FDNY Exam 2000

I don't remember specifically, but low 90s.

With everything you seen and heard ... What list number you think they might reach up to ?

You've mistaken me for a psychic. I have an understanding of the process, and (generally speaking) an understanding of how the department and DCAS should operate, but your guess is as good as mine. I think the EMS class will give us an idea of what the ratio will be, however differences between the list will make it unreliable. Just sit tight, exercise, and do some sort of education/training in the meantime.

What's your #/score?

[eng1irons]

Not really.. My manager at the bank has a degree in criminal justice

I think that helps my argument and hurts yours. When your manager was getting his criminal justice degree, did he want to eventually work in a bank? Or did he want to do something in criminal justice and it didn't work out?

i know some one who is with in range (98) but claimed that he lived in the city but he is going to get bumped backed down to a 93 once they do 30 seconds of research

As per the NOE, these people will not be "bumped down" to a lower grade. They are going to be completely removed from the list:

"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."

So that guy with the 103 that lied about his residency isn't going down to 98 and getting a 2nd chance to get hired later in the life of the list. He's gone for good, at least according to the NOE.

Here's hoping all of our on the job forum members are doing okay after some long days working through the storm.

[BrooklynBorn]

Sweet. I was hoping to be able to do just that. Do you happen to know how we go about it?

I dont get it? why would you guy spend your GI bill on the academy, what are you guys talking about?

The GI Bill will pay you a living allowance. So it will be over an extra grand each month while in the academy.

[BrooklynBorn]

Oh IMO not worth it. You will be getting paid in the academy, I know its not much, but that GI bill can be used down the road for something more expensive.

I think it will vary from person to person. Everyone is different and has different goals and things they want to accomplish. I personally have no interest in earning anything higher than a Bachelor's degree. Luckily for me, the State of IL is paying for that right now and I don't have to use my GI Bill now.

[BrooklynBorn]

I thought you could pass it down to your kids?

[zachryw2001]

I thought you could pass it down to your kids?

You can and that was my goal but I don't meet any of the requirements for it unfortunately

You didn't quote the entire thing

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. Under no circumstances shall a Post Office (P.O. Box) address be accepted as proof of residency. 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.

There going to bump people down not throw them off but I'm my friends cases it won't make a difference My friend going from a 98 to a 93 is basically getting thrown off because there never gonna reach him

[BrooklynBorn]

I would guess that most of those people would pretend they lived in NYC but just dont have the proper documentation. So I doubt they will be throwing people off unless they see fake documents or something.

I don't know. The guy with a drivers license, W-2 and bank statements that all say some address in Nassau County but he clicked yes for the residency credit and hoped he would get away with it - to me that's an intentional misrepresentation and should be dealt with accordingly.

Perhaps they see an intentional misrepresentation as you have all the required documents because you use your aunt's address in NYC, but when the investigator goes to make a visit your aunt's neighbors all say they have never seen you there.

Who knows, I guess we will find out eventually!

your Gi bill will be dispersed through 3 years not just academy its extra money since u make nothing until top pay

Yea no one knows for sure I think a lot of people in range are going to lose points or get kicked off because its going to be a lot harder to prove this time around

Wish everyone the best of luck

What's up fellas, I've been lurking this thread since its inception and I must say I've gotten a lot of good information from it so I figured it's about time I contribute any info I can.

I actually went through my medical on 10/31 and I passed. Out of 11 guys (so few showed up bc of the hurricane) only 3 or 4 passed, and from what I've heard all the days that have followed have garnered a failure rate of more than %50. Hope you guys that are serious about this are doing what you can about your heart rate.

My investigator also has everything they need, so as far as I know I'm only waiting for my CPAT date.

[Brooklyn Medic]

How old are you now?
