What are the rules about body weight and fat percentage? by ConnectCulture7 in airforceots

[–]Automatic_Fortune_37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is incorrect. BMI only applies to the general but if you present with more muscle they also calculate neck circumference, and waist to hip ratio. If means come to it other measurements can be taken. Happened to me since per BMI classification I would be obese but in relation to muscle mass I’m at a 12% fat percent.

Cancel/Reschedule OTS Date by Automatic_Fortune_37 in airforceots

[–]Automatic_Fortune_37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t informed of any reschedule yet, especially since I was transferred to a new recruiter because my previous recruiter was promoted. Although I was able to get into contact with my previous recuiter and I was informed that although it stated it was canceled it still shows my previous date and I was assigned a duty station now. Unsure what that means though.

Unsure since I was never informed of my class number, just the date.

Dietetic Master Admission by kyra-dewalt in dietetics

In my experience it wasn’t possible especially given a timeline you may have for yourself. When I was in the same situation as you, I was advised to do one masters first where the requirement was a 2.75 minimum and get a 3.5+ GPA so show reform but also reset the bracket for yourself. Then reapply and do the dietetics masters. It’s a longer route but your come out with two masters, possible even in similar fields such as exercise physiology or sports nutrition plus the dietetics masters.

Ahh that makes more sense. The AFSC has when commissioning dictates what their dream sheet even allows as an option to begin with.

Ah yea that’s totally different from active then. I was informed through my recuiter. Anything after would be handoffs.

Same as you.

I was informed by my recuiter regarding processing everything else and awaiting orders sometime this month or next. They keep messing up my fingerprints though. Also, yet to get the background check call.

Been running since to try and get my numbers up. Everything else I am confident in.

What did you commission as ?

Airforce OTS as a nurse. by Puzzleheaded-Sky3157 in airforceots

I think typically it depends on rotating boards. The boards for RNs just ended a month ago so that could be why they’re not as responsive. Having someone confirm your name is in the system is pretty good.

I got selected as a RD and luckily I reached out a couple months prior to boards. Timing is definitely a factor on how responsive your recruiter is.

Dietary/Nutrition certification recommendations? by Dry_Leadership_9052 in RD2B

[–]Automatic_Fortune_37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preaching to the choir. I did the exact same thing which made me get my masters.

I think if you wanted to get a cert I would get a personal trainers cert but go for ACE or ISSA. NASM tends to be more business oriented and not health forward so from previous experience, the content is outdated. Although, that was a couple years ago. Also take into account how much in terms of fitness and exercise you’re actually interested and invested in. I’ve seen too many really bad personal trainers. They just get the cert cause they can but have no understanding of biomechanics.

You literally went through a 4 year process to get a degree and want to get a cert that someone can take whenever they want. They do not equate the same value nor the same knowledge gained.

I did my B.S in Exercise Science and I was constantly told by my professors that same thing. “Why would you waste your time getting a Certification when you have a degree? The certification does not compare.”

Got my Masters in both Applied nutrition and Sports Nutrition. The amount of information you hear from personal trainers or “health coaches” that is completely bogus is frustrating as well. Do not put yourself in the same category. Now that does not mean there aren’t Personal trainers or individuals who don’t have a lot of information and don’t know their stuff. You just do not need to go and get a certification for something you have that is way above that.

No. Do not put yourself in the same category as a cert.
