Just got done with phase 1 medical and passed everything, (that ladder is high as hell lol). @Steven trejo I knew you were going to get called. @Kicker and @Iwetoddit now the real work begins. I know that @LIRRrailfan is here lurking as well, hopefully you got the call as well. Congrats to all of you guys, just making this far is a great achievement in itself.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 2-3 weeks after that. Nov 2nd is your test. Probably 2-3 weeks after that you’ll start phase 2. So yea. Go ahead and cancel that vacation. There’s no taking Days off in phase 2. And 100% attendance is needed. Phase 2 you have weekends off. So you can forget about having weekends off once you qualify and get used to going on vacation in January. Just a heads up.

But I imagine it also depends on filling the class? I thought we would wait a bit as well after phase 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

republic Posted August 29, 2019 Share #1638 Posted August 29, 2019 Congratulations on Phase 1. The last three phase two classes have been the sixth Wednesday after the phase 1 test, so if the pattern holds your phase 1 test will be November 2 with phase 2 beginning December 11. Good luck in phase 1, you control your own destiny now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
