Which I think would seem to lead to the fact that we all have a high percentage of making it. VERY few would wait for a POSSIBILITY of a shot at a job. Those who have waited I would argue, want it more than anything.

[leo1112]

Yup Exactly

[slapshot63]

Nothing in the mail today either. Wonder how they chose to send them. I'm in Troop E.

[Jeff Snow]

Maybe by rank?

[slapshot63]

Could be. I know the guys getting theirs did everything before I did.

[leo1112]

Got my invite , from nyc area

[dutchessNY89]

What time is everyone scheduled? I'm planning on getting there an hour before 730.

[leo1112]

8 am commuting by from nj so I’m leaving mad early hope to be there by 7

If I live in the five boroughs and decide to take this job what are the chances of me being assigned in NYC? Or will I be placed anywhere?

thanks in advance!

[jaguarshark]

In the last 2 classes, anybody who wanted NYC got it. Currently, any Trooper in the state that wanted NYC, is there now.

[leo1112]

I hear they can put u anywhere I think you have to stay there for 3 yrs then request transfer, they rarely put fresh meat in nyc

[jaguarshark]

Way off base. Don't put up information if you have no idea.

[leo1112]

This is incorrect. Troop NYC is almost exclusively fresh meat and old guys boosting retirement OT before they leave. Unfortunately fresh meat is going to NYC at an alarming pace - so youll never get to actually learn to be a Trooper. I think they sent 75+ from the last class (don’t quote me on the #) directly down there. As far as assignments - after your done with FTO you can immediately put in a memo to transfer. Transfer time really depends on where you wanna go. NYC you can go almost immediately, Buffalo I think the wait time is still 4+ years (and that is to go to the undesirable locations - talked to some A guys recently and the good stations have Jr guys with 15+ years on) - with everywhere else somewhere in between.

Hey NYCopper just curious but why do you say fresh meat in NYC never get to actually learn to be a Trooper? Also, I’m not sure if you’re OTJ but does getting a medical invitation almost solidify your attendance at the next academy? I know in other agencies, if you receive a medical invite you’re pretty much in. Idk but I’m still stressing

[leo1112]

I think it’s becuase nyc really doesn’t have a lot of open road like upstate does? , it’s more inner city ???

[jaguarshark]

58 or so from the 205th went to Troop NYC -- many involuntary. 32 from the 206th are going to NYC -- all voluntary. Troop A and Troop E was closed. So anybody from the Buffalo area weren't sent close to home at all.

If you receive a medical invite -- if nothing crazy happens you should be in line for the class. I know of and heard of guys that get DQ-ed after the medical, but that's the exception and not the norm.

Does this sound like good news for those looking to get into a spring academy? The numbers seem promising.

[Jeff Snow]

I have faith we will all get into this spring academy. We didn’t come this far just to come this far, LET’S GO!!!! #207

[dutchessNY89]

slapshot63 did you receive a medical invite?

[Jeff Snow]

Wow, they processed a lot more people than I thought

[slapshot63]

dutchessNY89 I'm on my way back from vacation right now so I'll find out tonight when I check my mail.

[slapshot63]

That's a negative, nothing at all yet.

[1trooper]

Is it April yet?? Haha

[dutchessNY89]

Let's just hope those 2017 exam scores get delayed a bit more lol

[leo1112]

Pretty sure they will be , no point in having people redo parts of process if they weren’t planning on using us #207

[Charger16]

Screw April..is it May? I’m ready to know if I’m packing my bags or not lol

[dutchessNY89]

Charger16 I'm with ya!

also I’m following this program for push ups & sit ups , I’m tweaking the run though..

[NYCopper]

You should be training to ensure you can easily meet the 70%+ on the Cooper test and 100 burpees straight at a time.

[dutchessNY89]

Thank you for the advice NYCopper!

[leo1112]

Burpees suck but they work
