Yeah u right about the fines
I was talking about his past offenses
Unpaid fines and tickets r current offenses.
They have to be paid
When I went to processing I had two speeding tickets that I was going to court for they made me pay them. And I had already gave a lawyer $900 to defend me they didn't want to hear that
Lucky for me I left processing to pay them on Monday came back on Tuesday and got processed ( THEY WANT RECEIPTS NOT ONLINE PAYMENT RECEIPTS THE RECEIPTS THEY GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PAY IN PERSON) lucky for me I didn't get held up 30 days later I went to medical and got hired
Good luck

The new seniority book came out today. So it looks like the pick really is actually coming next month (which im thrilled about because im trying to go nights in queens somewhere) but I also think that means that the may 21st class is gonna be the last one and that they are gonna stop hiring (at the very least, for a while). Take that with a grain of salt because I'm new so I may not know what I'm talking about but thats what the senior guys seem to think. I hope thats not the case for you guys and that you guys get in so I can have some people under me in seniority haha. good luck yall
Yeah looking at the list my number went down about three hundred so alot of guys have been promoted

The guys that came to our quarters two weeks ago are not even on the list so I think they have at lease two classes aren't even on that list
And someone posted yesterday that the pic was out
Did u mean the pic was out or that the new senroity list was out because all I saw was the sinority list

Not sure about the last class but the March 12th had 3 over nights there for maintenance and 1 for cleaning. Everyone they met has told them to bid out of Utica lol
