  1. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    WOAH! So I see you said your info came in an email. So that didn't come from your recruiter? They called my husband but today the recruiter told me I could very well know before him if they send me an...

  2. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    For anyone who hasn't checked this page out, it has a ton of direct from the AF resources including the class dates and an OTS Welcome Guide (it is subject to change and changes every so often but it...

  3. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    When hubs did this last year, we found out acceptance, then later found out leaving date, then later found out base, then barely before he left he got orders. But yes, it all has to be on the...

  4. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    Yuk. Is the quarantine because you're coming from overseas? Or did they tell you all OTS people have to do

  5. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    Hey all. Got the call too. There are already FB Groups for the Jan and Feb classes (I didn't check past that) so if you search Air Force OTS Class 21-02 for Jan and 21-03 for Feb you can jump in the...

  6. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    All the forums I read from years past when the hubs applied and all the nurses we know around here all said their results were "delayed" and most were in the 6-8 week post board review before they...

  7. Air Force nursing FY2021

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to tabmeechie's topic in Government, Military

    Hey folks. Hadn't joined the party til now, but figured now's as fine a time as any. Applying for ED spot. Don't want to be the party pooper but also hate folks to feel like they're being strung...

  8. Military Options for Nursing Students

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Fisch161's topic in Government, Military

    It's my understanding that here are no options to join as a nurse while you're in school. If you try to join, even the reserve/guard, they'll try to recruit you as an enlisted medical "tech" of sorts...

  9. Calling all present and former military nurses

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to caughtupinthismoment's topic in Government, Military

    Hubby is the military one and I'm only just in the process but I'd say it depends on a lot of factors. Different branches will affect that, as well as your own personality. As mentioned, some adjust...

  10. Too old?

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Government, Military

    for Active Duty Air Force it's like 46 before you need a wavier and I want to say more like 49 or 50 for reserves before you need a wavier. Hubby commissioned as and ED nurse at age 36 and I'm in the...

  11. Looking For Air Force Nursing Information

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to bekah2232's topic in Government, Military

    I had the exact same concern when I first spoke with a recruiter years ago (before I had my BSN and was actually ready to join but trying to figure it all out). You apply for and are selected for...

  12. Looking For Air Force Nursing Information

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to bekah2232's topic in Government, Military

    Yes. As jfratain said, it's not all just "flight nursing". I'm going to break it down a bit and I apologize if you already know any of this, but if you don't know it, this will help it all make a bit...

  13. Looking For Air Force Nursing Information

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to bekah2232's topic in Government, Military

    Sounds like it really depends on your end goal and how quick you want to get there. Also, think of what type of "flight nurse" you want to be. The AF has a general "flight nurse" like jfratain spoke...

  14. Air Force initial rank

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to djmatte's topic in Government, Military

    While it looks like you have already gotten your answer on the rank and such, but I do want to give a giant warning on the likelihood that your pay situation and all of your personnel records could be...

  15. Joining AD after college as a 66T/ER nurse???

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to alprice2's topic in Government, Military

    Definitely ask allllll the questions and even ask to see things in writing. My husband’s recruiter has been amazing to tell us when he doesn’t know something. When we started asking for specifics,...

    Awesome. Thanks for the

  17. Air Force Nurse Rank Advancement and RB Q's

    Fly-T-Nurse posted a topic in Government, Military

    Couple of questions: 1: How do you rank up as you gain years of experience as a nurse in the AF? Back story: hubby has been a nurse for 3yrs as of tomorrow and leaves for COT in July. We know they...

  18. Air Force Nurse Rank Advancement and RB Q's

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Fly-T-Nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Ok thanks. We were hoping that’s how it would go. Would be nice to have the extra $ being that his first assignment is in California. Is it feasible to even get accepted to AFIT within a 6yr time...

  19. Joining AD after college as a 66T/ER nurse???

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to alprice2's topic in Government, Military

    I'm judging by your 66T/ER nurse title that you aren't trying to join the Air Force but I thought I'd offer up our experience with the AF in case it helps. Hubby is commissioning and heading for...

  20. Air Force FY 2019

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Jessica73's topic in Government, Military

    RhondaGayle if you end up staying in the August COT, my husband and one of the other posters on this feed are both going then. They have gotten in on the OTS 19-07 FB page and have found several other...

  21. Air Force FY 2019

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Jessica73's topic in Government, Military

    Also I should point out that the July 30 COT group on fb is actually listed as Air Force OTS 19-07 since it was created by a TFOT person and it’s a combined group. Lots of TFOT selectees but still a...

  22. Air Force FY 2019

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Jessica73's topic in Government, Military

    Cool. My husband is going July 30 and then we’re going to Travis. Have you guys gotten on the fb groups for your class yet? They have a ton of info and if you have a spouse there’s a spouses group...

  23. Where do you go after COT Air Force

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Ancilla11's topic in Government, Military

    Yay!!! We talked to the recruiter today and he said we should hear something about assignments any day now. Said he would let us know as soon as he hears. I’ve seen where other COT groups have...

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Ancilla11's topic in Government, Military

    Same to you. Nice to chat with someone in the same boat. It's all very exciting!! Fingers crossed you hear something soon!

  25. Where do you go after COT Air Force

    Fly-T-Nurse replied to Ancilla11's topic in Government, Military

    Well bummer. Maybe you’ll hear today. He is in the one for July 30. Looks like a combined one but also looks like COT breaks off a graduates while TFOT stays a few more weeks. Grad date recruiter...
