Anyone else see on the civil service website the "basic recruit acceptance procedure changes for July 2007?" After reading it I would think that the biggest issue, aside from getting a city to sponsor you, would be the cost of the health insurance and long term disability insurance. Anyone know what the ballpark figure would be for a single guy to get health insurance/ long term disability insurance?

I don't know the figure, but I have heard of guys who try to go that way and don't last because the costs are so high. I assume you would have to be wealthy to begin with before considering this option.

Couldn't you COBRA from your full time job?

I used COBRA, but it was like 400 a month.

Just cancel your insurance after a few weeks in the academy and hope for the best.

Thats like parking your uninsured unregistered vehicle in the academy lot... risky.

Yea that would be no good since integrity is such a big part of the academy.

COBRA is for people who have insurance and then leave a job for whatever reason. There are other options for insurance while in the academy that are much, much cheaper than cobra. $150 to 250 per month for a decent plan. PM me if you need info.
