When completing the direct deposit form were we given our nys emplid # and dept code somewhere or is it suppose to be left blank for when we get up there?

[TripleH92]

I left that part blank for now as well as the work address? on the other sheet i was not sure what to put down in that box either .

[BizzyWell]

Do we need a void check for this?

[TripleH92]

on the direct deposit form I think it says to bring one and if you don’t you have to have the big sign off on something but I’m just gonna bring the void check

[TripleH92]

Question, I’m doing a trial run on my duffel bag. Is there hangers for our dress shirts in the closets and for our classroom uniform? Or should we bring them ?

[Ssbuffalo]

You will need hangers, and they all must match. Bring only what you need.

[TripleH92]

^ Good to know il pack a few thanks !

[BizzyWell]

Quick question, I have an iron and a small travel iron board would that be needed or do they provide them? I was planning on just leaving it in my car just in case

[jaguarshark]

I can't remember for the life of me anybody having an ironing board. BTW: getting stuff from your car is HIGHLY restricted. You'll literally get to even see your car maybe 2-3 times a week for a few minutes.

[dutchessNY89]

Check under the beds on 3rd floor b dorm. We found one left behind from a previous class lol.

[hungryboxer]

Quick question when filling out the money order regarding our meal cost. Are we using the same address as our pt gear?

[Octopuppy]

I asked this question a page or two back. Leave it blank.

[I wanna be a cop]

Asking for a friend...is the class still beginning this month or did it get pushed back?

[Octopuppy]

Starting on Sunday

[I wanna be a cop]

Octopuppy thanks for the info!!

[Abram0710]

Good luck to those reporting tomorrow. Was up there earlier today for military make up. Its cold... troopers look ready for a shark attack!

[TripleH92]

For those who have been through the academy, do we need to bring our original SS card and Birh certificate or will a copy be ok?

[BizzyWell]

I bringing originals and copies of everything

[NyNarc]

Well today’s the day. I look forward to meeting all of you. Drive safe guys.

[dutchessNY89]

Lol good luck all. Don't quit.

[leo1112]

You forgot to tell them to study! Lol

[wRyan]

Anyone on backfill hear anything?

[cruz21105]

Good information....I called my investigator and I was told that my process is good for a year. We should be good for July 2019. Good luck everyone

[SuperTrooperNY]

Looks like only 3 people have dropped the class so far. I guess it’s not as tough as some ppl make it out to be.

[leo1112]

You guys just started, it is tough as the weeks go by. Just remember never quit!

[Charger16]

We got a tough guy lolol

[jaguarshark]

If only 3 guys dropped the first week it's definitely not as tough as it used to be.

[emlaxstar9]

If only 3 guys dropped the first week it's definitely not as tough as it used to be.

I mean we are really short staffed i wouldn’t be surprised lol

[Ohkeo]

How Strict is the Tattoo Policy?
I have a Tattoo on my left arm that’s an inch or two above my elbow.. I’m sure it would be close.

it shows in my NYS CO Uniform slightly, but only when I’m sitting down

[Endeavor22]

Very. It will dq you about it. They just sent out examples of what would anel that was on there.

[jaguarshark]

They will make you put on a uniform short sleeve shirt and if it's visible you're gonna need it removed.

Got an email today saying processing will be in early March for potentially up to 6100. Anybody have any idea what that means for someone at 62xx? Will they go above 6100 or is the cap at 6100 firm? Thanks.

[ES_troop21]

I’m not sure one think I learned is that anything could happen they first processed around 2200 at first then called another processing up to 4100 for this first academy plus they have some people on backfill that will have a spot on this second academy so depending on how people do in this processing determine another processing. So I don’t want to say the odds are very likely or not likely because anything could happen.

[jaguarshark]

If things all go smoothly, it's one processing per Academy. If too many fail out, then they'll grab more, but it's not the ordinary course of things.

[bnooch18]

jaguarshark I'm just curious because they had to process 4100 through two separate processing weekends to get a class of 250. Just wondering the chances of them having to process another 4100 to get another class of 250.

[cruz21105]

I just received the same email.....BUT, I was already processed and on the back list. Do I have to go thru the process again for July class ??
