My Dad was with FDNY I took the test in the late 80's. I wrote in the high 90's and shocked the time keepers on the physical. My Dad had hooked me up with a pre class, jump rope and a 40# weight vest. I lived in a six story walk up on 65th Street at the time. So I would go from the ground floor to the roof with the vest on multiple times a day. My written was not high enough to make the first class. I did get to take my meds, signed in the big leather book. Looked back through it to find my Dads signature. That was awesome! In the end by the time I got called I had moved to Indiana. Recently I started to volunteer with the local fire house.
