No idea what irr is but that sucks! But isn't the board already reviewing/have reviewed your app? So even if your app has to be placed on hold temporarily, hopefully that doesn't affect the results! Anyone heard anything from their recruiters about results (when, when, wheeen) or nah?

Estimated and I stress the ESTIMATED release date on the 14th. I wish yall much luck in the coming days!

Sent you a PM!

I won't disclose location but I simply did a google search for the answers and anything I didn't know/couldn't answer fully I asked my interviewer. So long as you did your research and show a willingness to learn, you'll be fine!

I know right!! I applied for clinical nursing last board and got flat out rejected and it’s now all filled up according to my recruiter but she says they still need mental health RN so to reapply for next board specifically for it! 2nd time applying AND in my specialty, I feel super hopeful!!!

You def need an appt. I showed up at meps on a date my recruiter told me to go but when I showed up I was told I wasn’t on the list and couldn’t process. I was told if I was enlisted I could get away with a walk in but officers needed an appt. I had my meps scheduled by the navy. They were so responsive meanwhile my AF recruiter at the time took months to reply back and if left up to her, I probs would have mep scheduled .... never. Or in the year 2025.

Yeah sometimes the docs in meps can be a bit of a douche. My doc wasn’t exactly all sparkles and rainbows, failed meps my first time and the doc wasn’t very kind about it ? Did you check with your recruiter about remaining clinical nursing spots? I was told clinical nursing have all been filled out from last board and numbers for FY21 will come out sometime in March. Interview with chief nurse was a breeze! More like a conversation. Your recruiter should give you some tips for the interview, if not ask! Be able to answer why AF, the mission, role in national defense, what makes them dif from the other branches, AF deployment mission, etc.

Welcome! And yup, got MEPS done last summer. I went through the waiting game last board, so hoping 2nd time is easier. Thankfully I don't have to wait until next Sept to reapply so I'm grateful.

2nd attempt, welp. At least my application - for the most part - stays the same.

SoOoOoOoOoOo my AF recruiter got back to me today and said I can reapply for the Jan boards. Imma go for it. I ain't going anywhere, huzzah.

Hey I'll give my 2 cents since I've went/going through the process for both AF and Navy. Make sure you're in a specialty you enjoy. Yes, Navy love them dat ICU experience, but do it because you want to, not because it'll make you more competitive. Yes do everything you can now and now. You can even do MEPS before you start your nursing job, so whatever you can do - docs, MEPS, etc, do it now. Advice for working w/ recruiters - patience. My first AF recruiter was.... lord. She stressed me out so bad with how... BAD she was for her carelessness and lack of reliability and responsiveness. Kept losing my paperwork, didn't mention deadlines until the last possible minute, replies back once a month if EVEN. She PCS'd out of no where and didn't tell me after weeks and weeks of constant emails and calls on my end that she wasn't my recruiter anymore. UH. THANKS? WISHED YOU TOLD ME BEFORE YOU LEFT? Thankfully the new recruiter is a billion times better. And thankfully the navy recruiter(s) (both my old one and the new one) are amazing. Completely different experience from the AF. With the AF, I felt like I had to beg my recruiter for info or updates. The navy was like, come here dear child. The only reason why I was able to submit to the AF on time was because I did MEPS through the navy. I was rejected from the AF this past board (though my recruiter is telling me to try again next Aug) but I'm going to try my luck w/ the Navy's Jan board and compete for the spots that's barely left (inner cry). Everyone's experience is different but applying for the AF was stressful as heck and it's 99.999999999% thanks to my awful recruiter. Hurry up and wait is real. I thought it was just a saying. It's real. I'm happy to help however I can. I'll have a year of RN experience in Jan though not in ICU. Personally, I can't w/ critical care. Nope.

Thanks!! Imma soak in this feeling of failure for a little bit (what was wrong with my application, sob) and start fresh tomorrow. Here's to another year...... I guess no news of OTS date? If I was selected, I would be ready to go asap. Hopefully y'all don't have to wait long to head to training.

Anyone know if there’s any med surg or psych quotas left for FY20 for those applying for Jan/Feb boards?

Did they tell yall when you’re going to TFOT/OTS or just you were selected? Just so I know if they want you to start Feb vs June, timing wise. Less than a yr experience. I is noob with a non-critical care specialty so that’s probs why AF was like nah to me. Oh well.

I thought I had a chance though! Not even waitlisted, just straight up not selected. Oh man, to wait another whole year I dunno how yall did it. When do you guys have OTS? Did they tell you your duty station as well?
