Not sure if someone has started a thread for this Class. If there is one already, please send me a link for it. I thought we should have a threat to prepare people who made it to this class. Any input from the other guys that we started this long journey with would be appreciated. Thank you.

Swore in on 4/24. I was told my order should follow in a month.

Guys, is it true that you need a gpa 3.4 or higher to join the Air-Force Nurse Corps. I spoke to a healthcare recruiter today, he told me I need a 3.4 gpa. I have a 3.2, :down: I am not smart like most of you guys.

I work hard in school. I guess I have to do better in RN-BSN program and graduate with a 3.4 gpa. I can do it. I will try to get the ACLS certificate as well.:sarcastic:

Finally have my security clearance back! I'll be completing my oath via notary public sometime next week. I've been trying to get an answer about my constructive credit for months now but my recruiter keeps deflecting.

Question: Has anyone else had difficulties regarding constructive credit? My recruiter said he can't give me any paperwork until I schedule my oath. But he seems to want this done ASAP and I'm worried that there will be errors regarding my credit (I've been giving different info from my two different recruiters).

Your constructive credit will be on the forms. Just don't sign them unless they're right. Don't take the oath unless the paperwork is right. You want that credit because, even if you don't get enough for 1st LT, you will still promote to 1st LT before the new grads.

I definitely plan to follow that advice. Thank you for the response.

I just bought me a one-mug coffee maker today after reading a post here :) I wish our orders were in already! I am hesitant with making significant moves without the orders. I like the idea of reporting in a group.
