   Recruiter got me a better number than just the TMO number and the lady had my plane ticket booked within just a few minutes! Now she's sending me an itinerary with an email address to send my orders to whenever they decide to show up LOL.

   Well, since I'm coming from and returning to California, I'll be flying LOL. The "required" amount of travel days from here to there is 7 meaning according to the military and their required rules for how many miles/hours you can drive in a day, it s...

   @Trigirl80 congrats! It's exciting to finally get some more info!! @djmatte for what it's worth, I know Beale is a tiny base and Lackland is a big base (you may already know that but just in case). IDK anything about the 3rd one LOL. Good luck i...

   @scnurse2019 Oh no! That SUCKS!! How does that affect you while you're there? Will you have to stay longer or stop and go into the next class?? I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that.

   @djmatte Congrats!! Sounds like a crazy process for you. The class dates are posted on the Maxwell Air Force Base official OTS website but I do know that the Feb class date is pushed back a week from what is listed on that site. IDK if that happened ...

   That's a bummer. Yea, I would just stay on them and make sure you don't need to do any other paperwork. I mean, they technically have until Oct to get you in LOL but I wouldn't think they would be holding out that long. @aferg002 that so...

   @Trigirl80 did you get your class date?? @scnurse2019 hope all is going well! As for me, I'm just over here waiting on orders, trying to study up, and trying to get as much stuff lined up for the fam as I can to make their lives a little ...

   @Sarm19 I hope the trip went well and that you're rockin' out the quarantining ? Also, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that those Jan class folks are all ready! ?

   Yes. Prior/non-prior has nothing to do with it. It's just a matter of meeting the requirements with a board certification and then one of the other things from the list (in that document). I, too, thought that "retention bonus" would mean after you'v...

    @Peter RN I have no clue what a bachelor's plus is LOL. The retention bonus really won't get settled until you get to your base because your chief nurse will have to sign off on it so if your recruiter or Google can't answer it, I would just have all...

    @Peter RN YES that is it! I thought it was year specific. It takes a hot minute to read and I had to read it slow and then re-read some of it LOL but it lays it all out there. It let me download it. Bummer that the ED isn't the $35k/yr for 6 right no...

    Happy to help. I am an "ask alllllll the questions type person," so you can imagine how much I'm sure my husband's recruiter loved me LOL. He was actually really great and when he couldn't fully answer all of my questions when it came to the bonuses,...

    @hlwilder I think some of the dates were adjusted but not fixed on the OTS Website just yet. The Feb class still says Feb 16th but is actually 23rd. I think the WINGS email will be your best bet on what's official. I just got mine today and it had th...

    Yes. It's weird but it starts and you are basically paid up front. As soon as you meet the requirements, you can fill out the paperwork and get started. So you get paid the bonus and then owe the year, get paid and then owe the year, etc....but colle...

    @Sarm19 Oh yea. There apparently is almost always some sort of bonus for ED. It's just a matter of if they are capping it at the 4 yrs or the 6 yrs (some years they won't offer the $36k/yr up to 6yrs but the $20k/yr for 4yrs seems to pretty much alwa...
