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

    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...

    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...

    @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...

    @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

    @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...

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

    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...

    @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...

    @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!

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

    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,...

    @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...

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

    @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....

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

    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...

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

    @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...

  14. Air Force nursing FY2021

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

    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...

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

    @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...

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

    I found out my assignment when they called and gave me my OTS date about a week and a half ago. But for whatever reason, it all seems different for everyone. Several people have known for weeks and I...

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

    Just in case, ask your recruiter about accession v/s retention bonus because depending on your specialties and depending on "the need", sometime the retention bonus is way better and if I remember...

    Dang girl! They have you some all kind of messed up!! That's crazy!! I do know that even though my husband found out he was selected sometime in late March, he didn't have orders until like 4 or 5...

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

    So, first things first. Found out I'm in the Feb class today and my assignment is as expected here where my husband is so that's good LOL. Next, there are too many things to quote for a response...

    For what it's worth, hubs was stationed there per-hurricane Katrina (we're old LOL) when he was enlisted and it's not THAT bad LOL. The hospital was pretty big and the base itself was nice. You aren't...

  21. Air Force nursing FY2021

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

    So the way that's generally done is you are allowed "travel days" between OTS and your first assignment base based on where it is and how you plan to travel. Ex: if your assignment is California and...

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

    Mine has been urgently getting me to get security checks, signed forms, etc... all turned in the past 2 weeks-even overnighted my finger print cards to me since I was out of town, but he keeps...

    Nope. Don't have an OTS date yet either

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

    Congrats on the selection. I can't speak for the rest of the stuff but on the uniforms, some people just won't have access or the ability to get uniforms and such, but if you have access to a base...

    It's amazing what they can pull off in 3 weeks (or less) when they have
