if you're going to have a sponsor you should know who it is during COT- they should contact you before, hopefully, but maybe not. i'm currently at keesler and went through ntp in april of this year and never had a sponsor. no one else did that i went...
i'm from atlanta too!! the humidity is worse here because of the water, i couldn't believe it! at least you'll be used to it though. there are some decent apartments near by and you could probably find a house if you knew where to look. i didn't kno...
i think getting to europe as your first assignment is pretty hard. especially if you're a new nurse- but don't quote me on that. biloxi/keesler is pretty nice. the on base housing is all brand new and is beautiful! i live off base but i know a few p...

thanks! i won't turn it down since i don't know if i'll be going back to school- just curious what the options were. i know i have to stop by the housing office or something at keesler before signing any contract for housing but will they point me in...
I have two questions- 1: If I initially turn down the GI bill is there any way to get it back later? I don't know now if I'll ever go back to school, but I don't want to turn it down and kick myself later. But on the same note I don't want to pay in...
that's what i was thinking, midinphx. i just didn't know if the trip back to the base would be worth it especially if i could get it done at maxwell. perhaps i'll make a trip tomorrow so i can just go ahead and not worry about it anymore.
on a different subject, i bought almost all my uniforms already and the blues pants/skirt have been tailored length wise but are definitely too wide(and one pair of the pants is slightly shorter than the other pair which is driving me mad). is that f...
