    mobro replied to huskers24's topic in Government, Military

    the board for reviewing new nursing applications meets in a couple weeks so it is likely that the recruiter could be really busy. i would just call every couple days and check back in. my recruiter...

  2. Any AF January COT hopefuls out there?

    mobro replied to NurseJessi's topic in Government, Military

    USAFhopeful- i swear your post about being anxious is just about word for word like one i posted not too long ago! the closer it gets the more worried i am about the decision i'm making. COT seems...

  3. Air Force COT questions

    mobro replied to foqus's topic in Government, Military

    what am i missing here...? you hear all the time "i'm joining the military because they'll pay for me to go to school." but you have to sign up for the GI bill, then it doesn't cover 100% all the...

  4. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    mobro replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    question...when the board meets do they make their decisions at the end of their week long 'session' or do they accept/reject people on a daily basis? just curious if i should be on pins and needles...

  5. Can you use the Army's loan repayment program more than once?

    mobro replied to rcj2009's topic in Government, Military

    i could be completely wrong, and i'm applying to air force not army, but if you sign a new contract i think there are different incentives than the initial sign on stuff. but i'm not 100%

  6. Airforce essay questions

    mobro replied to dncndva215's topic in Government, Military

  7. Will a history of Suicide ideation automatically disqualify you from joining the Army

    mobro replied to Quiskeya's topic in Government, Military

  8. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    mobro replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    does anyone know how often apps are rejected? i hate my current job and really want to quit but can't until i know that i'm accepted into the air force. i'm told the board will meet nov 11 and decide...

  9. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    mobro replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    your interview sounds far more intense than mine. i knew the core values and what they meant to me when i went in but wasn't even asked about that! mostly i was toured around and told what a great...

    mobro replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

  11. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    mobro replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    so with my recruiter the other day i signed a paper turning down the loan repayment but accepting the bonus if offered. that doesn't guarantee my length of contract then? when do i find out for sure...

  12. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    mobro replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    via my recruiter for 2009 a three year contract gave you loan repayment only, four years got you the 30,000 bonus, and six years got you both. is that what that is saying? the last part makes it look...

  13. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    mobro replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    to quickly touch back onto the topic of bonuses and loan repayment, does anyone know if in years past the bonus has been roughly the same? I hear it was $30,000 for FY2009- is that pretty typical or...

  14. Questions about the Air Force

    mobro replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    i'm kind of in the same boat you are in... now that it is getting closer i'm starting to doubt what my reasons were for joining and am actually getting quite scared. but i think if you look at the big...

  19. Navy Nursing?

    mobro replied to aglages's topic in Government, Military
