   I believe the cutoff age for a nurse is around 46, so you have plenty of time regarding that. I didn't do the loan repayment option, but there is one and I am not sure if it has a limit, but the sign on bonus for me was $25,000. there is the option...

2. Leave time after COT

   smarttyone replied to PRicanRN's topic in Government

   Wow, I am suprised they are only giving you 3 days to get back to Texas after COT. I will give you an example, on my orders it said I had 17 days to report, however I had to read the small print on the back very carefully to notice that I actually o...

4. Leave time after COT

   smarttyone replied to PRicanRN's topic in Government

   I just graduated COT at the end of June. I got 7 days to get from Maxwell to Travis in California. Those 7 days are "free", as they don't count against your leave. If you go over that you are permitted 10 more days, but then you are charged leave,...

   I know this is kind of off the subject, but I am trying to break in my boots a bit before I got to COT, and my right boot is putting a lot of pressure on my inside ankle when I walk. Any advice? The left boot is just fine, it is just the one spot o...

9. Off to COT

   I have my summer BDU's with the name tapes sewn all already, but I will be getting all the other uniforms there at COT. Kirtland AFB, where I am close to now is pretty bad for uniforms, they are out of everything. How much civillian clothes do I ne...

    smarttyone replied to smarttyone's topic in Government

    thank you to everyone for your replies, it helps a lot to hear advice from people who have been there and done it. I have a possibly stupid question though. As far as uniforms go, I know they said they have laundry facilities available for our use ...

    Well I am in my last weekend as a civillian! I leave for COT on Tuesday morning. Any advice for me from those who came in comissioned officers? After COT I will be at Travis AFB in California. People keep asking me if I am nervous, and I am not a...
