The join FDNY lady said there is no heigh weight requirment
Hey Join FDNY
One guy asked me an intriguing question that I have not found on my serches, maybe you can help. Is there any place on the interwebs where one might find the height/weight chart of the FDNY? I understand other Fire/Police Departments have strict rules on this, but is this the case for you?
Thanks as always!

Join FDNY Hi JD, We do not have strict requirements on this. Our only such requirement is to ensure that everyone who we hire is healthy enough to do the job.

Idk I tell you when I get there !!!!lol
Look into it more. If you think you're going to sustain traumatic injuries to the eye, get PRK. Otherwise, Lasik is completely fineQuote:

A buddy of mine from the Marines told me that when he went through the Rock in 2007 the city reimbursed him after the academy for the tolls on the Triborough. Is there truth to this? That could be a huge help with the finances.

Out of curiosity what happens if your late?Quote:

Also the reimbursement of the tolls will be sweet considering I think triboro charges both waysQuote:

There is a public lot outside the gate. That's where you'll park. DO NOT try to pull in the gate. It's a perfectly safe place to park. As for the toll, it's only one way. The city will reimburse you for the cost, just make sure you ask for a receipt and same them all. That does mean no ezpass kids!
To address the being late question...DON'T BE. Would you like to sit in a comfy chair on a platform in front of your 300 classmates while they stay in the "plank position" on asphalt for 10 minutes...? They'll thank you for making their elbows bleed....
The point is, nothing at The Rock works without the whole team. You need to be able to count on each other. Don't be late, don't forget to iron your uniform every night, don't forget to shave your face everyday or your head a couple times a week. You fail, everyone pays.
Lol yeah I saw all that BS on join FDNY Facebook too. Fellas lets be honest they may or may reach past 6000 people I myself would be affected by this BUT it's a sought after job that's very competitive now. It sux real bad for those of use that really really really want it. Hopefully the odds are in our favor but if not have a back up. Ps or you could send cakes an ice cream to the top scores lmfao. No but seriously head up be positive as much as possible while living in reality. Good luck all I only pray one dy we all will achieve success. GDP
I wonder what you think of #10000 and upQuote:
