Also, I am about to turn 25 this month so if allowed i believe i will still be young enough to take one more test.

i also got dq'ed last week. I contacted my BI and he told me that most everyone who attempts to appeal are unsuccessful. I'm only 23 but during my background investigation I was told by my BI to put off any other job offers because he really thought I was going to get the job. My BI was as surprised as I was. He had no idea why I was denied and even went as far to tell me that my background was one of the best he has seen. I guess the only good thing is that I hear the test will be offered again in 2007, and the process the second time around is not as harsh.

Sorry about the disqualifications, at least you can both take the test again. Be sure to take the NY Civil Service test that is usually given every December too.

Someone on another forum got their medical invite today. The rest of us still waiting should get something soon.

To any of you guys who have received the DQ letters

Do any of you have tattoo's (neck, arm below the elbow....)? I ask because I have heard that a few have been disqual due to having visible tattoo's. The NYSP has adopted the policy below:

To qualify as a trooper with the New York State Police you:

Must comply with New York State Police policy which requires all members to present a neat and professional appearance at all times. Tattoos, brands, body piercings and other body art shall not be visible while a member is in uniform or other business attire. The uniform includes a short sleeve shirt open at the front of the neck. In addition to visibility, some tattoos or brands may have symbolic meanings that are inconsistent with the values of the New York State Police.


If this is the case then one has the option of removing their tats before any future processing.

Good luck guys. I remember how it felt, the anticipation.

While I no longer get queasy walking through the academy, I DO remember it as being - not so much hard - as a pain in the posterior. I couldn't wait to get out and start living again.

And then the next 20 years can fly right by. Believe me.

I bet recruits usually can't wait till fridays and dread heading back on sundays

Next stop medical!

I got my letter as well today. Now just to keep with the sit-ups and push-ups and see if I can lose a couple more lbs. Also I can't forget running and any other body weight exercise I can think of.

Congrats Ranter64.

I heard about some of the things they make you do if you mess up at all while you aren
