   This sucks. I'm sorry for everyone not selected.... I'm still waiting to hear myself and considering the odds, I'm more than likely a non select myself. I know I'm probably going to have to wait and see but I'm psyching myself for some bad news. Rnp...

   Rnpic, Im sure there are quite a few of us that are just as frustrated as you. We all have our loops we had to jump through to get to this point. The fact is, regardless of how we got here, we're all at the same point. It seems as much as you don't ...

   I have to agree with you, cross2blue. Were the same age and as much as l want to fulfill a lifelong dream, I can't imagine putting my family through this again. Procrastination is a hard lesson to learn when you're dreams are almost out of reach as a...

   I'm sorry rn1972, other than the limited slots, did he have any reason why you weren't selected? Can you apply again in the future? I truly believe things happen for a reason... Not that the timing would make it any easier to handle but I thought the...

   @dangerous...lol, You crack me up. Youre definitely living up to your name. As much as I want to do the same and tell some select peeps to f-off and burn bridges I don't want to cross back on, I was particularly careful not to do so for this reason. ...

   There's definitely nothing wrong with a plan B. Although i cant imagine myself in any other branch other than the AF for some reason. So im prepping my psych for anything to happen! But i guess better a pleasant surprise than bitter disappointment, ...

   "Her original post never said she was living outside the united states, it said she was Filipino. Also, her last post just said she's in Philadelphia." Phil. can be an abbreviation for many things like Philadelphia, Philippines, Philanthropy, Philos...

    STICU-ARNP replied to watchasay10's topic in Government

    I guess, in your case one major thing you'd have to be in order to join is, in the United States. I also don't believe there is a NLN accredited nursing program in the Philippines, you would have to get accepted into a MS program here accepting your ...

    STICU-ARNP replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government

    I think the best thing we can do for ourselves is to stretch and work on conditioning to avoid injury. As we prep for the PT, our conditioning should be up to par but unless you work out regularly prior to ever thinking of joining the military, we c...

    @Tina.... The last thing you want to do is look back and wonder "what if"!! I'm on the same boat, but 35... I've always wanted to join but life changes and procrastination always got in the way. I'm committed to the decision to join along with my fam...

    Thanks, rnpic! Is there an average wait? How far advance can we expect to have before being assigned a COT date? With a home, kids and family to think of, it's nerve racking trying to prepare for an unknown date. rnpic, I think I read in your prior p...

    What is the expected date to report to COT if you are selected in the November review? I know some drop out prior and one can report earlier than expected. But can the November selectees expect to have all reported by a certain time frame? I'm hopefu...
