Air Force nursing FY2021

Published

Hello all,

I have looked all over this site in hopes of finding others that are getting their packets ready and are applying to the Air Force this fall. I have not found any recent threads on this.

I am applying for an ER spot. I have been a RN for 7 years and work in a Level II trauma emergency center. I have my MSN-Administrative Leadership and TCRN. Is there anyone out there that is also getting their packets ready for October boards? My recruiter told me that because of COVID everything has been pushed back and that boards will meet in October this year. He also told me that I would be going to MEPS and doing my medical in the next 3 weeks.

Just got the call from my recruiter. I got selected! Hopefully you guys will be getting calls soon!

As much as we are excited, we do have to give our recruiters a break. They are not just working with us 24/7. Like everyone else, we are just one of the many people the work with and then move on. So its good to stay on top, but lets not hound them to death. They are people too. Thank you

Has anyone heard when they are going to officer training? I was told January 5th which is so much quicker than expected

I was not on the list for Jan 5th. I was told I’d probably go February 21st (I believe that was the date). 
Your can let all of us know that aren’t going then what to expect and what bring with us?

I was not given a date. My recruiter said it would probably take a while to get a date. ??‍♀️ I’m hoping for February or March but we shall see!!

I was told it might take a while to receive a date as well. My husband is also AD and they said joint spouses sometimes take longer to receive assignments. I hope it isn't too long though - I want to get this show on the road ?

Specializes in Intensive Care.

My recruiter also mentioned January 5th as a possibility, but told me it would be 2 more weeks until he would know for sure. Much quicker than I was anticipating as well. Does anyone want to create a facebook group so we can keep each other updated/etc prior to and after OTS?
