I trying to gauge weather or not I can work my normal job and mta for like an month Also my school says 8 am but doesn't have an end time .. Was your the same and then it changed to 7-3 or was it always 7-3 orientation lasted till about 4pm you'll report to school at 8am till 4pm on the first day and then from 7am to 3pm from then on times are not guaranteed, on some days they might ask you to come in for a PM session to attend fire safety or similar at a different location etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birth certificate of anything? for orientation? just ID and maybe a marriage certificate for a spouse in order to add them to your medical etc. cant remember if they asked for anything else but doesn't hurt to bring all your docs just in case ... also get a bulky notepad to start taking notes from orientation and school soon after 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
