Hello Everyone, I was notified by my recruiter that the Airforce boards will meet Jan 20- 23, results will be know by Feb 5, 2009. The sign-on bonus is now less. It is 20,000 with loan repayment, and 30,000 without loan repayment, yes it will be ta...

Yeah After one long year exactly, my recruiter informed me that I was selected Jan 20. So i will be going to COT mar 2009. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone who has been through COT recently willing to share their experience?????? Thanks

I am going to Scott, Il. How is Cot so far?????????? Any tips??????

My recruiter was out of Southern Maryland, Branch ave.

Thank you so much........ Can you offer any tips???????????? I plan on driving from Maryland.........

Hey can anyone post your best airforce base you have been station at so far??????????????????????????

How can we do it ourselves,,,,,,,, we are trusting that they are trained, and functional in their position as a recruiter????????? wow! Well at least you have an update maybe your paperwork can move forward now..................

Hey, I understand exactly where you are, and what your experiencing. I wonder what could we do to help the Airforce process smoother? Is there anyone that we could give our written experience to, so that they may develope a more thorough protocols, l...

I wonder why this is a common practice in the Airforce? Each day there is something new my recruiter forgot to send to the board, then he ask me if I have it? There should be written protocols, and each system should help one other on the common goa...

I am not sure of your question, I applied for active duty Airforce.

I understand, i started the process Jan 2008, and my packet was sent to the board Nov13, but i just found out today that they need more information 3 weeks ago. My recruiter was on leave and did not check his email. i feel like just giving up, and d...

SRM Thank You for your follow up. Cat2008:thankya:

Does anyone know how long it takes for an answer, once your paperwork goes to the boards????????????????:wink2:

Hey SRM When did your package go in, and how long did it take to hear an answer? Thanks Cat2008

With the Va, you should NOT call. It is prudent to go there in person, and find out what level they are at with your paperwork.

I know, and to answer your question they do have major issues with recruitment. Some Va's are better than others. But ask around, I'm sure many will agree it is a long process and most of it due to misplaced paper work. The benefits are great, I mus...

I am assuming b/c before my packet went out Nov 13, i signed for the loan and bonus. loan 38,000, bonus 25,000.

I presently work at the D.c. Va. It does take a while, some people took up to 6 mths to get in the door here. For me I applied from Texas in July, and started Oct 14. You definately have to go down to the recruiters office and insist on an update. ...

Has anyone heard what the new air force incentives are for 2009????? Will the student loan repayment continue???? What about sign on bonuses????? Has anyone heard any news from their recruiter since October?????? Thanks!

How long did it take your paper work to return from the boards??????

Do you mean 4 to 6 months for the boards???????????? I have heard 4 weeks before but, never 4 to 6 months??????????

I am going as general (clinic or med surg). They first told me to shoot for jan class, but since, my packet was just sent off it will likely be Mar 2009. I hope it doesn't take too long.................
