I too may be going to COT in October. I have an official date for January, but am on the alternate list for a sooner slot. (fingers crossed). I have been a nurse for a little over a year working in the ICU setting. I have been told that I am going to Travis AFB after COT. "dlinlee" I am coming from somewhat around your area, so if I get a spot it would be great to at least follow someone I would know down there. I am very nervous about this screaming business...because I'm a laugher. My husband was in the Army, so I am somewhat familiar with the environment.... still nervous. Does anyone have any other links to manuals that I should read other than the one that is posted on the COT site? I want to be as prepared as possible.
