FDNY Exam 2000

[Manhattan Medic]

No need to laugh. That guy is asking a very important question. I want to add on to this as well. Guys OTJ do they also give new recruits socks that say FDNY on them? How about about underwears?

Everybody gets officially licensed FDNY thongs. They are a part of the uniform, so as such they are mandatory. They take a little getting used to so I suggest you all start wearing em now.

[Dannypanigale]

I have a few questions for people OTJ.
What brand of gear does the FDNY give recruits during the academy? (i.e. morning pride w/bailout system)
Are the boots rubber or leather?
What kind of helmet is issued? (1010/1044/Ben 1or2)
Are recruits allowed to add pieces to their gear during probation and/or allowed to change their boots or helmets during probation?
Is there a website the FDNY has which shows what gear is approved to wear by the dept. and what isn't?

Hahahahaha oh dear.

go to the fb page join fdny and ask them they would kindly answer you ;-)

I'll make this short and sweet. Wear what they give you... No more no less. It's morning pride but who cares. Get thru one step at a time... We just got our scores!!

Your name goes right at the top of the *** crack, and so everybody whale tales it and that's how you keep track of whos who.

I've said too much, really need to stop spoiling the surprises.

THis all reminds me of the movie Orange County when Jack Black says he stripped down to his undies so he can run out of the fire faster... Classic scene between him and Stiller lmao

i heard this is when and why people quit within the first two weeks

i had surgery back in 2005 due to Crohns disease. Havent had one symptom since then but on medication for life.

Wondering if I have something to worry about...

I have Crohns Disease as well. Just went through the Medical for FDNY EMS. You will just need a Letter from your Gastro doctor stating the following: 1. What medication you are currently on 2. That you are currently stable and in remission 3. And that your doctor feels you are fit for duty with the FDNY.

Until you are called, I would definitely keep up on any check-ups with your personal doctor.

I was diagnosed in 2001 and have not had a flare up since 2006. And I've never had surgery from Crohns. Dont know if that changes anything.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know the vision requirements? Like 20/40, 20/80, etc. because I wear glasses and wonder if i should be looking into lasik or not. Also a friend of mine went to college upstate at Siena, but he was at college off and on during 2010-2011, he applied for residency credit but how does residency credit work for people that went away to college during those years?

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENCY CREDIT: Points equivalent to five percent of the maximum possible final exam score will be added to the final exam score of those candidates who qualify for the New York City Residency Credit. To be eligible for the residency credit, a candidate must achieve a passing score on the examination, and must produce proof, as listed below, of the candidate’s continuous residency in New York City from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Candidates interested in seeking the residency credit must apply by following the instructions which will be provided on the date of the computer-based test. Merely supplying a New York City address on the application form for this examination does not serve as a request for the residency credit. Requests for residency credit must be received by DCAS before the eligible list is established.
Eligibilityfortheresidencycred itwillbeinvestigatedandverifie dbytheFireDepartmentofNewYork. Inability to produce the required verification of residency documents for the continuous period of residency will result in the forfeiture of the New York City Residency Credit and an adjustment in the final score.

As in the case of any intentional misrepresentation of a material fact on an employment application, candidates who claim New York City Residency Credit and who are determined to have intentionally misrepresented facts concerning New York City residency shall be terminated if they have already been appointed and/or disqualified and their names shall be removed from the eligible list, and they may be subject to criminal sanctions.

If you wear glasses/contacts, it's probably a good idea to go ahead and get LASIK or PRK. Why wait til they tell you to get it, try and be one step ahead of the game.

Ran sprints today just to see where I'm at. Did 20 minutes worth. 30 second full blast with a 45 second slow jog/walk break. GODDAMN did it kick my ***. I recommend some of you go out and try it. You'll be humbled. Don't let my name fool you. I just randomly picked it back during the old list...

[BrooklynBorn]

how do you time the run and then jog walk. are you looking at your watch?
