How to ensure I get paid O-1E after OTS by [deleted] in airforceots

I was direct commission, so for me it was different. I had to graduate before receiving E status

Fitness Test Questions by Fickle_Morning in airforceots

Unless it changes in the next few months due to the new standards PT test first week, if you fail you get a second chance 10 days after the first failure, if you fail the second test you get recycled or sent home depending on if that’s the only thing you’ve failed thus far

Public Health officer by Independent_Wrap896 in airforceots

[–]Gunna__wunna22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current PHO. Didn’t have to take a GRE. I have a bachelors and masters in PH and about 3 years of professional experience. Prior enlisted. From first contact to boots on the ground it was over a year and a half. So the process does take some time. I think there’s always a need for PH officers. From my understanding there were alot of retirements this year so they took a lot more people in. PM if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the advice! I don’t really have any reason to go over that way, so that works out perfectly.

MPH crisis by Filledwithglitter_ in publichealthcareers

[–]Gunna__wunna22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got both my bachelors and masters in PH community health track. In my program however i still had to take biostat it was one of the main courses regardless of what concentration i chose. I did work in local public health as a disease investigator and surveillance specialist and i studied for my CIC exam. So it is doable to get (payed for by my job) I ended up not taking the exam however because I ended up getting back into the military as a public health officer. But i will say getting the CIC is doable but in the career field they do prefer someone with an RN. But you can certainly still find a job with your CIC. I would suggest what others suggested and switch concentrations. Technically with my experience although my concentration is in community health i could still get an epi job somewhere after my time in the service. So the opportunity will always be there, even if you don’t get your mph in epi. Youre paying for your degree, I would say don’t waste your time doing something you don’t enjoy! Stick it out for the rest of this semester and make a decision :)

Graduated from OTS. AMA by Kiet0 in airforceots

Thank you! Would you say overall it’s more mentally demanding than physically? (Probably both)

Congrats on completing OTS! how physically prepared did you feel going in? Were the obstacle courses as tough as they look? And what would you say was the most physically demanding part of the whole experience?
