Does anyone have an idea of the process for a current activer duty AF nurse to move to position of flight nurse? Application? Additional training/school? Thanks,

thanks

Any other prior service who are not going to COT have their orders and report date yet? Wife was Commissioned end of June after scroll came out but still waiting for orders. I am just guessing that because she is bypassing COT and not typical situati...

Wife got call from recruiter said scroll approved and will swear in next Friday. Any idea how long orders take after that?

Wife received WL some time ago but report date was May 1 and that has come and gone with no word on a change. Recruiter took wife to base and she bought complete uniform. Now problem is next month she will need to go back and start attending Army Res...

Hey St.BaptistRN, I know you COT date is fast approaching, any news on scroll? Contacted our State Senators office to see if they can find out any info. Said they submitted a request for onformation and it could take a month to hear..

Nice to know you have someone who is "watching" the scroll, or even the fact that you can see the progress of it. Our recruiter doesn't seem to be that connected. Wonder if that person is your recruiters boss?

Thanks Eaglesfan, hard being patient but all we got I suppose. Did your recruiter provide a new report date or is that something that will happen after the scroll? Any idea how long orders take after scroll? Appreciate it.

Just curious Eaglesfan, did you get the scroll signed and are you actually reporting May 1st? Wife in same boat, recruiter said we are going to MacDill with May 1st report date but no scroll and no orders so here we are waiting. Thanks.

Hi Concomitance, wondering how you got commissioned before the scroll was signed? Wife's recruiter tried to swear her in with a Reserve scroll (she is active duty) but later told he that was not valid and now waiting for the scroll to be signed to do...

Thanks Eaglesfan, are you in the same boat as my wife, not going to COT but reporting to base? Is the delayed timeframe you spoke of your guestimate or the recruiters? Appreciate it.

Turns out that when wife was sworn in the recruiter didn't have the active duty scroll so he signed her in as Reserve. Now have to do it again for real. Now recruiter says we are waiting on the scroll for active duty and report date is still May 1 as...

Wife was sworn in last Friday, any idea when orders will come? Was sworn in reserve because recruiter said orders will come sooner, anyone hear of this? Has anyone heard about the scroll process and what role it plays in all this? Appreciate it.

Anyone have experience with housing at the base in Tampa Bay? Wondering if the actual time on wait list for base housing turns out to be what they say, currently 9-12 months. Anyone ever lived on base pam camp for any period of time either while wait...

We have been looking and looking at several bases till we knew where we were landing. The base housing at MacDill looks like some of the best out there and features we are looking at and reasoning for our thinking are: No travel thru gates and sounds...

Thanks, just got email from my wife sponsor. Still has not sworn in or gotten orders which seem to be required before you can get on the housing wait list? Wondering if years of experience on pay scale counts only previous Military which in this case...

Thanks jfratian, curious how long a person typically spends at their first assignment location and then what if any say you have in location for the next move? While we are waiting for the scroll and all that entails what can we be doing as far as re...

Have an answer to wife going to MacDill. Turns out she was not selected as OR but as Clinical. When she was informed that her selected area of Critical Care was not available they asker her preference between OR or Clinical and she choose OR. So when...

Wife is wondering how long after people were told they were selected did they receive their orders in hand and also have people taken the oath. Maybe the question really is the sequence of things and approximate timeline for things to happen. As it s...

Thanks jfratian, great info and I will share with her. She does have almost 4 years of critical care, do you think with that experience it could still be a valid site? The Chief Nurse aid something similar but that with her time in already she though...

Just an update on wifes situation, I talked to Chief Nurse at MacDill who assured me there do not train OR Nurses and thinks there must be something wrong with wifes placement at MacDill. Talked to the recruiter this morning for the first time and he...

Thanks [COLOR=#003366]jfratian[/COLOR], she has about 4 years ICU experience so now I am really confused. Are you pretty sure about the two sites being the only option for OR training? Will update when recruiter comes back online. Much appreciated.

Great information, wife going to MacDill for her three month OR training but as I research the Base it seems they have no surgical unit or any type critical care. My question now is where on or around the base will she get her three months of trainin...

Just heard from recruiter last night, I think he was more exited than we were, said he had always wanted to go to this base. Said wife is slated to report to MacDill AFB outside of Tampa May 1st. She will not be going to COT, guess since she did simi...

Thanks, like to hear about the experience. Wife thinks she might not have to go to MEPS because she is already in Army Reserve, anyone know more about that?
