Is anyone else on here applying for FY 2015 for Air Force? I'm in the process of applying for the selection board in October 2014 and it would be great to hear from someone else also applying for the end of this year! :)

Would anyone recommend a recruiter in the Southeast? My closest is in New Orleans, and I plan on e-mailing, but I am also weary of recruiters who lie or don't disclose certain pieces of information. If anyone is really happy with theirs and is willing to PM me, please do! tY!
It depends on your alternate number. If you're #1 or 2, then you have a decent chance. Otherwise, I'd say next to none. Your recruiter will know your alternate number.If you put Anchorage, on your list you'll be very likely to get it. Your chances of getting Italy or Germany off the bat are fairly slim.

How about CO? Is that tough to get first time around?

The chances of being stationed at the AF Academy clinic in Colorado for your first assignment? It's zero. If you're a new grad, it's an NTP requirement that you have to be stationed at a hospital for your first assignment. A co-worker who used to work for AF nursing personnel told me nurses who have at least 4 years full-time civilian RN experience can be stationed at clinics for their first assignment. They would have a small chance of getting Colorado.
The closest you can get is probably Travis (CA) or Nellis (NV) as a new grad.
Thank you!
I am reading that the NTP is for nurses with less than 6 mos experience. However, I was recently hired into my first nursing position. I am wondering if I start the paperwork now (assuming I can get a call back from a recruiter), if it's something that will be done within 6 months or later than? If later than, say 9 months, will I still be required to do NTP?
I'm not really clear on when to apply and when boards meet and how often. I see on a thread that boards are meeting soon and applications are due by the end of the month, but that is not enough time for me to gather everything.
Do officers receive the GI Bill upon separating? Someone mentioned to me that this is only for enlisted.

Just for sh*ts and giggles, and I know the circumstances are TOTALLY 100% different, when I was in the Army, my first duty station was a clinic at West Point☺

"Someone" is completely wrong. I started using my GI Bill as an O-3/Captain in the Army. I just left active duty last month, still using the GI Bill. :) I was never enlisted.
