This is the type of people that work for Long Island Railroad. Another typical keyboard warrior. The fact is you wouldnt say a single disrespectful word to my face. Your actually the one who started all of this. 

Typical keyboard warrior? You’re hiding behind a computer and username calling people donkeys. Call us donkeys tomorrow in class to our face, I can’t wait.

Anyone know if we get paid for the first 3 days of orientation or does it start the following Monday of training?

I went for my medical.  There was a physical fitness portion which consisted of climbing up and down a latter a few times, stepping over a third rail and walking down a little section of track, pulling a weight 3 times with each arm and bending a hose(I think maybe a portion of train brake hose) 3 times with each hand. That part took less than 10 minutes. There was also about 4-5 pages of paper work to fill out, an eye exam, a hearing test, ekg, blood pressure, etc..... The drug test was very strict, I’m sure that’s the norm but I’ve never had to take one before. I was out of there in a little under 2 hours. 

Drug test strict how ? Is it only a urine test ?

ok i guess i will try to email linda or michelle tomorrow morning or both of them. Are you on the job fd87? if not what stage are you at in this process? did u pass sd test? when?

Hey guys I’ve been keeping up with this forum since i applied for this job but never made an account until I knew I was rolling .. I’ve been very patient but when someone said they had gotten an email the other day that passed in October I emailed Linda just asking her if I was still a candidate for the position. (I passed July 16th). She emailed me back about 20 minutes later asking if I was interested in the February 13th class and sent me links to start the background. Hope this helps.
