USAF COT 10-04

mobro has may cot. There are a couple people doing NTP in Scottsdale that are in the January Cot. nursejess is one of those.

So there are some folks for you to look out for.

Phoenix/Scottsdale in June = hot (110*). July starts monsoon season and it gets hot and muggy with some really great storms! No worries though.... we have airconditioning!

i'll see you in may cot! i go to keesler for ntp and duty station though. i'm excited to see another may person!

I'll be happy to answer any questions you guys have about COT and NTP in Scottsdale. I leave for COT on Monday so when I'm finally back on allnurses, don't hesitate to ask in a thread or PM me! I know how much good information I got from people like CarolinahPooh on Allnurses, and I would love to do the same for everyone else:)

I was hoping for May, but was told that October or even next year is a possibility....

hey HNELLA...

i was told January initially...then it was March... and well, it turned out to be May. i guess it's because of the overwhelming amount of people that joined this fiscal year and the end of the last one. be patient is all i can say. keep yourself busy... good luck!

yeah.... i was hoping for may then it turned ti aug and now oct with the hint of 2011. I guess I will go with the flow. I cannot control when I start so I will live my life until I am called...

That's a good thought process HNella. I was told from the beginning I would go in January if I got my paperwork in. Packet was done in October. I'm still waiting. I have had no word, though my recruiter is great and keeps being encouraging. I figure I'll go sometime. Somedays it is really hard to wait. My friends gave me a consilation prize of a trip to Vegas to distract me! lol. That is in 2 weeks and it does help to plan something else for a bit.

i signed my acceptance letter and faxed it. i guess that seals the deal? or is it commissioning that seals it?

Nope, you've accepted their offer. Unless something drastic occurs, you're in!

CONGRATS!!!

thanks carolinapooh. btw... i think i've read most, if not, all of your posts on this forum. and they were all enlightening. reading your posts really helped clarify a lot of things that i felt were hazy when i started this journey. :)

Just curious... when did you do the oath?

hey HNELLA-

i have only signed the letter of acceptance that tells me my COT and assignments. i haven't commissioned yet if that's what you mean.
