Can someone kindly tell me...what do I wear the first day of training...the notice says blue pants and shirt...do we get uniforms to wear the rest of training. Just so happens I don't own blue pants or shirt, so I have to buy them.just wondering if I should buy more than one set if I have to wear it throughout training.money is tight, so I don't want to buy clothes I won't need..thanks guys

thanks

Comforting task...How often do T/O find themselves doing this. I always wondered as a newbie will I be picking up my train from the yard (i.e Coney Island under the belt parkway) or will I be relieving a T/O at a train station, not sure what is more common.

what is this third rail jumper thing everyone is talking about, Hate to sound ignorant..

hey new guys, i start on 12/17...A quick question about benefits, not sure if this the right place, but if someone can point me in the right direction to another thread i would appreciate that also. Was the topic of domestic partners discussed in terms of health care coverage during the orientation...I know they cover domestic partners, but i need to get a domestic partner packet to add my girlfriend to my coverage. Any help with this would be appreciated...The topic is kinda stumping me right now on what to do in terms if affidavits and other IRS jargon. We trying to figure if its worth the trouble to do so. We currently dish out 400 bucks a month for her coverage

Congrats see you 12/17

The class starts on dec. 17 It was supposed to start on december 3, but got delayed for whatever reason. Its hard to tell sometimes to tell when you will get called...ppl who have medical holds come back and get placed into later classes. Like myself, i went for drug testing on October 3. Was on schedule to start November 12, but medical hold and a two-day delay in processing because of the medical hold bumped me to the 12/17 class...IM in the 150's

irregular heartbeat, skips in beats, high pulse/heartbeat....won't disqualify you, but you will be asked to go to your own doctor and have him check you out and clear you for the position by giving them whatever they ask for.

i was list number 150s, thanks

went for medical/final processing on Monday. I was put on hold because my pulse was high...took care of things and now i was sworn in last night...I don't start however until 12/17. When i was finally cleared late yesterday afternoon, the last November spot had just been taken. they said the 12/3 class was pushed back, don't know why. Kinda stinks because my job went under with the hurricane, so now im unemployed, but i'm employed...kinda wired, happy, but i am gonna fall behind the next two months in my bills big time...

Got my call call today...report for medical/processing on 11/5

let me ask you guys, what day did you go in for preemployment? i went in on October 3 (asking because I think this has more to do with when they call you back. they do it in say, groups of people) and i am in the mid 150's... still waiting for my phone call, but hearing this elevated my level of excitement and at the same time elevated my level of anxiety. congrats by the way and good luck elantra06

i want to thank everyone on here that came to this forum with useful information and those who continue to exchange information relevant to the hiring process. It keeps us updated and informed so we know what to expect. If i didn't know better I would be freaking out since i went to preemployment and still haven't received a call back yet. I only recently joined this forum, but i was stalking it for quite a while checking for information. so thanks. can someone who recently got hired for the 10/22 class describe the physical exam in detail. what is done, what is asked, as much details would be appreciated

who knew the Bronx could ignite such a thoughtful thread of conversation....joking. Once i read the original comment, i'm shocked the conversation stayed as friendly as is. Lesson in life, especially through text readings on forum, emails, etc.., you can't always say or type what you're really thinking because it can sometimes come out wrong. I get your point about the socio-economic conditions from a sociology/ archaeological standpoint. There is a legitimate arguments there. However, the way it was introduced left readers wondering what you truly meant, and some took it as far as thinking you were insulting them. Besides there are many factors for urban failures or as the cliche would say (inner-city) populations. Lack of quality education is just one of many aspects. But then one must ask what leads to the lack of quality education and then another argument sprouts within the context of the original discussion. That's why things are best left unsaid at times. The assumption that people towards the top of the list are white and from Brooklyn and thus will choose B division, is also a bad assumption. Just my take on this... still waiting for my phone call, (150s) feel like im in limbo between heaven and hell

yep same here still waiting....want to get it over with already
