I am interested in any info I can get regarding Lackland AFB and the surrounding area. I will be stationed there (actually BAMC) for my first assignment in October. I am curious about where to live and neigborhoods with good schools for my kinderga...

Atlrn0828, Congrats on getting all of that done. I bet that feels good! Have you received orders yet? Everything is going well, not doing much other than PT stuff right now. Still awaiting orders. I won't give my notice until then. I joined the Face...

Congratulations bryango!! Join us on the Facebook page too.

Thank you for the info midinphx, I can use all the advice you are willing to give! I will take a look at the site you mentioned.

ATLRN0828, You have no idea how excited I was to see that email too!! How is everything going with your medical clearance and such? Did you already quit your job in preparation for all of your summer travels?

samm0705, I have a 5 yr old daughter that will start kindergarten in Texas also. I have been researching and putting out feelers for ideas of where to live. I was thinking that living closer to BAMC would make more sense, but have not decided yet. ...

I agree that this is totally inappropriate for so many reasons. I work in a NICU unit that encourages primary nurses, but our management team discourages this type of behavior. I know of a few nurses that over-step this boundary at times, but not t...

I think you need to decide if this is something that you really want to do. It will be difficult, as everyone has stated, with some obstacles that you wouldn't find in the civilian world. This was the one thing that really held me back for a while,...

Are there any AF NICU nurses out there that can give me some insight into career opportunities? I am interested in advancing but it seems as though that might be difficult with my speciality. Any words of advice?

I agree that you should inquire about commissioning.

Congratulations ERMags and rndiver82! Jenks7- congratulations to you too and I hope you get your COT date soon. Destiny2k5- I think you should try again. Don't let this get you too down, just think of it as a small obstacle and get everything read...

Hello all! Congrats to all the newcomers!! I continue to wait for orders so I can continue on this process. Otherwise just working on physical training. I just received an email from the flight commander for my unit in San Antonio. It made everyt...

Hi atlrn0828,I understand what you mean. I feel like there are a lot of people that I will not have a chance to see before I leave. Silly work keeps getting in the way of my social life! Of course I would not have much of a social life without work. ...

Hi all, How did everyone's commissioning ceremony go? I had mine on May 20th and it was perfect. My dad was able to swear me in with my two best friends and daughter in attendance. I could not have asked for anything better. Does anyone else pla...

Hi ATLRN0828, Heard anything?? I spoke to my recruiter today, but it is still a waiting game! The reason that I will reschedule my trip is so my dad can do the commissioning. If I am not approved to be commissioned then I will just try to schedule ...

Hey ATLRN0828,Still no news on my commissioning so I am starting to think I might need to reschedule my trip. Such a bummer, but what can you do, right? As for you moving overseas, I lived overseas several times while growing up and each one was supe...

Hey ATLRN0828, My recruiter told me that you can go to COT without being commissioned, they don't like to do that but it can be done. And it seems that the Scroll approval is one of those things that happens at various times. It is very confusing t...

ATLRN0828, I guess, from my recruiter's explanation, that the list of people to be commissioned goes before Congress for approval prior to anyone being commissioned. As I am re-reading my explanation I realize that it is about as clear as mud, but t...

RN4Life2, Congratulations on everything! And best of wishes for you at COT. I was just curious about your commissioning ceremony. Where did you have it and what did you wear? I know, such girl questions......but what can I say?! LOL. I'm sure t...

Hi ATLRN0828! I will be stationed at Lackland AFB after COT. I am feeling some pressure about the commissioning. I thought it would be nice to have my dad do the ceremony, which means a trip to Little Rock, and now Congress has not approved the scr...

I am scheduled for August COT also. I am nervous about a lot of stuff including the fitness portion. I am training but I still worry that I will be the one holding my flight back. Has anyone had their commissioning ceremony yet? Even with the nerves,...
