USAF 2012 NTP Board

Did our recruiter tell you that today?...I haven't heard anything from him...

My recruiter told me 46 about a week and a half ago. After the board started meeting.

Yeah, I was told the same numbers back then as well, just wasn't sure if anyone had heard if those were really the 'official' numbers...

You guys got a newbie joining the post! I've spent my last 2 hours reading every page of this post lol very good information so far! I'm a sophomore at Ohio University and just got accepted into the nursing program last month. I'm still undecided on what career path i want to take whether it be the Navy or the Air Force. Seeing all this excitement for the air force is really making anxious to look further more into it! I've had a passion to pursue nursing in the military and this post is giving me a lot more motivation to be even more successful this coming school year! I will be putting great consideration for the NTP 2013 or 2014 as i continue to learn more.

Take care,

No those were the numbers he gave me around the 24th...I don't think "official numbers" will come out until the official memorandum comes out....what do you think?

Agree. I don't think it'll come out until the official results come out. Either way...I hope we hear Friday

Welcome to the board! To answer your questions, no you can't put your application in until you're within 12 months of your graduation date. But you can start preparing it earlier I believe. And yes, getting in contact with the healthcare recruiter is the best place to start. Something to think about...I've talked to people about the Navy..if you want to get into the navy, you should apply for the NCP (nurse candidate program). I believe they help pay for school if you get accepted into it. It never hurts to contact both recruiters! Also, do research. There's a LOT of information you can find on the Internet :)

Just a couple things to think about and answers your questions. :)

Welcome again.

Thanks for the fast response! and i have looked into the NCP and contacted a navy recruiter to get information on that. It's crazy how competitive these fields are and seeing some of your guys qualifications! Really has opened my eyes and has put me in the right mindset to start preparing in advance. I'll just keep reading and gaining as much knowledge as i can.

That's the best you can do! And with the troops beginning to pull out of some countries, there isn't as high of a requirement right now. But keep working hard, and stay up to date on here :) wish u the best!

Anyone that was as lost as i was when is started reading this post google search "Air Force Nursing Information Booklet" and it will direct you to a great information booklet that summarizes nursing in the Air Force! and alot of the stuff people have been talking about!

Question time again!

Okay so i'm not very "military smart" when it comes to the service. The passion, teamwork, and overrall life experience is what fuels me to learn more about the military and all branches. I'm going to play the "what if" game... So what if i were to go through with this application process my junior year, complete my BSN, pass my NCLEX, doing the NTP and all that good stuff and get choosen. That means I go in as a O-1 Second Lieutenant right? How soon do you advance ranks?

Correct. You'll be a 2nd Lt. I'd wait for someone who's in the military to answer how fast you advance..but within two years I think you advance the first time.

good deal, i'll wait and hopefully get a response to that question. and for my last question of the night...
