   An officer is a leader? That hasn't been established quite yet! LOL. I'm sure I'll learn all about that and saluting at COT if I advance on with this. Military and nursing experience aren't really comparable nor does one elevate above the other. ...

   Hey camo, I totally understand what you mean about respecting a rank before it's awarded and building leadership qualities. With that said, they're going to diminish the average experience of nurses that they hire since more seasoned nurses may not...

   Hey camo, my sign on bonus that i was told about also became ineligible but I had been warned not to rely on that because recruiters are usually FOS when they mention those (I was actually warned that recruiters are just FOS period). So I wasn't too ...

   They cap you off at 3 years now so it doesn't matter how long you've actually been a nurse once you reach a certain point. I requested a copy of the policy but he has still neglected to send it to me. I also asked him how it's been in effect for so ...

   Thanks jf, I'm definitely going to ask for a copy of the policy. My initial post had a typo. I've been an RN for 8 years but he told me it would take another year for me to promote to captain. So I'm basically repeating senior year even though I've...

   Thanks dreaming, I figured the reason revolved around the training date somehow but wanted to ask and be sure.

   So he just responded to my e-mail questioning the calculations. He said that last fiscal year, I would have been appointed captain but the AF policy has changed since then. They now cap off at 3 years no matter how much experience you actually have...

   Pixie, you make a great point in stating that I need to hold him accountable. I have left a message and e-mail for him and am awaiting response, but I'm also very guarded to believe anything that he tells me at this point. I obtained a BSN in May 2...

   Hi Pixie, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I actually had a typo in my original question in that I have 8 years of experience. Not 7. So I don't understand how I don't qualify for captain at this time, much less why it would take another 12 ...

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and I come seeking input on a problem. I have no prior military experience and 7 years of civilian nursing. I signed my commissioning contract last week and said my oath. I commissioned as a captain, which is what I'd ...
