  1. They had to adjust scores and lost numbers cause 1 session was not graded properly, one of the answers was incorrect
  2. Day 1 of 15 Posting,boldly going where no one has gone before, well except one over the pass three weeks but i'm not gonna let Nipaaaa take my spotlight :P. Had PM relays at 179 today. Did a relay on the upper overhanging, then a relay on the lower, another relay on the lower, then a relay on the upper overhanging again. then a double end on the lower where I did the put in. Then another double end but on the upper. I did the put in again. Then lunch. After lunch we took a train to the lower relay and then back to Jamaica yard. We didn't go into the yard, Just into the lead up to the first homeball of the yard, then changed ends and bought it back to LU1 on D4 parsons. Then a double end relay to the lower, I did the put in side. Very busy day for me. I was with T/O Douglas. Very cool guy and had some great advice for braking. I learned a lot today!
  3. Every TSS has their info, my TSS Oliver said that there are no classes until may, so don't ride on an opinion
  4. Wanna wish all the luck to my 12/16/18 induction brothers this weekend! Jay and Legacy! P.S. Don't show up late Jay 😛😂🤣😅
  5. Yeah that's gonna be the hard part, we're not gonna have favorable weather
  6. I'm on the 2774 Babylon to Patchogue we are stalled just east of Bayshore between 4th and 3rd conductor said we are clear of the gates.
  7. Passed the midterm and pre signal test, sitting within TB-12 brethren.
  8. Yeah you wait, they will most likely email you when they want you to come in. Don't be surprised if it's not right away, they waited1 month after my first expired to contact me but contacted me again 1 week later for medical. So they will probably wait until closer to when they will be close to final process, did you change your contact information with the MTA?
  9. To quote a friend of mine, he must of gone easy on you guys cause he's not instructing you 😛
  10. Oliver was the same way with us, was he a breeze for you guys? I heard there is a list they have to follow...
  11. 2 retakes, one for track components and another for cuts and adds,I had In Khan for all processes,I aced it! Khan was a cool dude to me though
  12. Yeah were here at concourse r68's everywhere! Good luck with oliver... he's a combination of bad koolaid and bananas in the tailpipe!
  13. I wanna say good luck to my all my fellow Dec 16th Classmates that have their Yard Movement Practical Today!
  14. He's being modest,he is the most helpful. Keep calm it's not like most of the horror stories say. The new direction they are taking they really want you to pass,the TSS's wanna look good lol. I was terrified 2 weeks ago I wouldn't be able to pass a practical but now...I'm good, I feel like I can pass it the TSS did a lot of focus on me. You'll make it. Even a bit of confidence can help. You'll make it!
  15. Geeeeeet itttttttt. Have fire training tonight. They weren't expecting us though, I blame jay...
  16. Our TSS was told we were the worst of the groups for the signal practice at the simulator lol
  17. Oh what do you TB 12s know about snafus 😝. Positive note some pieces came really quick
  18. You get your pass the first day of school car. And you have to stay 8 hours no exception. Even if they have nothing for you they will hold you for the 8 hours.
  19. Also my class doesn't seem to do group study...we aren't a together class...to numbers and everything but noone really communicates with each other except our 2 promotionals..
  20. Oliver and Daughtry. Daughtry was a teacher for conductors, this is his first T/O class...
  21. I know that but the procedure is nuts step by step and my yard practical 2 months away. I wish there was an outside source or a video or something. Cause having to wait for everyone to do a cut and add I'm not gonna get much practice
  22. Congrats man. I'm straight terrified. Not sure I can cite all the signals verbatim. Cutting and adding seems complicated. Granted I just started on the 17th. But I can't seem to retain alot of it...
  23. So I figured I'd post what I've been through here. First day was December 17th. The first week the first 3 days was pretty much orientation for both TA and Union. Lots of paper work and books handed out. Pretty much cut of the river orientation stuff for most big companies, got some equipment the 3rd day at the Union hall. The 4th day Thursday we were back at PS248 we got more equipment and started to learn some basic Acronyms but the most important ones. Learn them! These acronyms that they teach you at the start are gonna come in use for when you first start yard posting on your on. They will be your prayer every day. All classes even A division (I'm B) went down to CI yard and got track certified. Was cool to climb on a R46. Friday was first day of OT. Security was suppose to show to do some training with us but never did. It was a regular learning day, as was Sunday. You usually won't have to do training on Sunday it just applies to us so we can have the holiday eve's and holidays off. So Thursday we started reporting to individual locations. My class started with 207 yard and learning the R32. There was no R32 learning the first day though. We learned about key by signals most of the day and a bit of terminology. Today Thursday we learned some basics on rail components and switch components and safely traversing tracks in yards(Different then when we went to CI yard as we weren't even close to any switches and in yards you will have to traverse switches.)In the later part of the day we did walk the yard and watched how to inspect the R32 and some components under the truck, then climbed aboard the R32. We each took a turn charging the train and dumping the brakes(I didn't really catch on I need a list or something lol).We also knocked off and reapplied the hand brake. No actual movement but was still cool though.More fun tomorrow as we report to ENY yard for the R42!
