Woo! I'll see you guys in Albany!

good Luck.

I wonder how many people quit on the first day or will quit in the 1st week?

This thread will get very slow now that the academy started.

I know they are dong BI's now for the next class. So, maybe we'll probably get some fresh faces (er...screen names) here soon.

Any rumors about the next class size? The rumors for the current one were surprisingly accurate this time around

I see the 60 years of age retirement bill passed.

Don't say that... I am ready for a change in leadership in zone Oh well... I have always toyed with the idea of the Tway in Buffalo... it would be nice to be closer to Buffalo so I could join the WNY Mustang Club.

what does the bill mean??? does it still mean I can go in at 21 and retire by 42 and still recieve my pension or start at 21 retire at 42 and won't recieve my pension until I'm 60????

The stock market is going to have to start going up again for me to do that

Yup, lost $2,300+ this week alone

Yup, lost $2,300+ this week alone

I saw it coming and moved to all cash near the end of July.

I have enough to retire on, and I'm not going to give it back. The trick now is to pick the proper time to get back in.

I haven't heard about the next class, but I think 160 in this one.

The age bill is going to make the LT's list, that just became effective, grind to a halt. I'm not on it, so it' doesn't hurt me, but still it's got to hurt some people.

I saw in the my local paper today that you guys are without a contract. What exactly does that mean for new recruits and for you as tprs? It was also nice to hear that 30-40% of the force is up for retirement more room for me,john, otvfd, and vzman. SDT can go retire in SoCal, GrayState and Patriot can join when the market gets back up.

yup some of those old timers need to retire already make room for the F.N.G's except for SDT he's cool and has a lot of wisdom and plus the west coast especially cali is wayyy too expensive if anything I would say move down south, I thought I read that the NYSP union started the contract talk a couple of weeks ago or a month of two ago.

You think low teens will make it... I know someone who would be an excellent Zone Commander

Yup, lost $2,300+ this week alone

I'm down just over $4k since 07/01/07 but I'm not retiring for at least another 12 years.
