      Depends on how many they need to get through. I had my medical back in February, didn't get my poly until the end of July.

            The current academy is just finishing EMS training and is about to start suppression school. The academy is deifferent than years past with a new basic training staff. They do PT 5 days a week. As long as you are in decent shape you will be fine.

                Nope, you still have to take all of the exams and pass everything. You will not sit for the national registry test obviously.

                              hey guys thanks for your replies. Had my polygraph today, went well for the most part. but it sounds like ill have to come back for another one at a later date. its very likely I am out of the running for the February class. good luck to all of those waiting on THE CALL.
