If you really are interested in the program, I would suggest talking with a recruiter/navy representative at your local station to give you the details. We will certainly help you here but the NF program is a TON of information to digest. I can run through the process but for me to be detailed it's going to be like sitting down and writing a novel.

I had an NF contract for the longest time but I was forced to reclass because of things way higher than me. The program is shrinking and standards are getting higher, I qualified but I got the axe. Ask about the NF program and if no one can talk about it maybe they might put you on the phone with someone. But if not you'll still have us here.

Well I dont have the greatest relationship with my local recruiter but I am heading somewhere for a red cross volunteer thing, Ill be sure to hit up that recruiter and see what they have to say. Thanks

I can sit down later today and make a pretty good detailed post on my experience, it may even bring more closure to why I lost my NF contract because there are people on here that may know more than me.

I was supposed to hit book camp a week from today, now I have to wait until October.

Wow, that does suck. Sorry to hear that.

It's all good, the sudden change in jobs wasn't as bad as the fact that I signed my contract in October of last year and they waited until about a month before I was supposed to ship out to let me know I couldn't ship for NF.

They're working as hard as they can to move me up sooner if possible, I know it's only another 4 months but I feel like I've been stir crazy and getting stale for how long I have had to wait. I keep a countdown to how many days until I ship and it's crushing to see it go from 30 days until shipping back up to 130 days. But might as well get used to it, I bet it's the same feeling while on deployment and you're told you're cruise will last another 4-5 months.

No doubt about being stir crazy. Its only been fourth months since I started losing weight but I'm so ready to just begin this part of my life.
