WARNO, just so you all know...

That's some straight-up bulls**t... especially if you already had a contract!

Wow. That's rough. What happened to a binding contract? Shouldn't that go both ways?

Seriously, when I go back to MEPS to get my new rating I'll make sure and ask about that 11g's they guaranteed me...

My recruiter basically told me when I had to go for another contract when my Nuke one died, that it was my time to ask for whatever I wanted. I ended up getting LRP which I didn't get as Nuke, and I was able to keep the auto E-3. So it worked out in my favor, but it's still a pain in the a$$ that it happened. 161 days and counting...

LRP for IT????!?!?!?

Yep!! And my loans are more than the 11K signing bonus for Nuke so I'm a happy girl!

Did they offer you SLRP exclusively because they had to drop you from NF?

I'm with you I would much rather have that than a bonus.

If I were in your shoes, I'd definitely use this as leverage to hold out for the rating you really want... "Yeah, I was already ready to ship and committed, but you backed out... now I'm not signing anything unless it's [xxx]... call me when it opens and I'm ready to go!"

I hope it doesn't come down to that, I have both chiefs at my office doing everything in their power to make this right in my eyes. I would hate to have to hardball the classifier, but at this point I'm like dam man one of the happiest moments in my life was when I got the call I passed the NAPT and was going to contract as cheesy as that sounds. I have a feeling I'll get CTI, the DLAB doesn't sound too hard and I was told they can go ahead and contract me all in the same day. I walked in the office and Chief was on the phone with MEPS first thing this morning explaining what happened, I faith in those guys that they're going to make this happen for me.

It's really not binding. You can still back out too.
It's the contract that you sign immediately before shipping that really locks you in.

My chief dropped a pretty impressive line of profanity this morning when I went in to get my situation straightened out lol. But I should be good to go still, feeling confident about the DLAB and getting CTI.

Just a HUGE bummer when you've already signed a contract for a field that you legitimately qualified for, and are 5 weeks away from shipping and your contract gets taken! They told me there's no way I could get back in to NF once you get dropped.
