Hello Dee Tonia, Truth be told, it was pretty easy... especially if you had any sort of military background. absolutely nothing for anyone to be worried about. The course work was Army 101, which anyone with a college degree should have no problem ...

Just wondering who is going in Jan to OBLC, the previous thread is a little long, but informational.

Everyone that I have known as a nurse stays behind the gate and do not go into combat...in the Air Force; however, I did training with the Army for 5 wks and learned combat training, I was supposed to be deployed to a prison facility as a health care...

Runninmom, Forwaters and I have been married for over 14 yrs, met as civilians and have two kids, 14 & 11. Hopefully, we won't ever live too far apart from each other and the kids aren't babies anymore...good luck with the multiple family, moving...

I've been in the Air Force for 4 yrs and am now transferring to the Army (not because of not liking the AF). It has been a great 4 yrs. I can only comment on the AF and not the Navy so: 1. Depending on the bonus requirements you can join from 3-6 yea...

LOL....I forgot I have to redo all my computer training, transfering from AF to Army. I should have it memorized by now . Thank you for the site, it will lessen our requirements when we get there and start runnin' around.

For awhile, we were not allowed to fly in uniform due to safety reasons, OPSEC. So, I would call your recruiter and see what he/she says. However, show them your orders and they will sometimes not charge you. Also, you can bill the military later. Of...

Very well said!!!!!!!!!

I'm going in January!!!!! My love...I'll meet up with you......Good times!!!!

Good Luck!!! And have some fun!!!

Scout, I do believe you do miss the point...ppl are not taking physical fitness lightly...they are worried they will not do well and will fail. Their question was how they would improve themselves without causing harm. No one here is old, but to star...

Now this is the second reference to what an officer means...well, I am an officer and do I get 100 % at age 39, no. Am I out there with my enlisted everyday running with them and joining them at PT yes. Do they see me quit and whine, no. That is what...

I went to C4 training at Camp Bullis...the plastic bags are to protect your gear from the wet and organize things. Be prepared for no showers, so bring wipes. Also, take cards or a game everyone plays, the tents are co-ed and there are lots of you, a...

GetNPhD, It can be very intense at the beginning, especially not being prior. I cried to my husband when I was at COT (air force officer training), and that was only 4 wks and now I can say it was easy. Now I can laugh about it...but I know I will be...

NSM is basically a 3 wk class at Sheppard for Capt-Maj to teach management skills. It's a great class and something to try for when you get in...you can go when you are a 1st Lt...especially if you are an OIC (officer in charge). The AF has lots to o...

I agree, if someone is happier then they work longer, however, I wish I can say that about the nurse corp in the Air Force. Now don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the time I've been in the Air Force and do not regret being here. I am transferring to ...

Hello everyone, Has anyone gone from blue to green and can anyone give any information on army lifestyle? Any training I have done with the Airforce has been Army training, so I have some exposure. Just starting the process and getting kind of nervou...

Thanks, I don't know...right now I'm a general nurse. I was thinking critical care...but in the army they deploy a great deal. I hope to get my masters in public health...I love dealing with infections...

Otherwise, the Air Force is a great place to be...I would not change if the circumstances were different.

I am going into the Army is because of the difficulty of getting my husband into the Airforce. They have one board for new nurses, and then they just ran out of the incentive...since we have already waited a year and now have to wait longer for maybe...
