You leave it blank.. Good Luck ! STUDY & embrace the suck!!, cu it will!! Outdoor PT gear 5 minutes MOVE!

[reils49]

Congratulations you’ve been transferred. Room change. Move!

[Charger16]

I heard there’s another processing weekend coming up. Stay tuned! Good luck to all the newbies next weekend. It’s gonna be a long 28 weeks. In the beginning you’re going to want to quit, question if this is what you really want, challenge your mind and body to it’s full potential in which you thought you never had. You’re going to have to dig deep and remember why you started this adventure to begin with, and rise to the top. You’ll be thankful you did it, and when you walk across that stage it’s a unprofound feeling of accomplishment and pride to finally say “I’m a New York State Trooper”.

[Charger16]

Usually they are a month prior to the academy starting.

[ES_troop21]

Goodafternoon, if they were to have another processing weekend do you know roughly how many people they call. Maybe those that went through it already would know how many people they called and showed up.

[Charger16]

ES_troop21 only Albany knows that information. Legislature tells the State Police how many people they can hire depending on the budget. Once they give them a number, the State Police calculate how many people they’re going to process-I would assume based off statistics in the past. It is never the same exact number. Good luck to you. If you have anymore questions feel free to DM.

ES_troop21 I believe they call a few thousand to process. I was the first class to be process and in the invite they said they were looking to process 3,000 that weekend. I have no idea how many actually ended up showing up but I think they try to get as many candidates as possible without it being to hectic.

[Giantsfan101]

Good to know. So how many they decide to process is all up to them.

[ES_troop21]

Thanks for the information I really hope so I can’t wait for it all to start.

[cruz21105]

Has anyone been called from the Back fill list ??
Good luck 208th.

[BizzyWell]

I went to the family orientation and our recruiter said they have already called people from the back fill

[cruz21105]

Thanks...looks like its going to be July for me. Good luck everyone that made the Jan. class

[Charger16]

If you are placed on the backfill list, you are still on standby up to 2 weeks after the academy starts. Many people quit the first couple of weeks, so it’s still possible to get into the upcoming class.

[cruz21105]

Charger16..
Thanks for the information...

[Ssbuffalo]

Congrats to those accepted. PM me if you have questions. I'll try to answer what I can without spoiling it.

[Octopuppy]

Hope everyone has been shining their shoes

[yoyo201818]

The first PT test at Academy, if you failed. are they going to send you home?

[Charger16]

No but they will make you wake up before everyone else in the morning and do remedial PT until you do pass the next one. Also they will let everyone know in front of the whole entire class how you came unprepared knowing you wanted this position.

[Endeavor22]

I had surgrey 4 weeks ago and just started back working out Monday. I will be one of them most likely......

[Octopuppy]

Endeavor, if you put your mind to it there is no reason you can't get yourself back to that minimum standard in the 5 days before we leave. Not sure what your injury was but if you were in decent shape before it will come back very quickly. Eat right and train your *** off and you'll save yourself in the end.

[Endeavor22]

Hey everyone, I'm on the backfill list and only got a sample packet. I see a lot of you talk about facial hair regulations and a black bag for items. This isn't in the sample letter I got. Just money order info and shoes, dress attire. Is this just known or am I missing information in the packet?

[Northjersey]

That’s just general info man, things your supposed to know such as shaving, military haircut and so on. I wasn’t on backfill and my package has the same info as you!

[cruz21105]

Thanks Northjersey

[Endeavor22]

Okay, thanks everyone. I was 23 on the list but I know they already called up to atleast 9th person. Getting closer.

[Hockeylax12]

Hey Endeavor22, what was your list number around? Just wondering how far off I was from getting into class / if I will get into the next one

[cruz21105]

When did you get the packet ??

[Northjersey]

I received my package when it was first sent out!

[Endeavor22]

Okay thanks Octopuppy, I have been training since and everyday. I had my appendix out. The rub and push ups are fine, just struggling with the sit ups in the time frame

[Giantsfan101]

Endeavor22 I would get prepared if i was you, no grantee but 14 on back fill is really likely in my opinion. Goodluck!

[Octopuppy]

From what I heard at orientation. We're likely to have at least 20 people drop first day.

[Giantsfan101]

should be a good time Octopuppy lol

[Endeavor22]

I'm doing my best. Got all the equipment and everything I need incase. Pushing myself to get back there physically.

[dutchessNY89]

Perfect. A snow storm for you guys possible on your first day lol. Evening briefing, counting off. Oh God I'm getting the chills all over again. It's not that bad just embrace the twenty eight weeks.

[Charger16]

Dutchess you were under the radar the entire time lolol

[dutchessNY89]

Haha you got that right. Maybe only one time that I can remember lol.

[yoyo201818]

If someone drop me off to the academy with California license plate, are they going to ok with it?

[CCCSD]

If someone drop me off to the academy with California license plate, are they going to ok with it?

No. It’s common knowledge that any CA car in NY is a drug car. They are going to swarm you with narc dogs.

[BizzyWell]

I’m curious for the guys who went through already, we’re there a lot of people who got sick? When I went through basic I got the flu and it was miserable

[NYCopper]

Recruit crud and the flu will routinely move through the barracks. Hopefully you will not be one of the lucky 5-15 that get flesh eating bacteria from the DT/PT mats

[dutchessNY89]

I had some mysterious illness for about two weeks. Probably the worst thing I have ever experienced. Hope you don't get sick up there. It went from strep, to an even stronger form of strep, back to strep. My weekends consisted of going to the doctor. It's a breeding ground up there.

[Squez818]

For those of us who did not receive anything after the 12/15 medical are we going to get any notification that we will be all clear for the next class or are we just going to be in a state of limbo until then? My rank was 259x I don’t know if that will help at all.

[cruz21105]

Anyone has any information in reference to this post ?!?!?!?!
