nextengineer Posted August 30, 2019 Share #1653 Posted August 30, 2019 Is it ridiculous to ask if the turn around time would be too quick for those of us taking the S&D on 9/7 to have a shot at being in the 9/18 Phase 1? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain that those of you taking your s&d on 9/7 will not be looked at for this 9/18 phase 1. They certainly do not rush things and as far as I know the 9/18 class is already put together. You may be looking at the next phase 1 which will be sometime in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the mistake of wearing jeans and had to adjust my jeans to walk over ballast and mimic climbing a locomotive. Lol. I swear that Locomotive climb in Mineola is higher than any Engine I've ever had to get on, even on the lower Montauk when the Engine is banking away from you it didn't feel as difficult as Medical's 'engine'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick27 Posted September 1, 2019 Share #1667 Posted September 1, 2019 Congratulations to everyone who got a call for the next phase 1. It must be so exciting for everyone. I see that it starts Sept 18, a day before my interview . Im hoping I will get called for the next class that may start in Jan. Good luck to everyone and I am sure I will see you all around someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seem512 Posted September 2, 2019 Share #1668 Posted September 2, 2019 Hey @Nick27 I’m in that same boat my brother 😩 My interview is the day before Phase 1 start as well.

Lirrdream Posted September 4, 2019 Share #1670 Posted September 4, 2019 Got 2 pages of rules down verbatim so far, the length of these rules make the definitions look like childs play. I try to learn 2 rules per day while also squeezing in review of the definitions and signals, which would leave me with little to memorize once class begins... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenyce311 Posted September 4, 2019 Share #1671 Posted September 4, 2019 For those who have families. This will be a testament of your relationship. You will not be there emotionally and mentally and IT WILL take a toll. Just reassure them the end goal. The grass is greener on the other side. She will have to support you also. Especially when you graduate with all the crazy hours. If she can get through the first 2-3 years. She’s a keeper. Good luck guys. Be strong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this multiple times here and I have spoken to my fiancée about it. She seems on board and ready to deal with it. We don’t have kids at the moment so that’s a plus. But she understands the sacrifice since her dad worked for MTA-NYC Transit for over 30 years. So I think we are ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
