CAREBEAR*

Thanks for the advice!! The family care plan is already done :) Just need to figue out housing! whats ops tempo?

hey all, I just got commisioned on saturday. I'm a single mother of a 2 yr old and a planner. I will be going to COT in March. then going to keesler for NTP then to my assignment in Eglin. I know my daughter and boyfriend are able to go to NTP with me, but how am I suppose to entertain a 2 yr old in a hotel room. Eglin is 2-3 hrs from keesler debating on driving back and fourth and letting my boyfriend and daughter set up a house for us in FL we r planning on living off base. Anyone have any suggestions or been in the same situation. How intense is NTP can I drive back and fourth a couple days a week? I just feel they would be more comfortable in a house and it would be alot easier to move only once. Thanks KERRI

sooo My recruiter told me I was accepted about 3 weeks ago and that I will be going to COT in march. I havent heard anymore and am waiting for my assignment. Is this normal?

Thanks!! Travelcrazy do you know your base assignment yet? It seems like a long wait but it will give me lots of time to get in great shape and planning to move my family

I RECEIVED THE CALL TODAY THAT I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED!!!!! I am not going to COT until March 2011 and don't know what base I am going to but Im SOOOOOOOOO excited I finally have been accepted!!!

What??!!! I would be freaking out how can they not know your assignment?

I would love to talk to another recruiter to hear what hey have to say. My recruiter is from chicago and I know there are few nursing recruiters in this area. I really feel that my app was late for the november board and didnt get in on it but there is no way I will ever know that for sure. I just feel it hadnt been looked at because I just got it back a few months ago to fix some errors. It just really makes you wonder what is going on? Like carolina said there is no way everything can come to a hault because of one person being gone or whatever the case is.

Its just crazy!!! I keep telling my recruiter that and he says u will get in... the AF has gotten over 400 apps for nursing this year and they are overwhelmed (I understand that but my life has been on hold for the past year and a half waiting for the AF to come through because thats what I really want to do!) I asked if I should apply for another branch of the military and he said no we will get you in. He also told me that none of the branches were accepting anymore aps until further notice. I read a few people who are planning on their app going into a may board but I don't think they are accepting anymore at this time. My recruiter doesn't understand my frustration but I do have a family and It would be nice to know where we are going even if were not leaving til next year. Its hard when your family continues to ask what is going on and you have no answers for them. I just wish we could get answers!

Hey there I am new to this site. I have been waiting for result since novemer 2009 and started the process in Jan. 2009. It has been a long frustrating wait!! My recruiter told me many deadline dates and the last one was april 26th at the latest. Obviously it has come and gone like all the other dates. He says I at least wont be leaving for COT until Jan 2011. I dont really care when I leave this is just one thing I really want and want to know that I have been accepted. I was an alternate from the nov board and my ap with 30 others got missed for feb board because they were left in texas (so my recruiter says.) It all seems like a huge mess!! Results have to be coming soon. I bug my recruiter often but I feel they have to know something even the littlest update makes me hopeful. I just feel the day will never come. ANyone else in my situation?? My recruiter also says he has someone not leaving for COT til March 2011. He also told me that the lady in charge of it all left last friday for a family emergency. I have been a RN for almost a year now and was a LPN 3 years prior to that why are new grads being selected who havent passed their boards or even graduated before people who have?
