I'm not sure you can defer at this point in the game, being you went through entire process and offered slot. I tried the same deal for aug 2014 academy and was not able to defer, it was either then, or would have to wait until next exam to retake and start entire process over again.

Hopefully it's changed so you have that option.

I wonder how many others will defer? Unfortunately I'm on the backfill list so this works in my favor.

I didn’t get the mail yet but I got an email from the recruiter inviting me to an orientation so I’m assuming good news. Unfortunately I will need to defer. Congrats to everyone who got their acceptance and good luck! Catch you on the flip side.

I know nothing about your situation, and it’s often said here, but as someone who deferred think seriously about why your deferring. A whole variety of things can happen between now and the next class, and you may not be afforded the opportunity again. If you are given another shot, you could be at a substantial disadvantage, monetarily and seniority wise. They could freeze hiring. The tier of retirement could change - and there is a tier 7 in the works which could result in no pension and a defined contribution plan for future retirees. I know someone who deferred and ended up in tier 6 retirement instead of a lower tier. He now pays 6% of his salary to retirement he wouldn’t have had to. That’s $6000+ a year, times 20+ years, plus compounding interest, and he will “make” a quarter of a million dollars less than his counterparts who chose not to defer. We all have our lives and individual circumstances - but think long and hard because you may never get the opportunity again.

Why do they keep making retirement worse?

[jaguarshark]

Uhhh the same reason anything changes... money.

[NYCopper]

Let’s say I retire with an expected pension of $75,000 at 43 years old. If I live 20 years NY will pay out 1.5 million dollars. Multiply that by 500+ retiring Troopers a year...the numbers are astronomical. I just tried to do the calculation on my phone calculator and it gave me an error. So like jaguar said...money.

[Giantsfan101]

Just got my packet! See you all there class 208!
