  1. Graduated cot on friday!!!

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

    LOL! I truly am a little Greek! And yes, the ABUs are HUGE on me--the shirts mostly. I've actually gone up a size in the pants recently because I find the waist to be very, very small. Am I the only...

  2. Graduated cot on friday!!!

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

    I have this same problem. At 5'1" and 105 lbs, there are very few items that I don't have to have tailored--even my ABU shirts. I get my blues shirts taken in on the sides and in the sleeves and this...

  3. COT/Stationing Assignments from November Boards!!!!

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

    I know it's very hard ya'll. Good for you for hitting the gym now! The wait may be long and agonizing, but when you find out you are selected everything will move quickly. You'll be so thankful that...

  4. COT/Stationing Assignments from November Boards!!!!

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

    Ladies and gents, I had the same heart wrenching experience. Package was completed in November, sent to some board for review although I was never given a definitive answer on this one. Bottom line is...

  5. AF Nursing with some questions

    The Little Greek replied to Christy72's topic in Government, Military

    It's just difficult because we are one of the two training sites for L&D. What it boils down to is that there are very few of us who are experienced so we do the brunt of the training, precepting,...

    The Little Greek replied to Christy72's topic in Government, Military

    Amen to

  7. AF Nursing with some questions

    The Little Greek replied to Christy72's topic in Government, Military

    I guess I'm speaking from the L&D perspective at my current base. Our schedules are terribly erratic--24 hr on-call shifts, switches from day to night every couple months, PNC students and the...

  8. AF Nursing with some questions

    The Little Greek replied to Christy72's topic in Government, Military

    TA can be a good deal in some cases, but not all schools are as good as others. I have a friend using TA now for her practitioner program and it doesn't cover all of her tuition. And then of course...

  9. Air Force Loan Repayment

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

    Carolinapooh, it sounds like you and I may have had the same POC at Wright-Patt. I had several frustrating exchanges with her. Good thing I'm a good record keeper like

  10. AF Nursing with some questions

    The Little Greek replied to Christy72's topic in Government, Military

    If you want to get your MSN in a reasonable amount of time, don't try to go active duty just yet. With your schedule (3-4 12s per week) and the always looming possibility of deployment, it would be...

  11. Air Force Loan Repayment

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

    Carolinapooh speaks the truth! Keep at the emails and keep ALL correspondence between you and the AFIT contact. They messed up my information several times, but with persistence I got it

  12. Graduated cot on friday!!!

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

    This is a MAJORLY loaded question. When they ask this it is a test. When they asked the question of my class, a handful of us came forward. For those that didn't step forward the tongue lashing...

  13. AF bases that offer NTP

    The Little Greek replied to bds165's topic in Government, Military

    Just to clarify, when you say you have a "military spouse" do you mean your spouse is actually IN the military? Small detail, but an important one. I didn't go to NTP so I'm not too sharp on those...

  14. OBLC March/ I got my orders!!!!!!!

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

    When I reported to COT they had me down as a male (and I'm not) AND listed my birthdate as 1997 which made me all of 11 years old. It took four weeks to fix it. I love the military for that!

  15. Duty Stations

    The Little Greek replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    I grew up here so it's really not one of my favorite places. I only put it on my list because I knew it was a busy L&D and I wanted to get the best experience possible. It's been a great...

  16. Duty Stations

    The Little Greek replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    Well that's good to hear since Elmendorf is at the TOP of my ADP and I only put three choices. Perhaps I should go back in and edit it so there is only one choice--lol! I hope someone out there is...

  17. Bonus's Taxed

    The Little Greek replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

    I didn't have to go to NTP so I'm not exactly sure about this, but if I recall correctly from what my friends said, you'll get your bonus when you are at NTP and won't get your loan repayment until...

  18. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm sure many of you already know about this, but I'm posting this for those who (like me!) didn't know about this applying to mortgages. In my case, I own a home in Texas that I couldn't sell before...

  19. Bonus's Taxed

    The Little Greek replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

    I got mine about a month after I reported to my duty station (following

  20. Duty Stations

    The Little Greek replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    Carolinapooh nailed it. I'm not sure what it is with the reverse psychology, but if you act like you want one base really bad you probably won't get it. In retrospect, I should have listed Elmendorf...

  21. Bonus's Taxed

    The Little Greek replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

    I'm glad to hear that you got back most of your taxes back, however it is not so in all cases. When I came into the AF I received $30K in sign-on and $38K in loan repayment. On those bonuses alone I...

  22. Duty Stations

    The Little Greek replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    I'm already AD and currently working at Langley. I almost have two years TOS (time on station) and I'm trying to PCS to Elmendorf. When I was first accepted to the AF I just took what they offered me....

  23. Duty Stations

    The Little Greek replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    I got my third choice: 1. Elmendorf 2. Lackland 3. Langley I'm in the process of trying for my first choice

  24. Graduated cot on friday!!!

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

    All I have to say is, if you want to make friends and keep them, stay away from the Social Officer position. Unless things have changed, they are the ones that have to collect money from everyone...

  25. Mar09 COT - Questions PLEASE

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

    You all got Camelbacks????? So you didn't have to lug around the canteens or was the Camelback just an extra? My COT class didn't get them a few years ago. That was one of the suggestions we made to...
