I am going straight to my base after COT and I would love to go to NTP. I have been a nurse for yrs but learning how to be "an AF nurse" would have be fantastic. Pymschrs you should contact a AF Healthcare Professional recruiter now. Many nurses do...

Can anyone tell me where the CBT are? ANd info on accessing. On the FB page a person put on about getting some testing done before call (saves 9 hrs) I tried to access the ADLS site and was told I needed a CAT card to access. ANyone know anything ...

Nice to heard from you agai Carolina....how are you? I'm gearing up for COT only about 40 days away....excited, thrilled and nervous! But it will be an excellent time and a very good learning experience.

The MEPS doc I had was about 70! WHen my husband was recruiting they had a doc at that MEPS called "Dr Death" he DQ'd more recruiters than anyone. ANd mind you most were perfectly fine. The uppers had a boat lot of complaints (from parents, recrui...

For the over 40 physical at MEPS I had to have a pap done within a yr, mamo within a yr, ekg with md signature within a month, eye pressure taken within a month and I want to say I sent lab work too. All of this was sent to my recruiter he submitted...

I turned my diet or should I say way of eatting around.....I am reading a book now by a DR Esselstyn about our eatting habits and what it does to our bady. Scarry. I haven't had any meat in a few days but sweets that another story! I LOVE them!! ...

I have not purchased a duffle bag yet. WE have several but they have various ranks and names of them . So I know I will need a new one. Do you like the lightweight one? I have yet to see it, I am use ot the old canvas ones. The whole concept of ...

My recruiter told me it was very common for people over 40 to have waivers. My BG that day was 101, I went out to eat. Thus I needed a waiver. Chol normally 175 but the day of the test 225! I freaked, again a waiver. Its a pain but hey they have ...

Me too with the packing! Figure I can have my husband send me stuff as soon as i get there but the big stuff I will have to bring the first day. My list keeps getting longer and heavier. I got a iron and ironing board cover, as I do not want to ru...

Don't worry about the page, it is not that active yet, but wait till we get closer to class time it will be busy. WE have 6 people now so that GREAT! I want to see what I can do while in for my masters. I hope its do-able but really don't want to b...

I have read somewhere in these blogs that it is okay to take certain meds' ie Synthroid, But am not sure. Fainting could have been anyhting, low BS etc. As long as you have the med docs and it shows no other medical dx I would expect you will be o...

Jennifer is the adm and I do not think she gets on much. Will ask her about it. I go on daily, it helps me to track my kids and husband....too funny at times but I do watch waht I write. You can never be TOO careful!

Just want to remind these that have not already joined, there is a Facebook page. USAF COT 11-01. IF you are attending please look for us and join our group. Lets get to know each other before we head off to the most memorable 5 weeks in our lives...

I did the same thing. The information should be available from the recruiter or online. I want to say its a higher amount of yrs owed and lower bonus than that straight 4 yrs.

I plan to chop my hair off for COT, its at the in-between stage now; too short for a bun and too long to keep down. I cut it several months ago and my recruiter said it was good so I will do it for class, then let it grow some after COT. One thing...

I am going in as a Capt, was told I could try for Maj but not soild on it. I am not too concerned about it as either way I will get in. I did hear its abit more trouble to try for higher rank than Capt and I do not want to make any waves at this po...

You will do fine...I know trust me! I am in my 40's too and use to work nights and sleep the days away tillmy return shift. But then I got sick due to the horrible hours and I did a 180; took care of myself. Looked at what was going into my mouth ...

I want Lasik but I know its tough to get once you are in. The Navy does it at Bethesda and the Air Force in San Antonio. A friend of mine got it (USN) and it took him 3 yrs to get the OK. I have had my glasses for YEARS so it would be nice to get...

I got the same thing, with COT dates too but was offical in May for Jan 11 then afew weeks ago got Oct!! My process has thus far been since last July and it has been unbelievable! My husband was a USN recruiter and his job was nothing like this. I ...

I asked Carolina the same question several weeks ago. I have a nice Omega my husband got me for our anniversary afew yrs ago and was concerned about it getting damaged. She advised me to get a cheap one with a stop watch. Picked it up at work in ...

I just got a email from my old recruiter (he is now stationed at Randolph HQ for recruiting) he told me once I get my orders form my present recruiter I am set to go; no going back to MEPS. Thank goodness I felt like a grandmother (which I am...LO...

I have decided to drive to COT, then drive back with my family as far as Dover, DE. From there we can visit with my son and his family and after my husband and daughters can head back to Maine. Oh my duty station is Andrews AFB, so I am only 90 mil...

Thank goodness I am not the only one...lol! I knew this would be a VERY long process and I did not want others to keep asking "when, when". I try to keep things to myself till I am 100% and even then till its completed. I did not want the negative...

Check with your recruiters to see if you are on the "congressional scrolls", don'tknow what it really means but its the ability to be commissioned. After that checks out your recruiter needs the date of commissioning ( your pick), name of person doi...

What a small world! I was commissioned last month. A friend of mine (nurse at work) is a retired Navy Capt (0-6), I asked him to do it. Sort of funny as he was working at the time so we did it at the ICU family room in scrubs. My husband was ther...
