Got my email as well, the 23rd sounds good to me. Anybody know exactly what the PAT consists of? Or how similar it is to the CPAT?

[SeagraveBaby]

its all damn near the same.

I believe they said it isn't pass/fail with a time limit like the CPAT. They will just pick people with the fastest times.

I'm going on the 16th @ 8. I may just get timed that day also unless im too exhausted after practice. Has anyone ever been through the physical, tips? Good luck everyone

[lil_will]

when you got your email the attachment with the medical form had all the skill stations that had to be done. i didn't see anything about a time except a ladder climb which you have 1 min. to climb a 24 ft. ladder and back down.

[sarnecky10]

the way i read it u have 1 minute for the ladder climb, after that stations 2-7 are timed all in one, time starts on station 2 and ends when u complete 7

[WatchingNwaiting]

Sarnecky your right, you have a minute for the ladder and then your timed from the minute you touch the mannequin to start station 2 and then it ends with the completetion of station 7.

[lil_will]

[73Firefighter]

[dpg612]

I'm in NY but I'm going to be riding down in Prince George County that weekend so I may show up at Practice on the 16th.

[sarnecky10]

central jersey, north brunswick

[irish2522]

Sarnecky: Do you volunteer in North Brunswick?

[sarnecky10]

no, i had checked it out a few years back, but opted to join the military, so four years later, here i am trying to catch on somewhere..i just got out of the military earlier this year

[irish2522]

Okay, used to live down there off of 27, that's why I ask. Not going to the practice, just going to the test unless I get a class date before it from BCFD then everything else stops. After three years and probably close to 400 dollars in test fees it'll be nice not to have to worry about a score or list position.
