Congrats and best wishes. Are they sending you to Lackland for 2 weeks as a refresher? Are there any advanced tech training schools on your orders before going to your assignment? I was in.

I’m still applying. At first I was worried, I’ll be 47 next month and the age limit is 47, but with prior service that’s not gonna be a problem. My particular recruiter says he’s yet to have a nurse applicant turned away. So sometime early next year I hope. With prior service I’ll go as a Captain.

It takes months, becuase they have to place you into classes, differnt from what we did at Lackland. And processing takes awhile. Alot longer than enlisted.

And yes, without hospital experince nurses go to a 10 week course, otherwise you just get assigned immediately after OTS. Not a bad deal cause they guarantee a base you pick on a list of 5 so long as they need nurses at your choices. With the shortage all of them practically do.

I’ll go to Maxwell for OTS for 4 weeks. MD’s, lawyers, chaplains and nurses go to the short OTS course. It’s 6 weeks for everyone else.

Thanks to all for the well wishes!
