Countdown to May COT...

May COT is quickly approaching. I know of only 3 of us here who are in. Who else is going?

I still haven't commissioned, should be soon obviously.

I can't get on base to get all my uniforms, but I have a friend who can take me to do it. Does everyone have their stuff?

As I organize to close up my house for my renter, I am stressing about it getting moved before I leave for COT. I can't get to TMO before my orders.... kind of freaking out about that. I know I can have someone else do it for me, but it would have to be a friend, as I have no family here.

So many questions and lists in my head!

I'm out running to make sure I can keep up once I get there; it's a great stress killer.

I wish I were going in May. I'm in August. But all things happen for a reason and this will be a summer to enjoy and improve my run time. Can't wait to hear from you when it's all done. Good luck! :coollook:

Hi Monica,I am going in May. I just joined the site today. But I was commissioned in feb. Waiting for them to have my name in the system so that I can go have my ID done which will enable me to go purchase my uniform. I am glad that I am meeting someone before I even get there. send me an email or something let me know if you are on FB. but on my side things are going well. I have been patient.

In preperation, I try to run every other day as it is posted on Military.com. I HATE running, but I am doing it just so that I can pass my first time doing the test and move on.

Congrats!! It is getting exciting.

I'm out running too. I have never liked running. I can do step aerobics or kickboxing for an hour and love it, but running for 20 minutes just annoys me. It's a mindset thing. I'm trying to convince myself I love running. :) I'm going about 2.5 miles at least 3 times a week. I still go to the gym too, since I love my friends there and the environment.

I'm hoping to commission this week, but it will probably not happen yet. No worries. It'll all get done.

i'm getting a briefing from my recruiter this thursday at which time i will also get my ID, sign up for the military credit card, and get my uniforms. i'll tell you all about it on thursday when i get back from the base.

i try to do any cardio exercise besides just running. running does get boring unless you have company...which makes a total difference!

I'm so excited for you MT! You already have your commission, now you get your uniforms and card....

How come I'm not so ahead of the game?!! lol.

look me up on facebook as e-mail midinphx @ yahoo

My running partner is my dog. He's loving it. When I'm wanting to quit and walk I talk to him and act like he wants to quit and cheer him on. :)

i just started a facebook page!! i'll message you my email so you can add me.

I just got my orders in this morning. Can i use this to obtain and ID card? anyone know?

I get my commission this week! I told them I'm available Thursday or Friday so he's checking when the colonel I interviewed with is available. I sure hope my orders are right behind that so I can set up TMO. I'm clearing out my house like crazy. I need to have it cleared out for renters before I leave.

Woo hoooo! This commission has been a long time coming! :D

congratulations midinphx! it has been a long time coming but well worth it.

as far as getting your ID, i think when you go to an air force base to get your uniforms, then that's when they issue it because you have the option of opening up a military credit card to pay for stuff you need (up to $500 no interest). i'll let you know on thursday after i get back from travis.
