Any AF January COT hopefuls out there?

I know my husband is hoping to get into the January class too. All of his paperwork is completed and he went to MEPS

I am also waiting. I was told that the board meets this Monday.. September 21, 2009. I am a bit concerned seeing that the next meetings are scheduled monthly- previously they were bi-weekly.

I have been in contact with my recruiter since 9/08. Shortly after, I enrolled in school and I have graduated with my BSN and have applied MONTHS before graduating (February 2009)... This has been a long drawn out process and I hope to be finally selected. I did the whole MEPS processing and even had a waiver meet/pass @ the SGO. My recruiter tells me 9/21 is the day they will review.. Anyone else know different?

i was told the board for RN packet review doesn't meet until nov 11 and decides by nov 20...

That would suck. I have already changed my COT date and to my dismay pushed it to Jan. I hope that this will not push my COT date back again... But who knows! Also, it takes THAT long for them to decide?


On another note... Does anyone know how they determine grade/pay?

hey SummervilleRN-

your recruiter should have gone over all the grade/pay with you when you completed your packet (when s/he had you sign stuff like how much your monthly pay is, your housing stipend...etc.). you might want to talk to your recruiter again because that information is contained in your packet that goes to the board. this is true at least for a new grad recruit like me. i don't know about others who already have experience.

Yes, Ma'am you're correct.. They did go over my pay at that time, however I will have a years more experience to add to my resume and was told that there is a possibility of "sewing on additional rank" in 6mos...

Officers don't sew on rank. We pin on bars.

When I was enlisted we "sewed on" our stripes - "sewing" is an enlisted term.

AFPC will go over your experience from your date of licensure and will give you 1/2 credit for the total time. I have nineteen months experience and have nine months time in grade as a 2nd Lt. 12 months' experience equates to six months for the Air Force - which will indeed mean you'll put on your next rank that much sooner.

SummervilleRN...my recruiter told me the "Release date" for this board is Sept. 28th, but that it could take up to 10 days after that to hear anything. Good luck to you!!

I'm waiting for January COT too. My story-14 years (combination of Reserve and Active) Army Combat Medic, Desert Storm Vet, Ambulance Driver, Medic, Expert Field Medical Badge winner, LPN, then got out to move with my man and go to school to get my ADRN, then RN/BSN from University of Delaware. Worked at all sorts of levels in Army from small units, Med Battalion, field hospital, general hospital to regional hospital, then as a civilian worked long term health care and now work as RN at local hospital on Med/Surg floor for the past 2 years. I graduated from University of Delaware and was invited into Sigma Theta Tau as a Nurse Leader. I started my Air Force application process 18 months ago. 1st recruiter rotated out of recruiting, 2nd recruiter was relieved for a legal problem, 3rd recruiter put it all together and it just went in 3 weeks ago. It has cleared his desk, the health professionals flight chief desk, QA at Rendolph AFB and is on Colonel Moore's desk now for the last week. I will go in as a 2nd Lt, 46N3/1E. I love bed-side nursing on the Med/Surge level the very best. I served in Desert Storm at Landstuhl Hospital in Germany and really have an affinity for our wounded warriors. I want to help them in their worst hours and days when they really need the care of another. I've asked for Landstuhl as my first choice and Italy as my second, then a series of southern AFB's with hospitals next. Big Hospitals are for me. I'm married and have no kids. I'm fluent in German and spek Italian. I was raised in an AF family in Germany. My Gand Dad was a WWII Army Air Corps Vet and my Dad is a retired AF vet of Viet Nam era. My Husband is a Retire Marine. I can't wait!!!!!

Thank you for being kind!

I was called yesterday 9/21/09 by Col. Moore... Sounds as though the board did meet and are continuing with the selection process... After selections the eligible are sent to folks who do the assignments from there the recruiter is told via email/computer...........Best of Wishes and GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!!
