I have been following the thread for FY 2013 Air Force nursing and realize that many of the clinical nurses, including myself, were made alternates for FY 2014. The only information I have received from my recruiter is that I will find out sometime i...

Is everyone getting ready for COT? Besides setting up the flight out has anyone made other arrangements? How is exercise going? We are getting close now!

Stozman, What is a "FB page"? If you google "Holm Center COT" you can find the inbound trainee site for COT. On crossfit, there are gyms in every city it seems like. I'm sure you won't have a problem googling crossfit Cincinnati and finding a gym

Great post Dreaming1007! The info is very useful

Candi2188, We are planning to have TMO move our things. My wife and I have enough on our plate for this first move not to do a TMO move. I will keep you posted on how the move goes in February. Nikidyo, Thanks for the info!

If I were to get an ID card now before COT it would be a "reserve" I'd card because we are on reserve status before COT. if one doesn't get an ID card before COT, then they can just get their active duty ID at cot. I don't plan on getting an ID card ...

I took the oath of office today, then bought the basic uniform items for COT on Buckley AFB. Next is COT in January and on to Travis AFB CA. Wgreene1952, I look forward to meeting you when you arrive to a Travis AFB as I am also going in as critical...

Has anyone got their security clearance back yet?

I am commissioning active duty but during the three month wait until I leave for COT, I have to commission into the reserves. I did talk to a reserve recruiter in case I was not selected for active duty. The application process for the reserves is si...

I am fq January COT

I signed the acceptance lettet today and my background check was sent. My recruiter says the check could take up to two weeks, then it's commissioning into the reserves and waiting for official orders. I will be stationed at Travis afb California. C...

Just wanted to cue selects into a new thread titled "Air Force Jan 2014 COT" here on all nurses so that those of us going to COT in January can all prepare!

As far as I known I will be attending cot in January. I am prior service enlisted Army. I want a heads up on the curriculum so I can be prepared. Have you started working on running, pushing, and sitting up? I am supposed to get my first duty station...

Ffemt, Thanks for the link to the military. Com checklists. They seem useful. Hang in there everyone still waiting to hear!

FYI my recruiter did not know my assignment yet and said that she will know next week. Next item is the background check

Call your recruiters!! results are out! My recruiter just informed me that I have been selected for critical care position. Leaving for COT in January! There is so much to do before than. We are keeping our condo as an income property and renting it ...

11 days! Im getting more impatient than a kid before Christmas!

jfratian, I can relate to your frustration. My first communications with my recruiter was 9/18/12. We have been at this Air Force commission so long!

aliseel25, Thank you for your post! This forum is most useful when we share information we receive from recruiters or other sources. What your recruiter told you is in line with what my recruiter told me when she drove me to my chief nurse interview...

Definitely hoping for January!!

Besides fitness I wonder what other ways we can prepare for COT? I am sure that learning land navigation and bruising up on drill and ceremony is a good idea. I wish or recruiters could give us updates on the board before the 21st.!

Hang in there everyone. Hopefully we are all selected and go to COT together in January! Bayern, I am 6 feet. 160 lbs. It sounds like the run is 50% of the PT well score and body composition, including weight is another 30%, so our ability to run/wei...

How is everyone holding up waiting for board results?

Midinphx, I am applying for a critical care position for the October board. My recruiter sent my info to ensure that I qualify for a fully qualified critical care position and the answer was yes. What is it like being a critical care RN in the Air Fo...
