Is this the same as cpat orientation or something totally different.

72X with an email. I have a very bad ss# so there only about 10 people behind me with score of 103. I am assuming with 78X you had a 102. It would seem they are calling in block scores to avoid upsetting the flow, and the real tie breaker of people with same score will only come when time to get into academy.

Yes i am at 102.

Gives me more time to get in top shape

Anyone have any insight or knowledge about fat burners, nervous about if I took one and the drug tests for the job.

Thanks man,

It has been almost ten years since I have started this journey as a senior in high school. Many a day sitting at the mail box waiting for info and many nights training for the day I would get a shot to join the ranks.

I can't wait for my shot ::fingers crossed::

Congrats to everyone above me on the list. Good luck

Drug Test won't be a problem for anything like this. Problem is that these things usually affect your BP and I do know they test for BP medications.

Also, they drug test @ the Medical, not the physical.

Does anyone know if drug tests done randomly through out the academy or only for the medical.

But how would something like a fat burner, which would I assume raises blood pressure if anything, cause detection of BP meds?

Also, are your sure they check for BP meds? I figure that you grant them access to your medical records to see anyway.

Lol ofcourse you would get a question like this from a "priority hire". You must be like 40 years old, how about you stop doing drugs period.?

No way man, don't worry about it. Once you pass that one urine test you'll never have to worry about getting tested again for the rest of your career. So blaze up!

What do you care? You don't do drugs do you?

[FDsouthbxNY]

Duplicate.....

No, I am drug free. i don't even drink. Just wondering. Sometimes I get into my thinking and start thinking crazy. This time, my thinking went off and I asked myself, since the academy is difficult does people do enhancement drugs just to get through it. LOL just in my own world. Damn Jukez, if you want to ask me out on a date just do!!

99% positive they test for BP medications. Guy OTJ a few yrs back warned me about it for my bakers dozen worth of medicals.

I wasn't meaning cause detection. I was just letting you know that it's def not smart to pop those fat burners if you have borderline high BP. Might end up having to take something to drop it and then you'll get flagged.

Sorry I go back and forth on this forum during work and really don't proofread my posts for clarity.

I guess thats for people hiding BP issues obviously. Thats pretty cool that they test for that. Just funny that they thought of it.

[HopefulFF]

performance enhancing drugs? We want to be FDNY, not 3B for the Yankees.

[BrooklynBorn]

Do they test for Deer antler spray? lol

[Dannypanigale]

I got it as well. I wonder how far down the list they are sending this email to, or if it is going to everyone on the OC?

Yes I would like to know as well ... I know it's wasn't sent to everyone because I didn't get anything but that's because I'm deep in the list lol "/
