Air Force Cot Program

Published

Are there any nurses out there that has recently gone through the commissioning program? If so how was it? What it physically demanding? The reason why I am asking is because I have a knee injury and can't really run all that well...I need to try and find out if I can possibly have a waiver and still go to cot as a nurse....

Thanks in advance for any inputs

Hmmm... doesn't sound good... bad knee? If its a problem they'll weed you out during your physical, or you'll get a waiver. That being said, here is the info for COT:

go to this site: ots.maxwell.af.mil

most of your answers are there.... plus a few surprises (to me anyways) about what to expect

Thanks. I have been to the afots site several times. I am currently active duty and I am on a waiver but I just don't know if they will take me as an officer with the same problem. And I would hate to go back to my original career field with a bachelors in nursing :rolleyes: I definately don't want to do that but my dilemma is that by the time I get out I will have 12 years in. I feel like that is such a waste. I am praying and hoping that there is a waiver. Well I graduate in 07 and am working on strengthing my knee and doing whatever I can maybe it will pan out and work for me for the 23 days at cot:roll

Sounds like you're doing what you can. Ever seen a PT? Maybe some therapy could help.

Good luck with that!

Yes I have been to PT and I have had surgery on the knee. I think I am just falling apart :rolleyes:
