    Hey all. Just curious- what can a junior army CPT do in the nurse corps? I know you can specialize but I think I want to stay a hotel. Is it true we can become clinic OICs at small bases? I can’t really get an informed answer from some buddies and it’s too soon for me to ask HRC or my CNOIC about it. Just curious what all we can do.

    Thanks!

    My CNOIC is a CPT, but I'm not sure how long he's been a CPT. I know others that are head nurses for clinics and TMCs. I'm at a MEDDAC. Also Brigade Nurse -- I know a few CPTs that are Brigade Nurses. When the time comes, you might want to check into the head nurse course at Ft. Sam (I think it's called the CNOIC/NCOIC course).

    Also, it's never too soon to ask your CNOIC about your career path -- they should cover some of that during initial counseling or mid-point counseling anyway. Assuming they do those counselings, of course!
  5. Most OIC's even at small bases are senior CPT's about to pin on Major in the next year or so. Yes, you can stay a Hotel your whole career. I have meet some COL's who are straight 66H's.
