USAF 2012 NTP Board

SN2013 you called me out. lol. I have been peeking at this thread for some time. I'm driving myself nuts waiting for any news. I sure hope August 10th will be the release date. Feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Last week I had to turn down a job because they wanted an 18 month commitment. I'm sure most of you are experiencing the same, and it's quite frustrating because many of the desirable jobs in my area are being taken while I wait for some good news. I was curious. Like I mentioned earlier, I had to turn down a job due to the contractual commitment. Has anyone else had a similar experience? and if so, would voluntary military service be considered a breach of contract?

JB396, I'm sorry you had to turn down a job! That's rough! I was going to switch to work at a different hospital, and asked my recruiter if there would be any problem switching jobs right before selection. He said the only problem would be if I had to sign a contract at the new hospital. So, I'm pretty sure as long as you don't have to sign a contract, you are fine to find a job (even if you will only be working there for a few months because you were selected :)) Good luck to everyone!

Welcome to the board! I'm still in school so I haven't had to deal with the contractual commitments. Where are you from?

I'm in a similar situation. I turned a job down a few months back due to a contract commitment. I haven't looked into it much but I have read things about some HR/equal opportunity type thing where military service can't be counted against violating a contract agreement. I really didn't feel like it was the right thing to do either way at the time and am trying to play things out as professionally as I can until I hear about the Air Force. I also read about people paying a fee for leaving contracts early. I guess mainly it just depends on your situation. I found a job working in flu shot clinics that is temporary/seasonal and would work perfectly if I do get accepted. Granted, this is not a really interesting/great job but it is a paycheck and time filler while waiting. Not sure if this really helps but mainly want to let you know that I am also between that rock and a hard place! Sure isn't super fun but it will really be worth it if everything plays out like I hope it does!

I would die if I had to turn down a hospital job because of a contract

I reaaaaallly hope that I don't get asked to sign a contract. Right now I might be close to landing a job as an RN working with special needs children at schools, but I really don't want to give it up (just in case, ya know). The guy said the application/hiring process might take a while, so maybe I can find out about the AF before anything about a contract comes up!... yeah?

Now I'm a little more anxious. GAH! May luck be on our sides!

...I did find a cricket in an odd place the other day. Crickets are good luck, right?!

SLC2012, I did the flu shot thing last fall! (did the company start with an M?) It was actually pretty fun. lol

I haven't heard anything about anything from my recruiter since he said my package was sent to Texas a month and a half ago. Has anyone else had the same experience?

The company does start with a M. Pretty much, if you're felony free and licensed, you're hired! I'm worried I'll be bored out of my mind.... Any advice?

I didn't hear anything after mine was submitted until my recruiter changed and my new one just called to introduce himself and check in with me. I think mainly, unless you contact them after everything is in, they are just waiting for the list from the board and working with the next group of applicants. Hopefully we'll be talking to our recruiters about a month from now CVA311 and signing a few more papers! :)

I'm from Ohio. The best of luck to you in school, it will be over before you know.

I graduate in December...needless to say, I can't WAIT for it to be over lol. Especially if I'm lucky enough to wear AF blue after graduation!!! :)

Who applied for Med/Surg and who applied for OB? Just talked to my recruiter, they have 46 NTP positions, 40 Med/Surg and 6 OB....
