DEL1VRD, I am scheduling TMO at this time. They told me that a minimum of one week noticed is needed if in the local base area. I live outside the base area, so it will take about 2 wks for scheduling pack and pick up. They will pack everything and you are to only pack what is going with you/family members. I only received my orders about 2 1/2 wks before I was scheduled to be at COT. My recruiter took me to get some of the uniforms. We did not get everything on the list due to somethings are seasonal or optional. He told me to get the rest at COT because they will let me know exactly what I will need.

I took my oath last week. Now just getting things ready for the move.

The COT website is still down but my spouse found this 2009 COT list. This may not be most current but it will give us an idea of what we need and what to expect. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxiZWZvcmVjb3R8Z3g6MWNhNzFhNDY1YzhlYTcxNg

Freedomfocused, I am going in as a 1st LT and have 5 yrs experience as a BSN. I believe my recruiter said I was 1 yr shy of captain. I hope that helps.

Mattl You can work towards what you want to do if you let your superior officer know. I would like to go into a specialty field in the AF but at this time I am not qualified. When I had my CN interview, he told me that what I would need to do is let my superior officer know what my goals are. If they know what your goals are then they can put you into positions that can help you reach your goals.

Mattl I agree with jfratian. I applied fully qualified and still had to apply twice. It is better to get the process started as soon as possible. Talk to a Healthcare Recruiter. I didn't know the difference and when I first considered the AF, I got the wrong information due to talking to a non healthcare recruiter. I think going in as a single adult would be a little easier than going in with a family. I will miss my daughters birthday because I will be in COT. Being away from family for several weeks at a time will not be easy but another part of the challenge of the military. My aunt's sister retired from the military as a nurse. She really enjoyed military nursing. I know several people that served in the AF and they really enjoyed their experience. Good luck on you decision.

Brewmedic, No. My recruiter said that the website is under constructions which is also what it says when I try to log in.

It looks like I will be joining all of you for COT and then off to Little Rock AFB. I hope the days go by quickly but that I will be ready in time.

It looks like March COT and Little Rock AFB.

Candi2188 The positive is you will be near the B2 spirits. The negative is the humidity. It is a good area that is close to farm land and an Amish community. Other than the humidity, it is a good place to live.

Yes that is not the list for this board. Last board some people didn't hear the same time as others. I don't know if it is necessarily based on select or non-select status. Remember that it was Friday afternoon when people started getting the calls. I got my call after 5pm. If your recruiter wasn't in the office, he may not know yet what your status is. Keep up your spirits. I know the wait is difficult. I was an alternate last board. When I first started this process over 14 months ago, I was told that it can take over a year to get in. The wait has been worth realizing my dream. Hoping you guys get good news.

To the Selects, Here is a link to Military.com checklist for relocating due to orders. It is very detailed but could be helpful for when we find out our assignments. PCS Checklists for Your Move | Military.com

I am MedSurg. Congratulations to those that have heard. I hope for those that have not heard that you will hear good news.

I also have been selected. Will not know COT or assignment till next week.
