Concomitance

He said someone way up the chain was talking to someone on the scrolling side. But as far as my recruiter is concerned for day to day basis, he can only see if it's been approved. I know your wife was supposed to report today. What has happened with that?

I'm still going active duty, I'm just waiting on my active duty scroll so I can make the May 22 COT.

I commissioned last Friday. My recruiter told me they've moved my COT date in the AFRISS system from Aug to the May 22 COT. Apparently the people above him who are watching my active duty scroll are confident mine will be approved in time for the May COT. I'm just hoping each day to hear it's been approved so I know for sure I'm going!

Still waiting on my active duty scroll. Reserve scroll is done, and security clearance is done.

Apparently scroll approval has been changed recently. My background check came back also, and my reserve scroll has been approved. I am just waiting on my active duty scroll. From what I can find online, it appears a scroll takes an average of 12 weeks start to finish, but take that with a huge grain of salt.

Here's some info on the scroll process: Explanation of "scroll" process and Timeline of events until receipt of COMDOCs | Page 8 | Air Warriors Basically, we are waiting for our scroll to get through Congress. This means we are waiting on various signatures that, once completed, will result in our commissions. Once our scrolls are signed and we have medically cleared and signed our contracts, we are able to swear in. According to my recruiter, scrolls tend to take a while, and there is no guarantee of timeline. He said they recently improved the process so now see "where" the scroll is, but he still does not know how long the entire thing will take. Once the scroll is complete, we have ten days to swear in. A conservative estimate, based on previous scrolls, would place the process at around three+ months. I would guess we will start hearing back in the beginning/middle of March.

hiestaec that has to be frustrating! I can't imagine how difficult it is to have your plans up in the air, especially with two children to think about. Hopefully this is resolved ASAP so you have some time to arrange the move!

Congratulations, nursynurse111! Awesome to see another ER RN get selected! We'll be going to COT together! Join our COT Facebook group. Search Facebook for: AF COT 17-06

Hi, Dream031224! Beginning with these past nurse boards, the AF Healthcare Recruiting Service is requiring that all nurse candidates have already passed MEPS before the board begins. We were granted an exemption from this rule, because they made the rule right before the November Board started, so it would have been impossible to get all those candidates through MEPS at the last second. However, moving forward, all future boards require candidates to have already cleared MEPS. As for NICU locations: JB Langley, SAMMC, Landstuhl, Kessler MS, Lackland TX, Travis CA, and Kadena Okinawa.

Awesome, tdunlap913! Nellis is a great base. You'll love the area as well. We'll be going to COT together. I just created a closed Facebook group for our class. Search Facebook for AF COT 17-06, and request to join.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Alxnd261. Are you able to reapply?

It was number three.

Just spoke with my recruiter! Officially selected as an ER/Trauma nurse! My COT date is Aug 14th, and my first base is Wright-Patt in Dayton, Ohio!

Yes. I asked him specifically what information he'll have when he calls, and he said he will let me know my COT date and what base I'm assigned to after COT.

Congrats, Eaglesfan82! Where was that on your dream sheet order? I spoke to my recruiter today and he said names are slowly moving over in the system, so he's hoping to hear my selection, COT date, and first base in the next 2-3 days!
