    NTP bases??

    carolinapooh replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    How strange, then, that they'd TDY RNs to Lackland who are actually stationed at Eglin - unusually poor planning on the AF's part - someone at Randolph screwed up big time, I guess.

    AF bases that offer NTP

    I know searching stinks, so if you have a COT question for 10-04....

    carolinapooh replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    You actually don't need to submit receipts anymore. I had all my receipts and they didn't even take them. You're paid a set amount per mile and it's whatever the IRS is allowing; I think it's 50 cents...

    NTP bases??

    carolinapooh replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    That list still seems inaccurate to me, mostly because of where I hear people going on this board. And I still know four RNs who went to Eglin straight from COT, but came to Lackland TDY for NTP...

    What should I expect at SFRR in Atlanta?

    carolinapooh replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

    The OP's desperate, ya'll - I hope someone can help! To the OP - is your recruiter any help at all? Is there anyone he/she can call to clarify what's required? Can you call someone at your unit? I...

    I wore everything I was authorized, as did the other priors, which included the two Navy folks we had in my class. You earned them. Wear them. Half the people won't know what they are anyway, really....

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Technically you're required to maintain a mess dress as an officer regardless (not that everyone does, and they're pretty expensive so I don't blame them). On the Jeanne Holm Center home page they...

    ROTC vs Cot

    carolinapooh replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    They're all competitive, but the scholarship slots are especially hard to get because there aren't that many of them anymore. It used to be that ALL ROTC slots were funded, and everyone who went ROTC...

    Officer/Enlisted marriage question

    carolinapooh replied to southeastbends's topic in Government, Military

    The only way you'd be in his chain of command is if you were the OIC of the unit and he was a med tech or the NCOIC on that unit - and before that happened they'd reassign one of you

    Complicated situation, is this possible?

    You don't need to give up your Canadian citizenship; you just need a green card. I'm married to a Brit and we had to go through all

    NTP bases??

    carolinapooh replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    Actually, Wilford Hall will still be Wilford Hall - as a massive outpatient center. We already are SAMMC - we're SAMMC South, and BAMC is SAMMC North. SAMMC North will become the inpatient center,...

    Got my Orders! Army Reserves

    carolinapooh replied to Kathyporter's topic in Government, Military

    Which just proves all that garbage about the Feds wanting to save money through the new uniform transition was just that - more garbage....unbelievable.

    carolinapooh replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    They fit everyone horribly. I want to find out how to get on the uniform board - I know there's currently a first Lt on it - because those 1980s pants have GOT TO GO. At least you know you look as...

    ROTC vs Cot

    carolinapooh replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    ROTC guarantees you a commission if you (a) graduate, and (b) complete the ROTC core with satisfactory grades. It too is subject to recruiting and manning issues within the Air Force itself. My...

    NTP bases??

    carolinapooh replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    Which is strange because they'll spend their careers working for the Feds in Federal facilities (which for the most part are so far removed from the civilian sector it's like comparing apples to...

    Technically speaking, both are authorized through October of this year; I think the BDU officially disappears FY 2012. I like the way the ABUs fit (they fit SO much better than the old BDUs I...

    New NP in the military

    carolinapooh replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    My guess is you'd have to get it from your recruiter, because that sort of stuff is only accessible from inside the Air Force on the assignments

    They'll provide them, and you'll go into work in the uniform of the day - unless you get lucky and your facility lets you go in in PT gear (which I've been told some do, as long as you keep a uniform...

    They won't reimburse you - even though I was within my travel days when I got to Maxwell, they didn't reimburse me for lodging in Montgomery the night before COT started. Stupid. You can get there as...
