Those of you who’ve been lucky enough to win the NCEPT lottery, mind sharing your experience(s) on:

Where you were wanting to go,
Where you’ve gotten &
How long you had to wait to get there?

Feel free to make this an NCEPT bitching thread as well ☕️

First try to NCT. Only place i put in for. Released 9 months after panel.

First and only NCEPT try to D21 from ZMP in 2018. Put paper work in 1 day after certifying. Panel ran the end of that month. Area rep said “wtf man” and released me 7 months later.

Actual attempts to leave: three NCEPTs.
Six years at first facility, got to my most wanted on the last.
Of the three attempts, applied to six total facilities, but different facilities each attempt. One facility the first time, two the second, and three the final try.

Was certfied at my first facilty just after NCEPT came out, got stuck at a lower level hard to staff high COL up-down... 4 years later finally got lucky to be picked up and had a 6 month release, for a mid level tower. Then from the mid level spent just under 3 years there when I got picked up for a "dream" level 12... 3 month release.

2017: first time selected, 1 year release…got moved up to about 7 months. Bid every facility in my home state, just hoping to get back as we were expecting our first child. Ended up at a lower level facility.

2019: selected for one of the 11s at home. 3 month release.

One of the lucky ones. Only applied to 3 panels and got selected on 2. Only bid facilities in my home state.

I really like it! ZTL can be an animal but I enjoy the pace. The centers are built to train from scratch out the academy so I think anyone who applies themselves can make it. The ERAM equipment we have makes entries not so bad. Enough repetition and the typing comes second nature
