Thanks! That makes much better sense than the answer I got :)

Awesome! Try searching COT 18-06

It's something the Air Force has had to start doing for about 2 years now. Basically it's some sort of approval of your name being placed on some "scroll" in DC. Maybe ask your recruiter about it.....

I made it! I'll be going to August COT if my scroll goes through in time. Has your scroll been approved yet? I hear this can take several months. On another thread someone has created a FB post for August COT Search AF COT 18-06

Great! I know there's another thread with a couple people going in August...they mentioned creating a group but I don't think they have. I've been selected and am suppose to attend COT in August as long as my scroll goes through. Has your scroll been approved yet?

I got word that I was selected!!! Expected to go to COT in August if my scroll goes through in time. Not sure of my first location yet :))

I will post if I hear anything!

The recruiter texted me Monday to say the boards are still suppose to meet this week as far as he was aware. No updates at all today. I've told myself I'll know by June 1.... and will be pleasantly surprised if I find out sooner lol

"New board schedule is up" ? You are referring to July? I'm not sure what that means but it sounds disappointing.

Hey!!!! :) Last I have heard they are still planning to meet the week of 13 May. I was asked to complete my background check packet in case I am selected so that can be ready to submit. My recruiter also double checked with me to make sure I didn't want to apply for a secondary area. Other than that I am patiently waiting and working on getting high scores for the PT test! Fingers crossed! It is a long process but getting soooo close!

YES! I was a bit hesitant to apply since I heard there weren't many positions but I REALLY REALLY would like to be in the OR so I thought I would give it a try. I'm really glad they have opened up the training opportunity, otherwise I was planning to apply to critical care. I am hopeful that if I am not selected at least I will be an alternate so I can apply again in the summer instead of waiting 6 months. Personally, I don't have much OR experience so I know that doesn't help me. Do you have much OR experience? I thought the perioperative consultant was very informative and helpful as well! So far everyone I have encountered has been awesome (even the people at MEPS). Yes fingers crossed! I hope they make room for all that are qualified! I am so super hopeful! I have been working towards this for a while....I can't think of anything else I'd rather do than serve our country! Oh... also, the latest I have about boards is they plan to meet 13 May(odd to me since it's a Sunday) and results to be released 18 May. I am counting on 1 June to know :)

I am all submitted to the April boards and am in the waiting phase. I have applied to the OR residency.

Any updates? I have learned I will need to do an interview with the perioperative nurse consultant. Yay for surprises!!! :) Also, received information there is no HPLRP funding for 2018.

HEY!!! I have seen your vlogs on youtube! Thank you for making those. They are very informative.

Let me know what your recruiter says about the positions open! Maybe mine was wrong (I'm in TN). Hopefully the numbers change to allow room for all the FQ applicants! Best of luck to you too! I will post if I hear any updates. Last the recruiter told me the expected date for the boards to meet is April 24 (let me know if you hear differently about this as well lol!) I'm telling myself I will know by the end of May. This may be the longest 8 weeks of my life lol!
