Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program USAF

Published

Hello, I am in the Air Force. I recently applied to the 2010 Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Progam (NECP). I am waiting for the board results. Anyone else out there as anxious as me?

I wanted to share the good news with everyone...at 1630 MST my SQ/CC called my cell phone and informed me that I was selected for the NECP! I guess the list went out a little earlier than expected. Good luck to everyone, you should be finding out very soon!

Just something for everyone to compare to, here's what I applied with:

Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ

Full acceptance letter (health/immunization requirements already completed)

AFROTC Form 48: 50 credits, 12 A's, 3 B's (ENG 101/102 and math)

Cum GPA: 2.96

Science GPA: 4.0

Credits: 83 semester hours

TIS: 7.5 years (SSgt)

AFSC: 2W0 (Ammo)

PME: ALS (No CCAF degree)

EPRs: Three firewall (2009, 2007, 2006) and two 5's with one markdown each (2008, 2005)

Decs: 12 ribbons +4 devices

Security clearance: Secret

PT Test: 87.50

I feel my letter of recommendation was very strong. I "helped" write it myself, so it should be ;) I tried to incorporate the "whole person" concept into it, highlighting aspects from military duties (including two technical order changes), recent academic success, management ability, and even my role on the flight softball team and the base golf team.

I never got to read my CN interview summary, but I was assured that I did very well. It was actually with a Col and a Lt Col (who was TDY here and sat in). What a lot of brass! We actually talked for an hour, and the interview felt very informal after about 15 minutes. I cracked the ice with my response to the first question: Why did you want to become a nurse? A: I thought it would be a great way to meet women. Haha! I had a real answer waiting to follow that up, as I had a feeling it would be asked at some point. There were more questions, but the most of it was a very frank discussion of what AF nursing is all about. I was actually the one asking the questions for last 30 mins or so. I also asked that my low cumulative GPA be addressed in the summary, and how my pre-AF grades dragged my GPA down, and I was promised it would be.

My personal essay was very honest and thought-out. I won't go into details here, everyone has their own reasons.

All in all this has been the most stressful experience EVER. I didn't mind so much when I was still in school, as I was still in control of things. After my package was in the mail the real stress set in because I realized there was nothing more I could do. I'm sure a lot of people reading this felt the same way. Finally, I can start enjoying summer...

I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's acceptance posts!

For those of you still waiting here is why.....the official release date isn't actually until 10 June, thursday at 1400Z. Some of your CC's might be waiting until that official time to tell you if they do have it. My unit is in charge of sending it out to all the units and then they pass to their CC's and it was received from AFPC on Tuesday morning. This is why some know and some do not. I am also one who was accepted and the wait if finally over for me. Good luck to all of you.
