   mommy3k replied to JazzyT's topic in Government

   Thanks Gen. Guess what? My recruiter called today. Not super good news, but not bad either. He said he heard a rumor (just a rumor at this point) that they are trying to get additional funds re-allocated for NTP candidates since they had to turn ...

2. Some bad news...

   mommy3k replied to JazzyT's topic in Government

   Well, my recruiter just called and said I was non-select. However, he qualified that with something about they are trying to get it changed because of extenuating circumstances, and not to give up hope just yet. Not sure what to think. Has anyone...

   mommy3k replied to JazzyT's topic in Government

   Thank you for the well-wishes Jazzy. I'll be sure to post when I find out-either way. About the bonus and LRP, I think they're the same, regardless of experience. However, you could come in with rank (1Lt maybe), and may not need to do the NTP at all...

   mommy3k replied to JazzyT's topic in Government

   Sorry to hear you didn't make it this time Jazzy. I was non-select last time (for very different reasons), so I know how you must feel. I'm still waiting to hear this time around. It is so nerve-wracking. Thanks for leting us know, and for sharin...

7. Great interview!

   mommy3k replied to mommy3k's topic in Government

   Thanks TraumaRUs! It is good to hear from someone with experience. Why? I have wanted to do this forever. I did AF junior ROTC for 4 years in high school, and then 2 years in college with Army ROTC. Met a guy (now my hubby) and decided that having fu...

   mommy3k posted a topic in Government

   Hi everyone! I just wanted to share about the interview I had with the CNO at the Air Force hospital I visited yesterday. The day started with me being sick (respiratory/cold from hell) and my DD needing me to stop at the store for "candy for her loc...

   mommy3k replied to mommy3k's topic in Government

   Thanks Gen! I will be 40 on January 19th. Hopefully, I will make weight before then! Believe it or not, I actually passed this physical about 21 years ago. I don't remember all the details though, and I'm sure it has changed over the years. I am a w...

10. Questions: MEPS and Interview (AF)

    mommy3k posted a topic in Government

    Hello everyone. Well, it has been four months since I began talking to recruiters and I have yet to go to MEPS. I have been hovering too close to the max weight, so have postponed twice. The recruiter and I have decided that I will call him the momen...

    mommy3k replied to mommy3k's topic in Government

    Thanks for the comments and advice! My husband and I are meeting with both AF and Army recruiters next week. What would you request/require if you were a professional considering joining at my stage of life (mom, 3 kids, husband, 39 years old, etc.)...
