Hi,
Wow, you are 24 and already have a BSN and have been stationed for three different tours? With a year between each?

How does this work? My reason is that I will be shipping to my first base soon and have three cats that I am arranging for a foster in case of trainings and/or deployments. I hadn't thought that I'd be away from them just "that" much.

Looking forward to your reply.

lol, i went to sicily, spain & kuwait during one tour. i had a rare 2 yr active duty enlistment. we were supposed to just be in sicily for 6mos but the onset of the war in 03 extended us & brought me to rota & then kuwait. i still have 1 more yr til my BSN.....can't wait!!!!!

Well I've been stationed at Naval Medical Center San Diego.
I'm going on deployment with the USS Peleliu 28 MAY 07. We are doing a humanitarian mission in south east Asia. Not sure on the countries specifically just yet. I'll keep all of you updated!

Heya neighbor!
I went to UIC for one year and have lived in the Southwest suburbs for most of my life. Born in Chicago and lived here too. My undergrad is from St. Xav's, my Associate from SSC and I've worked at Christ, South Suburban Hospitals in the South Suburbs. Oh yeah, also took my EMT at St. James Hospital through Prairie state college in Chicago heights too!

O.F. graduate.

p.s. my mom and sis and neices are still South suburbanites
