Enjoy the next three weeks of freedom, and honestly, once you're in, study, study, study. It's an the equivalent of an intensive college summer class, so it's going to soak up what's left of your free time after your commute to and from the school. Plus, vitamins and coffee (or tea) will become your new friends.

Otherwise, welcome to Transit!

Start reading the rules and regulations book (if they gave it to you) familiarized yourself with all the signals. That would give you a head start on what's to come. First week you'll be in a school in Gravesend, and that's mostly orientation stuff. After that you will go to every yard in your division. Look up where the yards are for your division so you have an idea how to get there. Buy a kaka bag that you can hide the straps and a watch (no smart watches). Schedule after the first week is 7 am to 3 pm Sat and Sunday off mostly.  Good luck!

You never know. I was called for medical for the November 15th class on November 10th, and they were saying that class was full too. It seems classes start around every 6 weeks now, so if you don't get in the February 14th next class should be late March or early April.

Thanks for the hopes!!!

Maybe  someone here can help me. I was placed on a medical hold and my 90 days passed trying to get all the information they wanted. When I went back, they told me my name was no longer on the list and had to contact dcas to get reinstated. Did all that now they say I'm not certified or something and I don't know how to remedy that. They won't answer the phone or respond to emails. Can someone explain to me, what can I do?

Those are the two people that let my time expire and never get back to me.

Those are the only people that I have ever gotten a reply from. Also, if you are ever on medical hold and you have the documentation to get the hold removed you need to just got down to 180 Livingston and tell them you are there to remove the hold. You do not need an appointment to remove a medical hold. 

If you've already contacted DCAS to put your name back on the list, you should just got to 180 Livingston, tomorrow morning if you can, and tell them you were reinstated buy not certified. Maybe they will have you redo your drug test so that you can redo medical.
