Congrats to everybody sworn in today!

Now I actually have a question: I have a company holiday party tomorrow night, then the medical on Friday morning. Would it be problematic if I consume alcohol? Not sure what kind of tests they run during medical.

@TO legacy If possible, could you share some insight?

Do yourself a favor and stick to the club soda, this position is more important. Think about it.

They do piss test, they dip a stick in it and pop up several colors,  they match it with the bottle. I dont know what they was looking for. But it was several things like blood sugar, protien , other wierd stuff never heard of. I don't think a little would hurt , but you don't wanna go there hung over. Ekg, eye,audio, wouldn't hurt. But drinking may raise blood pressure. Best to avoid it. Youll need the energy,  its going to be a long day

The urine test was only for sugar as far as the medical. 

But I wouldn’t risk drinking before ANY MTA appointment. 

Not worth if bro.

I advise anybody who hasn't been called yet or is going through p/e to read through this forum because there is a ton of great information and alot of awesome, helpful people. Good luck to all and have patience your time will come. I look forward to meeting everyone in the December 17th class!

Congrats and good luck! You can bring a backpack for the first week or two of orientation at PS 248. When you get your schedule and start going to the yards you have to have a bag that can be carried by hand, you aren’t allowed to cross tracks with a bag on your shoulders! So either a duffle or a “Kaka” bag, which has a handle on the side and the straps can be zipped up. Also a gray shirt lol, dark, light, doesn’t matter. 

What about the orientation at 130 livingston, on the paper it says no bag, and were you referring to this bag

Yeah that’s one type of Kaka bag. For 130 Livingston it’s not mandatory to have the bag yet, you can if you want since the class is the 17th. Once they give you you’re tools it will help to have the bag because carrying them with the books in a duffle bag or similar is irritating! I tried that by getting the husky tool bag, that was a dub!

Longest Pre-employment in my life....got there at 6:45 left at 7:00. I'm #15** on the list and I'm confident they'll be more days like this ahead. But it'd be worth it in the end. 😤

To my understanding they have 25 people sitting in seats they are looking to fill more seats but have not completely filled all of the seats for the december 17th class. They didnt give word as to how many seats they would like to fill or when the next class is. Was there from 7am-7pm. They call you at random when you are there. Bring a snack some entertainment and a lot of patience. Staff is pretty chill for the most part. Oh did i mention bring some extra patience you will need it. Whoever is preparing to go in for their first p/e may have to do another. If i didnt mention this before bring some patience. As far as #’s that have been appointed goes a woman came out of a room and stated that theyre up to the 700 range. Oh last but not least you will need some patience, everyday is different and some may experience a shorter wait time than i did, still try to get there early. Oh and i am beating a dead horse with the same stick because you need patience. Good luck everyone and much success.

What exactly do you do when your there? Are you just there standing around or sitting waiting to be called? Are you filling out any type of paperwork? Do they call you for the urine test right away? Or is that the part that your waiting there the longest for? I was thinking about getting there Atleast 5am

You get paper work as soon as you get upstairs. You are waiting to take the urine test disregard the ticket board when you get there again they dont go by that. Get there early so you can get a seat

I already did p/e on the 7th. But they're not at my number for medical, sadly. So it's a waiting game for now. Hoping for a jan class.

Youre welcome i didnt hear anything about the Jan class guess they are waiting on the approval from the higher ups. But i have read here on the forum that they have a class set for Jan. We were also advised yesterday to contact Ms. Vargas to check the status of being scheduled for Medical after we had completed our drug test. seeing that youve been waiting so long you should try.
