   theflashbang replied to linds28's topic in Government

   So, on the COT website it recommends buying boots and low quarters before COT in order to break them in. I didn't see any information regarding which brand or style of boot to get aside from them being Sage Green. Is it safe to assume then that any S...

   I received an email today from my recruiter that as of today the only specialty elligible for a bonus is OR nurses due to budget issues. Therefore, there is now only the option for loan repayment.

   My recruiter told me today that the reason they don't mention the ISP is because that is something that is covered by someone at our first base... not sure what to think about that response.

    theflashbang replied to morgan_porgan's topic in Government

    So, I have heard about pay to be certified but I couldn't find anything spelled out the way you have it. This was all I could find. It just references the RN bonus. It is possible that we could qualify for the Non-physicians certification pay but I h...

    I posted in the other thread as well but found out this morning I'll be joining you all in May and then on to Fort Belvoir. Wasn't even on my list, but hey, it will be good! I've got buddies in the DC area.

    I'll be joining you all at COT in May and then will be heading on to Fort Belvoir for critical care! Kind of surprised I'm not going to Texas, actually.

    Brughm, I will have one year of critical care experience this November, with six months experience in the OR. Currently TNCC qualified and may get CCRN soon. I have a BSN, my recruiter said GPA is one they weigh heavy on but who knows.

    I just found out unofficially that I was selected! I was told they have to get the legal work and assignments made before the release the official results. I know of a COT date 11 January and 28 March but I don't know yet which I'll be at.
