I know we will be doing a lot of burpees in the academy. Are the burpees with or without the push-up? I have been practicing them with the push up but would like to know the correct way to do them in the academy.

[jaguarshark]

without pushup

[Rudy81]

I'm assuming there will be all sorts of combinations to the workouts throughout academy. I've seen several academy videos on recruits doing 10 pushups then running a certain distance I'm not sure of so I have just been running 50 yards and then 10 burpees immediately after the run 10 times in a row.

For those who have been through processing already, can you show up with facial hair for the PAT?

[far1993]

Yes that's not a problem for processing weekend

[Khan12]

Hey what’s up guys, do u guys think NYSP will eventually reach rank 15000 or no,

[jaguarshark]

I doubt it. Take the next exam.

[far1993]

You guys think they'll reach up to rank 5400 or more for the next class (210)

[Coderedpl]

12,### here's to hoping. Unfortunately will likely not be eligible to take it again. =[

Hey everyone. In regards to money orders for the items we need. Do they have to be money orders from the post office or will they accept the money-gram ones from Walmart?

[jaguarshark]

Any kind of money order is fine. USPS is probably the cheapest tho.

[Squez818]

In the orientation they stressed that it should be from USPS.

[Oneida44]

Thank you.. I can always make them payable to myself & I’ll just go tmrw to the post office if that’s the case.. now just to see if I should bring a 2nd suit haha

[Squez818]

The trooper that graduated from class 208 talked during the orientation and he said it’s not necessary. I’m just going to bring one and three shirts like it says.

[Rudy81]

Anyone know what address we put for the lunch money orders. Is it the same address they show for the pt gear ?

[Octopuppy]

No address on the meal money orders, only your address.

[Octopuppy]

Good luck to all of you going in tomorrow night. Enjoy the festivities...

[Nyspcan38xx]

Does anyone know what the first report time is? And is everyone reporting at the same time?

[Rosy91]

Not sure what the first report time is but deff know people have different times. Good luck!

[kms1991]

It’s at 4. I’m in the first group.

[Nyspcan38xx]

Thank you!

[Rosy91]

Anyone else on the backfill waiting to be called?

[Harleyriders]

Any luck? Did they reach your number for the backfill?

[Coderedpl]

Hoping they process at least one more time after this
Which I believe they should

[845Trooper]

I think they definitely will.

[Khan12]

Definitely 2 more processing’s the least, even then a third could be squeezed in just in time.

[will0w]

Anyone from the NYC area leaving to processing on Friday? Willing to hitch me a ride to Albany? I'm willing to pay...

[845Trooper]

I could see the next processing come around in February or March .

[Coderedpl]

Judging by the time frames in between the ones this year..I'm thinking anywhere between late January to March would be a good guess

[Upstate__518]

Probably, since next exam is Fall 2020. They will announce the exam date in March so they will most likely process at least one or two more classes.

[845Trooper]

How was the processing this past weekend ? A lot of people show up ?

[Coleguy7]

I went to process for a second time this weekend and I did not seem like that many people were there. There was a more mixed group but I was in the first batch after the last exam and my processing was packed! I'm not sure of the actual numbers but I was only there for the sunday portion and there were not alot
