  2. Interested in Airforce...questions

    When I went through COT and NTP my family (husband and 2 kids) did just fine. I was in AZ and they were in SC. They came to the COT graduation and they drove back to SC as I continued on to AZ. So from Jan-Apr we were separated. It's upsetting for th...
  3. NTP in Scottsdale, AZ

    You'll stay at a hotel. You'll have a roommate but they are little apartments so separate rooms with your own bathroom, full kitchen and living room. I drove from COT to AZ with no problems. It took like 2 days. I would recommend bringing your car bu...
  4. NTP in Scottsdale, AZ

    I completed NTP in Scottsdale which was amazing! To answer your questions, it would depend on your instructors. Technically you are not supposed to leave the state without being on leave and you are in a training environment so taking extra days off ...
  5. Need some advice

    To answer your question about your paperwork stating reserve, you are considered a reservist until your EAD date which is the first day of COT.
  6. Commissioning with prior service ! HELP

    Not even close to medical….I was security forces! Which I wouldn't trade my experience for anything! Like I said the board is very subjective, let's say you have 300 applicants and 3 members on the board. They will each get 100 packages and rate th...

  9. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    There are only 4 bases that have the NTP program, unless you are referring to NRP which is the year long "training" program for new grads which is after NTP. You can either go to San Antonio, TX, Scottsdale, AZ, Cincinnati, OH or Tampa, FL. The list ...
  10. Air force COT March 30 2015

    Yes that's it! I purchased them from this website Nike Sage Green SFB Boots | Nike Air Force USAF Special Field Boots Just to get an idea for sizing as far as women, I am a 7.5 -8 in women and I wear a 6 in these boots. My husband says they are true ...
  11. Air force COT March 30 2015

    To reiterate what jfratian said, get your uniforms ahead of time with everything sewn on and definitely get your blues tailored before too. I saw many people, women mainly, that ended up with huge uniforms because they ran out of their size. I would ...
  12. Applying to a New Nurse Transition program

    I started talking with my recruiter the beginning of my senior year. Keep in mind that all the paperwork that needs to be completed (including recommendations) cannot be dated more then 6 months before the board meets. So my recruiter gave me all the...

  15. Air force nursing cot august 2014

    The internet is almost nonexistent and everything you do will require internet so I would recommend bringing a hotspot/mifi of some sort. The staff is aware but apparently it has been like that for previous COT classes.
