  1. AF COT

    rghbsn replied to AF42's topic in Government, Military

    Not really a rant, Little Greek...Excellence in All We Do...even the PT test. People forget about it. I know that folks are "glad" there isn't usually mandated PT time as a unit, but I don't see a...

  2. RCOT

    rghbsn replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in Government, Military

    I could see it at 8 weeks, I think that would be a good length. But I don't think it's bogus, per se. There will always be some people that squeek through that don't really know thier stuff...they...

  3. RCOT

    rghbsn replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in Government, Military

    This is what I've learned, being in one of the leadership positions...the idea is this: one day you will be deployed to the AOR. Let's just say that you hit the ground running with 100% of the...

  4. CFCC?

    rghbsn replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Good Luck! I'll probably see you around the hospital when you start clinicals...I'll be one of the guys in the black flightsuit. Have

    rghbsn replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in Government, Military

    No ma'am it isn't, and no ma'am you don't...BMT was easy. I went to Parris Island before I came down here...I thought I had it all figured out. And I was wrong. Sleep as much as you can between now...

  6. flight nursing in the air force?

    rghbsn replied to KR's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Most of the COT dates for this fiscal year are already full...but take that with a grain of salt. There are people that get last minute slots all the time. There's a guy that I know who was called on...

  8. Question about AFI36-2903

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

    I was really just shooting from the hip with the about.com reference, lol. I hear what you're saying...but the usefullness of ABU's anywhere should be in question, really. They don't let you hide in...

  9. Question about AFI36-2903

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

    I see your point, but I don't know how they can have an end date for BDU's and no permanent design...I think ABU's will be around for awhile (like 'em or not) and that someone's trying to save a...

  12. Question about AFI36-2903

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

    Yes, you can wear all of them. While at COT you will wear them as follows: Army Com, Army Achievement (with device as Army prescribes), Army Good Cookie, National Defense Service (if awarded for a...

  13. USAF COT 10-04

    rghbsn replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I commissioned in my flightsuit from my civilian job because that was the only uniform I had, lol. I didn't have a chance to go buy any uniforms ahead of time. Just dress to the occassion. If you have...

  14. Question about AFI36-2903

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

    Most of the ribbons you can wear (other than specific things like shooting ribbons or Army unit awards, I think). Other things such as badges are only authorized when in permanent assignment to a unit...

  15. Air Force Reserve Nursing and Deployment

    rghbsn replied to AKRN907's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think so. I think there are a few ways back to active duty, but I wouldn't call it "easy" and it's definitely not

  17. have questions about BOLC 3

    rghbsn replied to medcadet's topic in Government, Military

    X2 I don't see how they could let you stay off base. Getting to see your wife sometimes if she was there, maybe...but staying off base. Doesn't sound realistic to

  18. COT/Stationing Assignments from November Boards!!!!

    rghbsn replied to NurseJessi's topic in Government, Military

    Make sure you meet the weight standards before you go to MEPS, but if it's more than a few pounds (or way over body fat %) you may run into a recruiter that's not interested in doing the leg work...

  19. Am I the Only One???

    rghbsn replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    I doubt that you're the only one...but what are the things that are making you anxious? Often not knowing what to expect increases anxiety, so this is one place you can get some answers. There are...

  20. ARMY Critical Care Nursing full?????

    rghbsn replied to ICU24's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think that anyone has issue with you not being happy in your role, with your job or in the way you feel like the Army is treating you and the nurses in the NC. A more helpful way to point out...

  23. AIr force reserve rank

    rghbsn replied to nursekat43's topic in Government, Military

    Tough call. It seems to me that the recruiter should have known the system better and that just years of nursing did not translate to rank. That being said, I would think that you are stuck...if you...
