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?

You know the academic eval that AFPC sent us? I cant figure out how they calculated my GPA. I am coming up close for the cumulative (the 100th is off)but my science GPA isnt close (off by >10th)??? Anyone else think that AFPC calculated their GPAs weird?

I don't know how he works it out. My NECP gpa is different than my AECP GPA and both are different than what the school shows as my GPA.

I have way too much time on my hands LOL. I found the gpa thing on the NECP site I was actually looking for the old guidelines and ran across minutes from NNDSO (I have no idea what that stands for). DPAMN gives updates on NECP in there. Unfortunately they only have the minutes for Jan/Feb 2010.I'll email you the link to where they post the minutes.

Hey thanks!! Sorry I got busy for awhile, yeah my email is rediculously long and the underscore can get you. I've had that email for about 6 years though and I keep it just because if I changed it I'd probably forget LOL. So I ran across one little problem I think, my husband and I are pcsing to Elmendorf and it's a long tour. When I was looking over the NECP requirements it said if your OCONUS and long tour you have to get permission from AFPC (I think) to be able to apply. Anyone think they will give me a hassle trying to get that permission? I sure hope not, I wouldn't want to have to wait four more years to try to apply to NECP if AECP doesn't work out :(.

Hi! Is the 3.4 the overall GPA or the math and science GPA? Wow you really have a hookup with all of this info! Everyone I talk to knows nothing about this stuff!

3.4 is the average overall GPA.

I think whether or not they give you a hassle will depend on far into the tour you are when its time to apply. I know for a short tour you have to have at least nine months on station prior to your class start date. I can't rememeber off the top of my head how long you have to do for a long tour, but I'll research it tomorrow and get back to you. I think I rcall the reg. I'm on a 3 yr minimum tour at Scott so I had to look it up to figure out if I needed a waiver from AFPC.

Hi, for people in overseas locations I hope this helps: -- AFI 13-2013: 1.11. Overseas Curtailment for Attending Air Force Commissioning Programs. Individuals serving in an overseas area interested in applying for an Air Force commissioning program requiring a Date Eligible for Return from Overseas (DEROS) curtailment must comply with all provisions listed in AFI 36-2110. These procedures provide applicants a window of opportunity to serve as much of their tour length as possible. Monitoring of this window is critical to the success of the applicants submitting their commissioning application. AFRS will initiate DEROS curtailment requests for BOT selectees as required.-- AFI 13-2013: airman cannot apply to AECP or NECP is they have served less than 1/2 their tour. (BUT, this can be curtailed, see above) -- AFI 13-2013 You must apply before the 25th day of the 8th month before your DEROS. (this is so you won't have an assignment selection)AFI 13-2013: Airman may voluntarily request an extension of their overseas tour to become eligible for consideration under this rule. AFPC/DPAA5 will consider overseas tour extensions on their own merits. Send the request to AFPC/DPAA5.(I had to extend my DEROS to have enough time left otherwise I would have been selected for an assignment.Having an assignment selection is another item on the checklist that requires a waiver.) Bottom Line: I recommend trying to figure out your time table early and make your plans/do your research. Also, I let my leadership know what I was planning to do pretty early, so when it came time to get curtailments/extensions, etc. they were working with me. Also, if you have any waivers, curtailments, AFPC DPAMN will coordinate with your APFC FM to get your "waiver". You do not need to submit paperwork or anything, just coord with Mr. B for those items.I knwo this is a lot, but it is tricky when you are overseas. I hope this helps...:)
