I left my job a week before the date I had to start OTS. There will be online modules they’ll tell you be required to complete before arrival so I did those during that time. Other people showed up having not completed any of them but had time to complete them during our initial quarantine phase. Not sure how that works now though

Oh OK thanks! I’m halfway done with my MSN so that’s good news because I’m just going in as clinical nurse so not sure if they would let me take those other courses right away.

One of the ways you can meet the requirement for the retention bonus says having “Bachelors Plus”. Does that mean being working on your Master’s?

My recruiter told me he’s been doing this for five years and each year they’ve taken 35-40 clinical nurses but that’s all I know.

Recruiter sent me the booklet. I think its attached to this post but never tried before so let me know if it doesn’t show FY21 NC Pay Plan.pdf

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into this!

So he was able to get a retention bonus right away? That’s not just for people already in?

My recruiter just sent me paperwork for an accession bonus! Wasn’t expecting that at all

I thought 5 week too but recruiter said 8 week. Told me 5 week is just for dentists and doctors.

I looked up base housing for Keesler and for the application it says you can have a letter in lieu of orders for people who don’t have official orders yet so maybe that’s a thing at other bases too

Oh wow you are old! LOL jk. But yeah on the map it looks like a good area. The only info I’ve ever really heard was from when I was a young airmen from other young airmen who base everything off of how they liked the bars and strip clubs LOL

I put choose from either. I’ve heard people complain about the base and area but then again, everyone in the Air Force complains about every base, even bases I’ve liked so I’m sure it’ll be fine

Keesler MS

Got my assignment. It was my last choice but at least I now know

Recruiter called and told me I will find out today
