AF COT/NTP Questions/Answers

[Camo-angel]

Hey guys, been a bit since I was on here. I'm about done with COT, then off to NTP at Tampa, FL. I'll be stationed at SAMMC afterwards. I thought I'd start a new thread for people to ask questions specifically about COT/NTP because in the last year things have been changing in COT. They have been trying to make it as similar to BOT as possible, which means it's a bit harder and stricter. Definitely no maids for our rooms, no civilian clothes basically ever, and of course lots of yelling and demerits. So fire away, I'll do my best to answer questions, along with the others who know what COT is like right now!!

JF-did you have to spend like 3000$ at COT for uniforms etc?

Camo-angel BSN, RN,

I am in the process of applying to the NTP. My first choice is SAMMC, and I see that you are there. I tried to PM you, but it would not allow me to. Is there a way you can message me? I am interested in hearing about your experience and how you like San Antonio.

Respectfully,

Kim

I just went through COT in Jan/Feb and will be stationed at SAMMC also. I'm just finishing up NTP. Feel free to PM me if you have questions!

Hi kminak- can I on you too?

Kminak,

I am a brand new member, so I am not allowed to initiate a PM until I have a certain number of posts. Is there any way that you might be able to send me a PM? Thank you! :)

If bought everything new and it was around $1800; they give you about $400 as a one time payment for new officers towards the purchase of these new uniforms. You likely won't get paid for the first 2 months due to how terrible defense finance (DFAS) is is, so keep that in mind.

[kminak]

Just did!
