    Need4Speed-- thank you for all of the info and assistance. I just in processed with my unit, and still waiting to get in touch with the training NCO. I figured out today how to enroll for phase 1. I'm going to try it at home tonight; I will let you ...
  2. Army Reserve OBLC (April 2013)

    Wow, did not realize it would take so long to get orders to go to BOLC. I was just inprocessed to my TPU and will start drilling in May after an excused absence for April drill. My training NCO has not gotten back to me regarding training/courses. I ...
  3. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    Thanks, Lunah! I have seen those boots listed, but they always list the caveat of not being approved. It has made me nervous to try them. I may give them a shot. Maura
  4. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    I have already commissioned. This is a sign on bonus that is provided upfront to nurse anesthetists. I am not as concerned about when I receive the money; although it was told to me repeatedly that I receive it upon commissioning when all of the pape...

    I commissioned over 6 weeks ago. But thanks for the info.
  6. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    No, I get my bonus before BOLC. This has been repeatedly asked and answered. It's a sign on bonus. I just would be surprised to get it before my orders.On another note: I am looking for places to go and try on women's combat boots. My local army surp...
  7. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    If you remember, I am joining the reseves as a 66F. I still have not received my orders either. My recruiter said they have been requested, so I just have to sit and wait. He said I should actually receive my bonus money before my orders, which I fin...

    Well, my age in grade waiver finally went through. I commissioned today and am now a member of the Reserves as a 66F (pending all the background checks, security clearances, etc.). Hope that those who are waiting hear something soon.
  9. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    I see now that u said wait, not waiver. I think you are fine. You are in, they just have to do paperwork. They wouldn't bother if you weren't selected. Unless there is some huge hiccup with your security since I do not know your personal situation, I...

    Lizzardmommy,I would take it as it states. You were selected, pending waiver. I am also selected pending waiver. Mine is just an Age in Grade waiver for being "too old" for my assigned officer grade. Once the waivers are in then we will be set to com...

    To be clear, if you are referring to me, I am not USAGPAN. I am already a CRNA. This is a direct commission to join as a 66F in the Reserves. I hope all of you hear good news soon.
  12. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

    Thank you. I graduated from the number 3 school for nurse anesthesia, but I know the training pales in comparison to what I would've learned had I gone the Army route from the get go. But life choices get in the way, and the military was not an optio...

    Yes, I know a great deal about Rush, as I am about to graduate from their accelerated BSN program. Rush does have a scholarship program for BSN students in which they will pay your tuition in return for working at the medical center on a unit in nee...
