USAF COT 11-01

Published

Hello I'd like to start a thread for those who will be attending the 10/18-11/19/10 COT. Perhaps we could get to know each other before going. Sharing advice and thoughts ahead of time would be great.

I really don't remember why she said we needed them. I think any food items that you have in your room must be in zip lock bags, I think I read that somewhere.

That would be great, I am sure you have a pretty good one since you leave soon. I am not leaving until October and I am very busy so I know you are!! So if you don't get a chance to send it, no big deal!

I plan to chop my hair off for COT, its at the in-between stage now; too short for a bun and too long to keep down. I cut it several months ago and my recruiter said it was good so I will do it for class, then let it grow some after COT.

One thing I have not seen is a POA for spouses or other family member to have in case of emergency. I always had one for my husband when he was active and now have them for both sons who are active. I am going to get one drawn up at legal at the base for my husband to have just in case.

For all of you who commissioned on Friday, did you qualify for the Student Loan Reimbursement?

Sorry I can't help you, I signed for 4 years with the bonus.

I did the same thing. The information should be available from the recruiter or online. I want to say its a higher amount of yrs owed and lower bonus than that straight 4 yrs.

Found the facebook group, tried joining just waiting to be accepted ! I think it's great to get to talk with others who will be at COT with me before heading down there, kinda takes a little bit of the nerves out since I know others are experiencing the same things as me .
