FDNY Recruit Failed Her Way Into $81,000 Desk Job
New York Post ^ | July 26, 2015 | ySusan Edelman

An FDNY recruit is getting a third chance to pass the training academy after collecting top firefighter pay for a year in desk jobs, sources told The Post.

Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder, 39 — one of four women among 320 current probies in training — failed midway through a Fire Academy class in 2013, and returned to her former job as an EMT.

After entering another class in early 2014, she dropped out because of an injury. But the FDNY kept Doirin-Holder on payroll.

That’s right; outright wealth redistribution and maintaining the façade that there is a viable black middle class.

Yet another reason honest, hardworking people are greatly irritated and disgusted. This affirmative action freak should be fired.

In my town firemen retire before 50; this token will probably work until 64 just coasting...

There is no longer any money left to play grownup with these tokens; as the economy soured companies shed the window-dressing and kept the real workers.

For an idea as to what kind of nonsense the FDNY engages in, recall that after 9/11 newly-elected mayor Bloomberg was asked how many firemen the city intended to hire to replace the 343 that had been killed. His answer: None; they were looking at downsizing & closing firehouses anyway. Government hiring, along with welfare, is the new economy in the NYC metro area (since the private sector started moving jobs out years ago). Also on 9/11: The number of office vacancies thankfully reduced congestion on the stairwells, and one reason it is taking so long to replace the office space is the lack of demand. Lots of government employees going to be working in the new tower - more false economy.

Instead of running a mile and a half, they are going to allow the substitution of running on a Stairmaster?

Gee, I don’t know that fire trucks carried Stairmasters for use at fires?

New York, you know, where the commies rule and the idiots follow.

No question that there is a higher dropout rate training to be a NYFD recruit than at Fort Benning BCT. Ranger School is an entirely different matter.

I was thinking the same thing. Too old to fail?

She’s already failed 2x? How much more obvious can the racism be?

Perhaps I should self-identify as a black woman!
