I'm not sure about other branches but for the Air Force, you can commission and be a single parent. I know because I just commissioned a few months ago and am a single parent. If you enlist you cannot be a single parent but the rules are different to...

Hi nursenooch We have a FB page if you'd like to join. You can search USAF COT 12-06 if you cannot find it just PM me your name and I will add you. See you on FB and in Aug.

samm0705, No girl, I haven't quit my job yet. I guess I'm still waiting for the right time. But honestly it's hard to focus, lol. It seems like time is winding down quickly though.

hey heirn13! It does feel good. I haven't received orders but my recruiter says I will not receive orders until we have medically cleared. So right now I'm at a stand-still until this part gets done.

Hopefully you will Jenks! Keep us posted

Heirn13,Well medical clearance is done and dental clearance will be done tomorrow. Then I will submit the forms and see what happens from there. I haven't quit my job yet, lol. Maybe in the next couple of weeks. How are things going for you? You shou...

Hey bryano, rndiver82 is correct. I was on the alternate after the boards in February and that's how it was explained to me. Hope you get a seat soon.

heirn13, That's cool that you have already gotten an email from your flight commander!

Jenks,That's great! Now you can calm down and take a deep breath (sorry, I really don't mean that in a mean way but you just seem very anxious). I was #1 on the alternate list and got in. Basically if someone declines for any reason or cannot go for ...

Hey Jenks, Just to let you know, I did not get an answer until almost a week after everyone heard. I had to email my recruiter. Then she told me I was on the waitlist. A month later (beginning of April), I found out I was in. So don't get discourag...

I don't think anyone created a facebook page yet. It is still allowed, if someone would like to go ahead and start it.

Not sure when exactly you can schedule your move. I would ask your recruiter about that. Some people have been able to get their IDs already and some haven't. I have not been able to, yet. But I'm try to. My recruiter says I have to wait until COT, l...

I am med/surg. I have been trying not to worry too much about what is happening with this process now that I'm in. I just do what my recruiter tells me to get done and work on the things that I can. I'm trying not to worry about the things that I can...

For the physical part just exercise and run everyday or at least almost everyday. Make sure to review the the guidelines and what you need to pass. So that way you have at least a minimum goal for yourself. I'm working with a trainer and doing couch ...

samm0705, What kind of things would you like guidance/advice about? Have you commissioned yet?

ERMags, Hopefully we will get to do some kind of celebrating for your big 3-0! It will be nice to bring in your new decade/(our) new chapter in right. :-)

FP83RN...you're moving right along. Good job!

Hey rndiver82 and ERMags! I've been through all of your posts, (it was really like a suspenseful book to me). So I just wanted to congrat both of you on getting in. See you both in August. Congratulations again :w00t:. Oh, and we have a thread going ...

Hey heirn13! Well I want to at least try to see as many people as possible. I may be a little brave a resign before getting orders. At least you will be in the states so visiting people will not be as difficult for you. I'm not really sure how ofte...

fp83rn- i'm going to japan. i'm going see if i can do the same thing as far as orders because that would makes things a lot easier for me. icurnanthony- i think my recruiter said the time begins when you commission. i'm not sure about leave though...

Hi FP83RN, We will have to get medical clearance so hopefully that will mean that we are in DEERS. I will ask my recruiter tro check on that. That would be great if so, then I can get that the same day I get my uniforms. How did you commission and ...

Hey heirn13! I'm glad to hear your ceremony turned out great. I'm also glad your dad was able to swear you in too. Mine went pretty well too. I was commissioned on May 31st. It was a really small ceremony at the recruiters office. I'm going to get ...

Hey Kuhnb1788 That is good to hear. I will ask my recruiter again because she initially said that I could not get ours until we go to COT. So your name has to be in the system first. I haven't commissioned yet, so mine is probably not. I really jus...

hi dcw132003, i had asked this same questions a few months back and got some really good feedback by current single parents that are in the air force. here is the thread just in case you want to look at it: "af applicant wanting feedback...need adv...

I'm sure it will be nice willtsmith! I think mine will probably be something small as well, like at the recruiters office. You're one step closer to COT.
