Alexandria, VA 2012

Thanks Fireguy12345 - Yes, I haven't heard anything after that either.

Any idea of how many people still left in the process?

[Fireguy12345]

I think the rumor according to previous posts is that they interviewed 60 for 18-20 spots. I would guess it was around 30 or below for the Fire Chief interview. From what I could tell from people I talked to during my Poly, Psych etc it sounded like everyone was scheduled for all of that and the uniform fitting as well. I read in one of the previous posts there were some unexpected retirements. So maybe if we're lucky they'll take everyone the Chief interviewed.

Anyone had their physical / heard anything about when the final selections will be made?

[FFMAN2012]

I haven't. I hope we hear something soon. I'm driving myself crazy!

Do you know when your Physical is?

[FFMAN2012]

I haven't taken mine yet. You?

[Fireguy12345]

Not yet. Have you been scheduled for one yet?

[FFMAN2012]

No, I haven't. I did Psych, Chief Intv. and Uniform Fitting on the 8th of this month. Have you done those?

[Fireguy12345]

Yea I did those the same day I believe. Waiting on the hire call or physical call.

[FFMAN2012]

Let me know when you hear from them and I'll do the same

[FFMAN2012]

Anyone hear anything? We're getting close to the Sept. 17 start date they mentioned.

[Fireguy12345]

Nothing yet.

[FFMAN2012]

They pushed the date back again - Oct. First it was June, then Sept. now Oct. This process is starting to be a pain!

BJust curious if anyone who recently went through Alexandrians academy had any insight on what to expect in the academy. What was the best part in your opinion? What was the hardest part? And anything else you think is important.

Thanks!
