  9. Pay at COT

    nursemel09 replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

    I do not think that they will be able to retrieve from storage without a person (power of attorney) there to release it. They should be able to pick the household goods up before you leave for COT...

  18. Air Force Nursing...NTP for exp nurses? Does family go?

    nursemel09 replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    They try to have NTP and your first base the same. I also tried to request bases that included NTP to increase the chance of NTP and first station being the same. However, it depends on where the NTP...

    nursemel09 replied to MyHopeIsUnchanged's topic in Government, Military
