[JOLLY-461]

What do they mean by retesters in the recruit site.

Can you be more specific.

[papdrecruit17]

@stas526...oh ok, thank u.

[papdrecruit17]

JOLLY-461 ... I got the answer I was looking for, thank u.

[larry_singer]

Has anyone heard anything about their blood/urine analysis done at the medical? Is no news good news?

[L33]

I'm guessing they would have called if there was a problem

[Joey1995]

I did mine two days ago havent heard anything but i got a buddy in pd who told me if you dont hear anything then its a good thing.

[JOLLY-461]

I know with my current org it takes a couple weeks to get results back. It all depends on where they're processing them. Definitely no news is good news.

[L33]

Just curious on the Suffolk candidates that have taken the medical, what are your ranks? I'm NYC 40xx, but I know people holding out for Suffolk.

[larry_singer]

L33, Did you take your Medical yet?

[L33]

Yes Larry, passed it Jan 5 (pending blood and urine)

[larry_singer]

Awesome. Good luck to you. We're close to getting the call, hopefully.

[Modest23]

larry_singer If you selected Long Island, just curious, what was your approximate rank? I had selected Long Island but switched to NYC to boost my chances of getting called this class. Long island would have been a much easier commute for me though.

[larry_singer]

Modest, I selected NYC.

Does anyone know if you work in NYC as a court officer do you get a free metro card for law enforcement officers? Also, I work for NYS cuurently, would I start at my current salary?

[JOLLY-461]

It appears that there is a Bill at the State Senate to include Court Officers in the No Fare Program.

[L33]

No free metro card, your salary should carry over.

[The hopeful]

No free metro card, your salary should carry over.

Ummm no your salary does not carry over only time.

[L33]

My mistake hopeful. Thought it did.

I know a few NYS correction officers who came over to the courts. They kept their salary. It’s worth looking into. Your time definitely counts. You can ride subway free in uniform no metro card.

What unblindeacon said

[Joey1995]

Question regarding the list for the upcoming academy. Does anyone know if the compression shorts have to be navy blue as well as the compression shirts?

[Modest23]

Are you guys buying long sleeve compression shirts or short sleeve? Will the training be done all indoors?

[Jfee26]

Additional questions...can a logo be visible on the shirt (small nike check near heart/under armour emblem)
Second....by compression shirts do they mean like the tight fitting gear that keeps you warm...or athletic wear like a nike cotton t-shirt...Sorry if these questions seem stupid but i DO NOT want to be the guy they single out on the first day.

[larry_singer]

Jfee, did you get the call?

[Joey1995]

Im not sure exactly what the specifics are but i bought a long sleeve shirt, 2 short sleeve shirts, one pair of shorts and one pair of compression pants. I bought the tight athletic under armour ones. Idk which brands you prefer but they are not cheap. Shirts were about 25$ each shorts were about $30 and pants were about $40

I also just got called from the medical clinic saying that i passed the medical but they are making me go to my primary doctor in 3 months because my creatinine was a little low.

[Jfee26]

Navy blue?

[Joey1995]

I have navy blue shirts and black shorts and pants

[Jfee26]

Question regarding the list for the upcoming academy. Does anyone know if the compression shorts have to be navy blue as well as the compression shirts?

Larry, no i did not get call...pending drug and blood test (which i will pass) and im a higher rank than almost everyone who has posted their rank #

[larry_singer]

If you don't mind can you give me a ball park of your rank.? thanks
