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.

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 ?!?!?!?!

[hungryboxer]

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]
