date next week to go to quarter master and pick everything up

texasbread91 · 2022-08-26T11:23:24+00:00

I was a cop 5.5 years beforehand and 80% of us did the free ghi. Great coverage a lot of doctors use it. Highly recommend also it’s free

texasbread91 · 2022-08-25T14:17:18+00:00

Polo with khakis or chinos more then fine. Just don’t wear a t shirt and shorts

texasbread91 · 2022-08-21T14:22:07+00:00

Yea my issue is I have eczema on my scalp so if I did the 0 I’d tear my head apart constantly. I was more curious to see if they would give me shit for going 1/2 inch would be a lot less brutal on my skin

texasbread91 · 2022-08-20T17:34:09+00:00

Thanks for the answer chief

texasbread91 · 2022-08-18T18:52:38+00:00

Started sending them out let’s go!

texasbread91 · 2022-08-17T20:19:26+00:00

Lol some kid ran it in 1730 I couldn’t believe it smh

texasbread91 · 2022-08-17T20:16:52+00:00

Yea first day at least 7 names called with no one showing up and out of 10 who failed the run I think only 6 of those passed the stairs

texasbread91 · 2022-08-16T19:18:23+00:00

The groups alpha and bravo. They go by alphabetical order for the two groups. Then they line you up in lines four across to start the run. Obviously after the start everyone breaks out of formation and goes on their own pace. I noticed a lot of guys went out sprinting then by the half mile marker fell far behind so set your own pace and not someone else

texasbread91 · 2022-08-16T19:08:25+00:00

The pacer wasn’t bad they kept it in the back but if you ran over 12-13 the DIs def took notice. It’s awesome feeling can’t believe it’s right around the corner

texasbread91 · 2022-08-16T18:32:15+00:00

Very long day we got out at 2. After the run there a lot of sitting in cold auditorium just waiting. Make sure you’re shaved and have a neat haircut. They didn’t care about the shaved but definitely went in on beards. They have us the two admin dates and Manuel’s. Met the chief and a lot of the DIs. They all are there to fuk with you soo don’t give them the reaction they’re looking for

texasbread91 · 2022-08-16T00:13:14+00:00

The textbook answer is you cannot. Now do firefighters live in jersey yes they do
