  1. Package

    Dumb question but here goes anyway. No one has said anything to me about a board choosing me as a officer. They are saying that my package has to be submitted. Is this the same thing? I am applying for a specific position and no one has made any indi...
  2. Package

    Your right! Flight nursing is what I'm striving for. They are hoping that I can come in aug/ sept...so any day now. However my flight physical has to be accepted and my package submitted. I'm guessing they have to be completed before I get to start ....
  3. Package

    Thank you for your info! Yes I've asked my recruiter lots of questions. He has been very vague since the beginning. I just found out he transferred to another job and my new recruiter is going to be talking with me next week. I think that most of my ...
  4. Package

    No prob. Thanks for replying. Haven't talked to anyone yet who has gone the same path as me yet. Hope someone will answer me who can shine a little light on my path ?. Good luck on your journey.
  5. Package

    Applying for reserved but I'm going active for a year to get all my training in.
  6. Package

    No. I've been a nurse for seven years. So the board is for the NTP? Is there no "board" for OTS? Thanks for replying! Being spoon fed information is frustrating.
  7. USAF 2012 NTP Board

    Can anyone read my question under "package" and give me their opinion? So many things seem like a top secret...secret. A check off list of the steps to become an officer at the beginning of the process would be so much less confusing
  8. Direct commission

    So far I have passed MEPS and had a great interview. Just did my flying class 3 physical. Passed everything except now I need a crown. I'm getting that done this month. My recruiter is submitting my packet so he says I should do my oath in about thre...
  9. Direct commission

    You are a god send! Thank you. I'm going air force reserve but the first year I will be active to receive all my training to be a flight nurse. My work knows but everyone is on hold until I leave...everyone is shifting positions when I go PRN. They a...
  10. Direct commission

    Thanks for the info!! Did you do anything between steps besides wait? Did you do UTA's? Just feel like my life is on hold and everyone keeps asking me how long... Can't wait to start anything :) when should I give my work notice? COT dates as far a...
  11. Direct commission

    Physical passed and package signed. Now I'm waiting for my oath and then COT. Anyone on the same track as me? Any clue how long it normally takes between the oath and actually getting to do something? Like everyone else the waiting is killing me.
  12. Direct commission

    Its for your teeth. I had a root canal several years ago and was supposed to get a crown on the tooth. My tooth was fine so I never bothered with it but since a tooth that has had a root canal is considered weaker, they required a crown to be put on.
  13. A day in the life of an Air Force flight nurse

    Thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to be a flight nurse whenever I get in so hearing you tell what it's going to be like is exciting and scary all at the same time!! Thanks for the insight. Can't imagine a better job :)
  14. Direct commission

    Everyones sence of humor makes my waiting so much easier. My blood work has finally come back normal...no more anemia!! My crown is planned to be put on Monday. My recruiter hasnt called me back in over a week but it is a holiday week so Im trying to...
  15. Where to get uniforms?

    Do commissioned officers buy the uniforms outright or is there an allowance? About how much do they run? Just want to get a head start if possible.
  16. Direct commission

    The waiting is killing me also. I found out Im anemic so I have to get my H&H within normal limits before I get to procede......I think im going to pull my hair out :)
  17. Selection board 2012 for air force

    This might be a dumb question but what is the selection board? I am getting a direct commission as a flight nurse. I have passed meps and my interview. I just did my flying class physical. I should do my oath in about three weeks. I asked my recruit...
  18. Joining as a nurse officer

    Im a nurse that has been working for awhile and I have my BSN. I want to join the air force reserves as a flight nurse. I would love to talk to anyone who has gone through the process or is going through now. How long does the process take? I've pass...
  19. Joining as a nurse officer

    Also wondering... I have some "dings" on my credit report that I reported to my recruiter. He has not said anything about it but I recently read that the air force is a stickler for good credit. Is this something I should be worried about? One of the...
  20. Selection board 2012 for air force

    Does everyone ( air force reserves) have to go through a selection board? I had an interview and I'm pretty sure she is interested in me but is it up to her or do I have other competition and a selection board?
  21. Joining as a nurse officer

    Thanks! I appreciate you letting me know
