Review Entry -Level Firefighter/Paramedic Applications The Commission reviewed several application packets for the Entry -Level Firefighter/Paramedic Examination: #13 did not complete his application. The Commission will give this applicant ten (10) days to comply. #24, #30, #32, #34, #44, #58, and #60 had minor misdemeanor offenses and after the Commission reviewed their applications, the applicants are allowed to take the test. #14, #29, and #52 has submitted valid agility certifications at the time of application and now has expired. General discussion followed regarding rule language and the consensus of the Commission is to let the applicants take the examination and if they do not have a valid agility certification once the Firefighter/Paramedic Eligible List has been certified, then the Commission will deal with that issue. #17 and 463 are over the time limit on their agility certifications; therefore, their applications will be rejected. #65 did not submit an agility certification; therefore his application will be rejected. #25 is claiming education credit but the transcript does not show a degree. He will receive no extra credit for his Tri -C Transcript. 453 submitted a NASCAR Institute diploma. He will not receive any extra credit for that diploma. #55 submitted an Associates Diploma for Emergency Medical Service Tech and Fire Protection Tech. The applicant will receive 4 extra credit points for his 2 associates' degrees. #27 is claiming Military extra credit. Consensus of the Commission is that the applicant has 2 years of military credit; therefore, he will be receiving 2 extra credit points. 437 is claiming Military extra credit. After the Commission's review, the applicant has 2 years and 2 months of service; therefore, he will receive 2 extra credit points.
