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

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

    You are so lucky! Anchorage is beautiful and actually pretty well populated. A friend of mine is stationed there now and he loves it! I'm hoping to PCS there this summer. It's an amazing...

  2. Commission to Officer Training in Air Force

    The Little Greek replied to SandyD8's topic in Government, Military

    Don't stress too much about PT scores. Throughout your career your scores will fluctuate up and down. For instance, I usually score >90% on my test--max push ups and sit ups with 1.5 mile run about...

  3. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

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

    I wanted to revive this thread to mention a new tax law that may affect many of you AD folks that are married. It's called the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act. Amongst other things, it states...

  4. Giving serious consideration to ANC

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

    Yep, total coverage of the arms is what got ya. No more the 3/4 of exposed skin is allowed--in the AF at least. I'm not sure what the Navy's policy was but if the Army says yes, and that's what you...

  5. Giving serious consideration to ANC

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

    Don't let your tattoos limit you! I'm quite tattooed (two half sleeves and my back is 3/4 covered). My tattoos show in my AF blues uniform. I came into the AF with my tattoos. They took pictures and...

  6. Air Force Board Results

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

    I feel the pain of each of you awaiting notification! I also applied for non-NTP commission around the holidays. I submitted my package in October for a December board. Unfortunately I didn't hear...

  7. USUHS Graduation

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

    Be careful out there! I hope you arrive with your sanity intact. It's going to be a great assignment for you I'm sure. Hopefully I'll be joining you up there in Alaska very

  8. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

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

    You may want to follow-up with your recruiter about this. I work L&D and luckily came in as a qualified OB RN (46N3G). I work with plenty of RNs that came into the AF with absolutely no OB...

  9. Question about USAF uniform shoes / pumps

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

    Oh yeah, forgot about the mess dress. My class was during summer surge and we had a dining in wearing ABUs. I never even bought the mess dress (and still don't own it to this day!) If you are in a...

  10. Question about USAF uniform shoes / pumps

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

    For the purposes of COT I would make sure to buy the patent leather oxfords. You'll quickly learn that everything needs to be standardized. This translates into EVERYONE wearing the same shoes--male...

  11. AF NICU Nursing: Wright-Patterson, OH?

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

    I'm at Langley and have a friend that just PCS'd to Wright-Patt. I talked to her this morning and the answer is no, they do not have a NICU. Langley does have a NICU and will be expanding services...

  12. Loan repayment - Air Force

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

    The only agreement I signed when I commissioned was that I agreed to take the loan repayment (and it was a small blurb inserted into a large document with lots of other small blurbs!) There was not a...

  13. COT class 10-02

    The Little Greek replied to jentrump29's topic in Government, Military

    A word to the wise regarding loan repayment.... This was my personal experience with the system. Granted it was awhile ago but I could see this happening again. I went through COT then reported to my...

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

    Congrats to all of you! I remember the wait for that call well. Now it's time to take a deep breath, get focused, and start planning. Best of luck to all of you! If any of you get stationed at Langley...

    The Little Greek replied to firefiter61's topic in Government, Military

  19. Air Force (SOS) Squadron Officer School,

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

    Nope, you can get right to it. Of the three RNs that I know that attended SOS, none had completed it by correspondence. I've been told it makes you more competitive though. Not sure how true that...

  20. Air Force educational programs

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

    Yep, that's a typo. Missed my window of editing time so I can't fix it. Should read Lt

  21. Air Force educational programs

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

    I will be attending the NSM course within the next 6 months. I never attended the NSF class so it must not be a prerequisite. Here is some information I hope you will find helpful: -Open to NC...

  22. Air Force COT questions

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

    As far as running shoes go, you can bring your own. They will not make you all have the same running shoes. However, having some insoles for the uniform shoes/boots might not be a bad

  23. AF Nurse Accession Bonus & BLS question

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

    Don't worry, you can apply for a Military Star card and use it to pay for your uniforms. I believe it might even be interest free for a year but I'm not positive. Look into it. There were so many...

  24. AF Nurse Accession Bonus & BLS question

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

    I love Saucony and Mizuno but everyone is different. The best thing I ever did for myself was go to an independently owned running store (not a big-box store like Athlete's Foot, etc) and get properly...

  25. AF Nurse Accession Bonus & BLS question

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

    The bonus is paid in a lump sum and is taxed 28% no matter what your tax bracket is. Therefore, if you receive $30,000 you can expect to pocket approx $21,000. The loan repayment is also paid in a...
