Thanks Pixie! I'm deployed right now and am bored out of my mind, hence the random research into medical missions. I'm finishing up an online class this week, but have no idea what I'm going to do the rest of the time I'm here!
Hello! Has anyone gone on a medical humanitarian mission (not via the military) while on active duty? If you have, did you use your own leave days to go? Who did you go with? Thanks!
I'm thinking about it! I remember when I was posting questions about BOLC! I'm an 8A now and am totally loving it (except they just put out that we can't sign for the ISP until a year after the course as 8As, because they're not counting our hours in...
I have a question: I know as officers we have a 2-year ADSO for using tuition assistance. However, I cannot find it written anywhere if the ADSO is concurrent or consecutive! Do you have any idea? Also, will the Tuition Assistance ADSO delay entry in...

It's for direct commissions (like me) who don't have prior military experience or take ROTC. From what I understand, it's just to teach you basic military...things for lack of a better word.

Lunah - I can now run 2 miles! The only problem is it takes me between 21 and 23 minutes :uhoh21: But I do run almost everyday and given that 2 months ago I couldn't even run a half a mile (and I had to stop running for 4 weeks because of bronchitis...
