  1. OB nurse has questions about the Air Force

    The Little Greek replied to nydoll911's topic in Government, Military

    I am an OB nurse in the AF. If you do a search on this forum you'll find quite a few threads where I have answered questions specific to OB. As for the weight, just as others have stated, it will...

  2. I am a GEEK from the word go

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

    Congrats on your upcoming graduation! I'm sure you are thrilled. Then on top of it all you get to go to Alaska! As for OB, all I know is that it is the third busiest for deliveries in the AF (first is...

  3. Can anyone tell me about Air Force TMO/leaving for COT?

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

    I second that! Let them unpack as much as possible! It might seem like a big mess at first, but in the long run you'll be able to get your things put away faster. I didn't have the movers do the...

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

    wtbcrna, I'm hoping to head to Elmendorf next! I have a year and a half left here at LAFB and I'm already telling everyone who asks that Alaska is my first choice. Hoping and praying someone is...

  6. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

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

    I commissioned for six years and got both loan repayment and the bonus. It was a pretty sweet deal. Since I was very confident coming in that was going to do 20 years then retire, my initial...

  7. Questions about the Air Force

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

    I can relate to how you are feeling. I quit a good paying job to return to nursing school. I spent a ton of money and got myself into a great deal of debt, which I'm sure I'll be paying until I...

  8. Can anyone tell me about Air Force TMO/leaving for COT?

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

    Let me be the first to introduce you to your new way of life! I don't in any way mean that to be negative, I just mean that things happen in their own time in the AF and it usually isn't as fast as I...

  9. Sending in the final Air Force app.

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

    I was in your shoes not that long ago--scared but excited. In the end, it was all worth it. First, don't feel bullied by your recruiter. Of course they don't want you to back out after they have done...

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

    Second degree RN here as well. My first degree was in marketing. I worked in retail management and merchandising for 10 years before going back to school and getting my degree. If you met me in person...

  11. Length of COT and NTP

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

    Are you commissioning as a 2LT or 1LT? Just curious because I see you have RN exp. I came in as a 1LT and they wouldn't let me do ASBC. All is well though because I make Capt in a few months and I'll...

  12. Length of COT and NTP

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

    Nope, PT score is not listed on your OPR--at least I don't see it anywhere on any of mine. You do have to turn in a copy of your fitness score along with your SURF when your OPR is due, but I'm not...

  13. Length of COT and NTP

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

    I think the jump in push ups is insane too. I used to have to do 30 and I could usually bust out 37. 46??? Nice goal but I doubt it will ever happen. I foresee lots of failures in our future (and when...

  18. Questions about the Air Force

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

    My squadron only does mandatory PT once per week. Because most of us are shift workers we have three opportunities to attend one PT session a week. PT only lasts one hour so it's not that bad....

  19. How to do a Commissioning Ceremony?

    The Little Greek replied to Spencer2002's topic in Government, Military

    First, congrats to you! My commissioning ceremony wasn't really much of a ceremony actually. I was sworn in by an Army Major in my recruiter's office with only my two little boys there to witness....

  20. Questions about the Air Force

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

    Honestly it's not that much different than what I did as a civilian RN. My work day consists of 12 hour shifts, approx 3-4 days a week. I wear my uniform in to work but immediately change into scrubs...

  21. in the process of becoming an air force nurse!

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

    COT really isn't that bad...promise. I too was worried about the physical aspect of training because I hadn't been physically active in years. I started running (more like fast walking) before I even...

  23. Do government/military hospitals emphasize customer service?

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

    We (meaning my hospital) don't use Press-Ganey surveys but we still emphasize excellent customer service. In my hospital we utilize voluntary surveys that are unit-specific as well as the ICE system...

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

    Keep in mind too that you may get your first choice, but there is always a possibility that your assignment might change while at COT or NTP. However rare, it can happen. We just got two new LTs that...
