Do they try to put you close to home when placing new guys or does it not matter to them? I herd that manhattan is the best place to work because somehow you make more money there. Is that true? How about Queens locations, any good ones there?

I had to wait for my medical also . So that does not mean you are disqualified . The October class is full but your chances for November are still good keep your head up and goodluck

I wouldn't wait for someone to 'reach out' to the x-ray place. I would start calling the x-ray place myself or even visit if you' re in the area and find out what the delay is and get it corrected immediately.

They put you where they need you. You can always put in a tranfer closer to home later.

this job out of all the city agencies is by far the worst for family and personal life, and have done little or nothing to make it better for a long long time.

Bullprick is 100% right..I don't want to be a downer and im glad for the new hires but I just want to stress to them that you need to GET READY FOR A TOTAL LIFESTYLE CHANGE for the next few years..stick with the guys you come on with and the guys close to you in seniority because its sad but most guys will talk behind your back any chance they get..there is no unity on this job so don't trust anybody especially supervisors lol..I just want to give you guys a heads up because this job is so easy that you have guys who want to make it out to be the most important job in the world..those are the ones who ruined the job..you'll know exactly what I mean after a couple of months..prepare you and your family for the next few years that it will be a stressful time for your entire family..good luck and hope to work with some of you
