Anyone from troop A recieve theirs yet?

[dutchessNY89]

Definitely make sure you bring a laptop for notes. Just kidding. Don't quit and congrats!

[NYCopper]

I preferred an iPad for notes. More mobile.

Can anyone recommended a pair of Oxford shoes for the academy?

[BizzyWell]

I’m curious about the shoes as well

[nykecho]

Nunn Bush Sherman Oxford’s ... comfortable, durable, non slip this comes in handy in a sweaty gym, and they take a good shine.

disregard...

[Giantsfan101]

[NYCopper]

Reread, Rephrase, and try again...

[Giantsfan101]

got it figured out.

[Northjersey]

Anyone still missing the package? I received the email but no package as of yet!!

[Bluelineinc]

I still havent recieved anything either.

[Northjersey]

Hopefully Monday bro!

[nykecho]

With the 208 being a winter academy, I hope you all have good snow shoveling technique and form.

Heard Bates are good as well, prob going to end up going with those

[jaguarshark]

I had a pair of these and they were fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cheaper than Bates, but Bates might be a hair easier to polish.

[Octopuppy]

Disregard...

[Jeff Snow]

I’m just loving the excitement from you guys. Congrats and enjoy it cause you won’t be feeling that for the next 7 months

[my93rx7tt]

That's for sure. I remember I was so fired up to start my 28 week residential academy. That quickly ended the first night when I was laying in the rack... Was even worse the first Sunday returning. Pretty much felt that way until the last few weeks there.

[Jeff Snow]

Haha I think that was the worst part, Sunday’s never got better....

[Giantsfan101]

Happy holidays 208! Remember to stay safe, see you all on the 13th!

[TripleH92]

Happy Holidays everyone! Let’s enjoy the time we have to spend together with family and loved ones while we can before the academy changes us for good! #208

[NYCopper]

This is a strangely insightful comment. It will change you forever. You are basically selling your soul to the devil...and/or Cuomo.

[Bluelineinc]

Finally recieved my packet today! Congrats 208!! Happy holidays!!

Anyone know when medical invites will be sent out for the current processing. Everything from the BI is due January 4th.

[Jtmazari]

There will be another processing before there is another medical. Within the first half of the year i’m pretty confident they will call the next 2K on the list to fill up for the 209 class.

[Octopuppy]

Saw a while back that we should have a wrist watch when we go in week one. Will this suffice? https://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-shock.../dp/B000GAYQKY

[TripleH92]

Stupid question but do we need to pack an iron to iron our dress shirts for the suit?

[Knowledge]

I didn’t see an iron on the packing list, so I would say no. Maybe someone else has a different opinion?

[NYCopper]

There are probably some irons left behind from previous classes. I would probably say forego the iron and starch in week one (that bag is gonna get heavy fast) and then bring that kind of stuff in subsequent weeks. Eventually you will want an iron and starch..it becomes more important once your issued your recruit uniform which takes weeks. You will be in your suit for several weeks and you will all have the general thrashed look (and smell) for a while.

[redzone]

Yes, that watch is fine.
