Dealing with the NEST and trying to get an idea of would could possibly be available
Yes, bottom 25% (rounded down) must select cat B, but they change basically every list. Cat C is for everyone else. If you score a 90+, you can select a Cat D which are lvl 8 facilities, but not all are offered and change list to list.

Does the discord thread have the entire list on there or only show what people are taking?
StealthChain said:Does the discord thread have the entire list on there or only show what people are taking?
It has the entire list. If you join the server, there is a channel called "class-lists" and it has the picture of the paper of which facilities they have. I used to post when the list was first released, but now I choose not to, because with the new lists list are like 8 pages long. That and people are kind enough to publish where they're going so that's more relevant now than listing practically every facility in the NAS.
As someone who hasn’t kept up with this new system for placing academy grads it sounds like people have the freedom to choose whatever facility they want. So in all likelihood, the less desirable 4,5,6’s will never see any new people again. Is this an accurate statement?

Not completely accurate. The Agency can still assign certain facilities as mandatory slots based upon staffing need.
For example, for one list they could say that ABE (random selection) is a required slot because they hit a certain metric. If there are no 90%'ers in the class, 1 graduate would be required to go to ABE while the rest had their pick of most of the 4-7's. It's slightly more complicated than that, but that's the jist.

If Natca isn’t selling out member seniority for contract tower votes they are sending new hires to highly desirous facilities. Just another blow to the (existing) workforce.

I just came back from San Diego visiting a high school buddy of mine, who the hell is fighting to get into SAN. Level 8 pay out there is basically poverty wages! Not sure you can even buy a condo out there with that, from what I saw. Thank f**k I've got my level 12 pay in the Chicagoland area, plus a wife that pulls in close to $100k and a paid off home... time to grab another beer and enjoy my Sunday off.

Yeah but you just unironically compared living in Chicago to San Diego. Priorities buddy

Outside of the weather, I'd choose the Chicagoland area 10/10 times. Lots of nice suburbs within a 20-30 minute commute to the Z, and the pay here goes quiet far.

You aren't wrong. SCT or MYF is where to go if you want to live in San Diego and make money. At least SEE is a pretty good "in" for those spots it seems if any AG's have it on their lists

I’m the new FACREP at FAY, it used to be a death sentence but that is no longer the case. It’s a perfect place now to start your career off. Quick efficient training, We should have you through in a year or less depending on yourself! We have bodies now to release through NCEPT, we’ve already let 3 go. It’s become the revolving door it’s supposed to be and we all want it to be. Any AG’s on here are more than welcome to send me a DM if you have questions about FAY.
