  4. Pediatric NP/age wavier chances

    lucy18 replied to jyoung3197's topic in Government, Military

    My husband was in the Marine Corp and knowing me he felt that the airforce was best for me based on their focus on education, service and family. I agree! The airforce values and mission suit me. As...

  5. Pediatric NP/age wavier chances

    lucy18 replied to jyoung3197's topic in Government, Military

    I am from NYC, not exactly the military capital of the world. I have applied to the Airforce reserves and am hoping they accept me. I have hypothyroidism so that may require a waiver. I am wiating...

    lucy18 replied to jyoung3197's topic in Government, Military

    I am 46 yo and have started my packet for the reserves. I am a Master's prepared nurse with 22 years experience. There did not seem to be much hoopla about my age. I believe up to 47 for reserves...

  8. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    With your advice I made an appt for a mamo and pap smear for next week. I sent my most recent thyroid labs (may) with my MEPS request and an EKG from May also. I had a glaucoma exam a couple of...

  9. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    Another instance that sometimes things go wrong and you do not have control over them. My understanding is that I must send some documentation in before i can even get an invitation to MEPS. Do you...

  10. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    You're right. At least that they realize over 40 may have a need for a waiver. Just hope my situation warrants a waiver. I understand their concern and am willing to comply, just want an...

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you again for the encouragement. I will send her a copy of the negative results of my exams and hope for the best. Who at my age (46) does not have something. I am in very good health, thin,...

    lucy18 replied to Nurse Nini's topic in Government, Military

  13. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for the encouragement. However, I may not get the chance to attend COT. I recieved word that the Surgeon General ok'd my packet to go forward. The recruiter sent me the request to attend...

  14. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    Just an unrelated question. I thought 20+years you are comissioned as a Major? I am a 21 year experienced RN, my recruiter told me I would probably commission as a Major, just wanted to check with...

  15. US Air Force COT 10-06

    lucy18 replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    I am 46 and at the beginning of the joining process (awaiting approval from the Surgeon General). I am by no means in tip top shape. I am so afraid of the physical piece of COT and lack of sleep. I...

    Athena, Thank you for sharing your experience. I am feeling much more optimistic about my chances and definitely more excited. I sent my packet for the Surgeon General that included an essay. My...

  17. Air Force Reserve Question

    lucy18 replied to Nurse Nini's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for your assistance. It is quite an involved process, that is dependent on many variables. I guess one step at a time. In the end, even if you qualify it really omes down to whether they...

  18. Air Force Reserve Question

    lucy18 replied to Nurse Nini's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you so much for the response. It is anxiety provoking to not have questions answered and just go over things in your head. Although my husband was in the Marine Corps, he has little idea about...

  20. Age limits/requirements

    lucy18 replied to AOX4RN's topic in Government, Military

    My husband was a Marine and he also believes it is not a difficult transition in most cases. It is my age that may be the problem. Thank you for the

  21. Age limits/requirements

    lucy18 replied to AOX4RN's topic in Government, Military

    What you are saying seems sensible, although I don't understand its basis. Since the majority of active duty do not retire from the armed forces, why is it a variable? Rules are rules whether they...

  22. Age limits/requirements

    lucy18 replied to AOX4RN's topic in Government, Military
