  1. MED/SURG v.s OB for AF Nursing?

    The Little Greek replied to Schleppy's topic in Government, Military

    How many deliveries are planned for Oct and Nov, do you know? I am leaving here in Sept and that is our peak month--140! That's HUGE for LAFB! Looks like I'm not gonna get a

  2. MED/SURG v.s OB for AF Nursing?

    The Little Greek replied to Schleppy's topic in Government, Military

    My RNLTD is 29 October and my final out here at LAFB is 9 Oct. I'm going to be in Alaska early next week for a few days to look for a home. I think I'm going to buy but I'm not 100% sure yet. Looking...

  3. MED/SURG v.s OB for AF Nursing?

    The Little Greek replied to Schleppy's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an OB nurse in the AF, currently stationed at Langley AFB in Hampton VA. I came into the AF with OB experience and it's an area I hope to stay in. That's not the case for everyone though. I work...

  4. Tattoos and the Military

    The Little Greek replied to stardogdaisy's topic in Government, Military

    Per the AFI (air force instruction) tattoos may not cover more than 25% of your exposed body part. I have 1/2 sleeves on both arms and I have a tattoo that is 1/2 of my back. I am a Capt in the AF and...

  5. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    The Little Greek replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    I was in the same boat and, yes, they will pay those too. The only thing they said they wouldn't pay was my private loans---money is for Federal loans

  6. Air Force Student Loan Repayment (or lack thereof??)

    The Little Greek replied to SpookyCat's topic in Government, Military

    Kato10, I'm going to PM you my email address because I'd like to see the pdf to clarify this. I have just taken and passed my RNC exam and will be applying for the ISP (which I think is what you are...

  7. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    The Little Greek replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    Didn't make it to work the other day and have been slammed up on L&D for the past three shifts. Haven't forgotten about this, just need the time it's going to take to

  8. Water consumption at COT

    The Little Greek replied to mambojennifer's topic in Government, Military

    Being one of your sisters in the "constantly have to pee" category, let me be the first to give you a big hint on how to get around the three full glasses: fill them FULL of ice before you put the...

  9. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    The Little Greek replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    I have to go to work today to post June's schedule that I've been working on for a month straight--not bitter! While I'm there I'll look for where I found it. It was hidden somewhere and it took lots...

  10. I know searching stinks, so if you have a COT question for 10-04....

    The Little Greek replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    From the sponsor perspective, let me say that sometimes we find out we are supposed to be someone's sponsor, we call the person and they are already at COT! I don't know how the notification process...

  11. I know searching stinks, so if you have a COT question for 10-04....

    The Little Greek replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    When you travel on the AF dime you should never have to pay the baggage fee. When you go to check in, tell them you are active duty then show your ID and/or orders and they will waive the fee on the...

  12. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    The Little Greek replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    You are correct, the ISP is for RNs that are currently serving. It's a retention bonus. If this had been in effect when I first commissioned I would have been better off taking only the $30K bonus,...

  13. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    The Little Greek replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    If you are in a "summer surge" class then it's highly probable that you won't need it at COT. I was in a May class and they wouldn't even let us LOOK at the mess dress. There were too many people and...

    Oh my goodness, Capt Rella is awesome!!!! (although he was Lt Rella when I was there) He's a wealth of knowledge and a really great guy. He's got some really great stories. Glad to hear he is still...

  15. I know searching stinks, so if you have a COT question for 10-04....

    The Little Greek replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I graduated in June and we had to wear it. It was soooo hot. We also got to participate in a change of command ceremony that required much practicing and lots of hours standing on the field in the...

  16. Question about AFI36-2903

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    I know, that's why I said we need to "resurrect" her. However, after giving it more thought, perhaps we need a new set of eyes to take a look at the pants. Preferably someone who knows that pleats on...

  17. Question about AFI36-2903

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    I think Maj Gen Jeanne Holm needs to resurrect and demand uniform modernization, because it's clear that the last time it happened was in 1965 when she oversaw the process! (For the record, the only...

  18. Vanity Questions- AF

    The Little Greek replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    I sure did try to get a little makeup on every day, but I attended COT in May and it was hotter than hell. By 0900 it had all dripped off so I just gave up. The one thing I can say is if you don't...

  19. Question about AFI36-2903

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    What pray-tell do you think is wrong with them??? LOL! Those pants are great! I look forward to working Mondays just so I can show them

  20. AF COT

    The Little Greek replied to AF42's topic in Government, Military

    AMEN SISTER!!!!!! I'm on a mission to single-handedly take out lazy. I know it's a losing battle, but maybe I'll convert a few people :) And when I say that I don't mean that I'm the most fit person...

  21. AF COT

    The Little Greek replied to AF42's topic in Government, Military

    I'll say this, we have mandatory PT that is held five times weekly so we have "no excuse" why we can't make it to one of the sessions. They PTLs are often uber fit cross-fit fanatics that make the...

  22. Countdown to May COT...

    The Little Greek replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the advice! I have a friend in the clinic so I'm hoping if I can't get anywhere with the folks at the desk that she will be able to help. I completely understand the whole board process if...

  23. Countdown to May COT...

    The Little Greek replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Most of the paperwork was easy to get accomplished. It's the 1466 (I believe that's it) that's a pain in the rear. I'm going to take it to the clinic to try and get it signed off on, however after...

  24. Countdown to May COT...

    The Little Greek replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Let me make you feel a little better....First, when I left for COT I literally got my orders one week before I had to leave. Okay, maybe that doesn't make you feel better but at least you know how...

  25. NTP bases??

    The Little Greek replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, that place is like a black hole. I went to CASF there, which, by the way, isn't doing me any good since I'm no longer deploying. I'll be so happy when the schoolhouse moves to San Antonio. That...
