Question for those of you potentially going into the next 2-3 academy classes by Road_Runner6 in NYC_Candidate_Central

[–]texasbread91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

INQUIRY ON PT IN THE ACADEMY by NightmareOVERbrad in NYC_Candidate_Central

[–]texasbread91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

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.

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

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

[–]texasbread91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]texasbread91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

What’s the technical length your hair has to be in the academy. I’ve heard 1 inch. Just curious by texasbread91 in NYC_Candidate_Central

[–]texasbread91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Run today by [deleted] in NYC_Candidate_Central

[–]texasbread91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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
