and also if you’re muscular or have big arms. They have 2 wraps, you can ask for the larger cuff if you’re reading higher than normal and for sure it’ll read a tad lower since it’s not squeezing the life out of you. naturally we’ll be nervous as well, you can always tell the physician you’re a bit nervous so they don’t think you’re about to catch a heart attack. i have high BP but I was open about it from the start and had my doctors note. They were aware and I was cleared by the doctor.

Sounds like you did not meet the NOE requirements which may be why you were not qualified for the list.

I’m a bit lost? They wouldn’t have known you do not have a HS diploma or equivalent unless you went to PE. All this time for me, not one person called me or even spoke to me in MTA until my first PE. I would double check if it’s something else or you misunderstood.

I chose the rockports since most folks gave that some good reviews and states its comfortable. Shirts, I was thinking golf polo’s (sweat wicked) since I sweat like no tomorrow. It all depends on what our instructors mention since a member here recently said they’re changing the short sleeve polo policy. are they picky with what shade of grey for shirts and blue for pants, Light/Dark? Any recommendations for pants?

For those who purchased their work boots. i choose the rockports from reviews and forum recommendations. What boot did you pick? What are your pros and cons with your selection.

For those with professional careers. before moving to transit did you resign The second you got sworn in? Or did you wait until your start date at transit (orientation etc)?

115x, our group was fairly small. When waiting for the final swear in the waiting area I counted about 15-17 people waiting with me. I couldn’t see how many was called before me or if everyone was for TO, there were a few BO there in that same group

I’m in for Aug 19th, got sworn in today. would've been a quick medical but the lady giving out the paperwork messed up a few peoples and gave us missing documents. Left around 1:30pm ish and got there at 7:10am. no mention of a September class, they were hush on it.

Same here my dude, July 25th!! 115x

Man, now you have me wondering. I never knew of the 3:1 thing. But on my 2nd PE they took 3 of us in an “interview room” where our paperwork was reviewed by Igor? And a few questions were asked. I’m hoping that’s not the same 3:1 thing.

115x nothing yet, hoping this week I’ll get the golden ticket.

you are the man, how do you even get this info!! prob see you in Aug!

awesome that lifted some weight off the shoulders.

im still banking on it as well. just some things are going on at work and I am really hoping I can jump ship as early as possible.

that a downer to hear, I was there a few weeks back and they mentioned an Aug class, sucks that theyre quiet now.

anyone who was on medical hold know how far back a doctor note is considered valid? I have a note from around april/may stating I was clear and okay to work. wanted to see if that was too far back.

I don't think that is correct. i checked my name from 10/23 and made its way down. 1st request, 10/19 was 1500 requested (provisional replacement), 2nd request 3/14 was 500, 3rd request 3/20 was 600, 4th current 5/2 is 1000. I believe the request is for the classes offered.so to fill 1000 they called 1351 to fill the classes. please correct me if im wrong, but that is how im making out with it.

Appreciate the info!

man its Friday, these forums are DRY! someone shed some light!

Folks around 101x has been confirmed for July 22’s and it’s still a month away. They usually filter through 1:2 to 1:3 ration per class, depending on deferrals and holds being lifted it’s a really good chance if they continue hiring for 7/22.

good stuff, keep it rolling!! good luck all for july 22nd.

your name will not have any changes until it gets close to your #, you'll see a cert date and a expiration date that usually expires in a month. from there you can gauge your number,, mine expired last Friday so I know ill have to wait.

I think you may only make it September if a lot of people defer. im 115 and im hoping for Aug but expecting September (if there's a class). we have to remember each class you might have a good percentage of people who deferred previously being reinstated, and hopefully the drop rate of 1:3 ratio is still valid which means they'll call atleast 180 individuals to fill a class. im just enjoying the rest of this summer preparing for the golden ticket.

i would pre-fill everything ahead of time. i literally didn't have to sign anything since i had it done before hand. find a copy machine and make copies of the blank sheets if you haven't and fill it in, i notice a lot of people did not write "Present" on current jobs/addresses etc. they made a few folks correct it when you go into the room to review your docs. and the piss test, don't forget to time stamp before dropping it in the mail slot. some folks dropped it in without a stamp and it seem the folks behind the wall purposely delayed them for not doing so. they took the pile without stamps dropped it by the stamper and said find your sheets and time stamp, like 4 to 5 people got up and had to wait all over depending on when they came in. also, do not leave that lab room once you go in, they'll get rid of ya on the spot if they catch you. for the B division folks, where do you normally report for tours?

Do we even know the highest called for July yet? Given June just started.
