Metro Transit In DC is Hiring NO AGE LIMIT!!

[Nero22]

Anything new? Havent heard from them yet.

[NycNick98]

Nope not yet. Almost done filling all of the stuff out though. Do a little each day makes you not go insane as much lol

[RC182]

Anybody hear anything?!

[TM3584]

NOPE, not a thing. I might have to contact a recruiter to see whats up but I guess all we can do is just be patient and get all of the packet completed! Ill keep everyone posted on here...

[Hof82]

I have a gut instinct that they will call us a week or two beforehand. In the meantime, keep getting that packet together. Heres hoping its a speedy process after the Oral Board, although I wouldn't bet on it.

My best friend who got his credentials from the MTPD this past October said they called him one week before the NVCJA academy session started last January.

Some notables?

Get ready for lots of insults and push ups during "Hell Week."

There is a full contact fighting component to DT, and your instructor WILL hit you as hard as he can (although you do wear a face mask). One recruit had half his tooth broken off, another had his tooth knocked out and swallowed it.

Sounds....AWESOME!!

Sounds....AWESOME!!

LOL! The positives greatly outweigh the negatives, when all is said and done. My buddy did say that the academy flies by pretty quickly. PT isn't too bad despite lots of running, and the academics are a breeze.

He just got out of Field Training, and is loving the work. They see a lot of action down there, a lot of assaults, lots of traffic work. Well, depending on which District you are assigned to, that is. The uniform sounds pretty cool -- blue BDU's. Morale is pretty good, as well.

I think website says that you have to pay for your Academy uniforms, but my buddy said that WMATA paid for all that when he went into the Academy.

You guys should definitely be hearing from them very soon. Not sure how it works for out-of-state applicants, but I do hope you guys have housing arrangements for when the call comes.

I just got a call from MTPD by a Detective. Everything has to be mailed by mid January, with everything completed and sent in (except IRS forms). They anticipate Oral Board Interviews to be held in Feb. Good luck ladies and gents, lets get all our paperwork completed and in order!

[Hof82]

I too just received the call from the Background Detective regarding the Oral Board. They are trying to schedule the interviews for February in NY, and they want everything sent to them ASAP. Good luck to everyone in the application process and hopefully we all have a successful process. Happy Holidays.

[IceMan1093]

[rowdykid123]

Awesome good luck guys!! If anyones interested I have an oral board manual that got me through mine ill be happy to email it pm me.

[RC182]

Yea, same here got that call.

[Nero22]

Guys, did we need five neighbor references or three? I could have sworn they said three, but the book says five.

[RC182]

Yeah, unfortunately we need five neighborhood references...
