I just heard from my recruiter today that the board had made their selections! He told me they were now confirming COT dates, matching up selects with assignments, and verifying credentials, etc. He told me they had not released the list as of yet ...

MBRN74, Sorry it has taken me so long to post. I've been busy! COT is now officially finished and now I am getting settled at my new base. To answer your earlier question, my recruiter was from Oklahoma. He was the nearest healthcare recruiter to me....

Hi all. I am so glad I found this site and found other nurses running the same gauntlet I am in trying to get into the Air Force. My question is: my nursing background is mostly emergency department with some ICU and Med/Surg. I also have my CEN ...

We now have a facebook group page for August COT. It is USAF COT 11-06. Feel free to join in on the fun as we all get ready to go!

Thanks tee byrd for starting this thread! I am commissioning this Friday! I am super pumped and excited! My recruiter sent me a package for my commissioning and it included the bonus paperwork. I am still working on my push ups, sit ups, and runni...

Congrats to you ICUchristi! I am scheduled to commission this coming Friday. August is definitely fast approaching!

Ha Sharky! I think you know who you are!

Thanks peterrn and christi! That is helpful. My recruiter and nearest AFB is 4.5 hours away. I am trying to keep my trips to a minimum if possible!

Congrats to you peterrn! That had to be a proud moment! I did fingerprints while at Meps last summer. Did you all have to do a second set? I have not heard a date for when I commission. I am hoping to buy my uniforms at that time. Anyone know if I ca...

..Christi and Babieblue, I will be at COT with you in August! I am jealous that you got Travis. My daughter and I were hoping to become California girls :) I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Great news rnpic! I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I felt like I was assigned Keesler because it was the closest base with an ER to me. I thought maybe it was the Air Force being cost conscious in regards to the cost of PCS ing my family. Maybe that is giving them too much credit!

My recuiter had told me that at one time you could not reapply if you were not selected. However, he has since told me that it is difficult to be selected after you have been a "non-select", but not impossible. Also the Air Force is turning down mu...

I am emergency department specialty. I was hoping for Travis, Eglin, Langley, or Andrews, however, Keesler does have its perks. We will not be as far from family and friends, all the base housing is brand new thanks to Hurricane Katrina, and you ha...

Found out yesterday that I will be going to Keesler. I'm very happy to finally have a COT date but a little disappointed with the assignment. Keesler was not one of my five choices. My recruiter pretty much said that if I didn't accept the assignm...

Finally got the call today! I'll be there in August with you, tee byrd!

He had no time frame to tell me. Just encouraged me to continue to be patient and stay motivated.

Talked to my recruiter today and he said they had not released to him any new information about requirements for FY2012. As always, he told me "when I hear something you will be the first to know". I think he will probably be happy to wash his hand...

Congrats to you peterrn and welcome to the forum! Keep us posted on your time line of events. I am curious how long it takes to get the official letter of acceptance, commission, get orders, etc.. It had better be quick! I noticed the date on the Max...

I can't leave the VA where I am working until the end of June:( I am wondering if their will be slots in the July class. I have read through the forums and it looks like this is the "summer surge" class when all the med students have to go due to th...

hubrn, Thank you so much for the updates. My recruiter being out until Monday is killing me! I am so relieved that the numbers for next year are finally being released. Did your recruiter tell you any other specialty numbers. I know I am ER but I...

I was afraid the bonuses might go away for 2012. It would seem like they would not be offering sign on bonuses if they are turning nurses away. In any case, I doubt the amount would be increased. I think it has been the same amount for the past co...

Wow! That is exciting! I am supposedly #1 on the ER alternate list, although my date I gave them that I could leave is not until July5th. I am contractually obligated until June to the VA where I work as part of a tuition reimbursement scholarship ...

anderm22, Thanks so much for the update. My recruiter has been in contact with me about every two weeks since November which has been great except that he has no news for me.. Not his fault though! I would like to know some dates and where I am going...

Unfortunately my recruiter is out of the office until next Monday:( I will have to wait.... Which I happen to be getting quite good at! I'll keep you posted on any new updates!
