1. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

   Weebils-Wobble replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism

   So are Supreme Court appointees, declarations of war, and funding for the wars so declared. .....You can't pick which ones you want to be responsible for depending of pulic opinion polls afterwards. They are all accountable collectively.

2. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government

   Thanks for the link, Since I have more school to do, an age waiver is the thing. Everything I've seen says that the Guard can only waive up to 35 y/o for a commission. A warrant officer goes up to 46(I'm 44)but you must complete WOCS before 46. I w...

3. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

   Weebils-Wobble replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism

   Kevin, Bob, Excellent response to political terrorism. Congress is ultimately responsible for funding our military anyway. If the troops don't have body armor or anything else, blame the in-fighting in Congress to try to weasel pork onto the bill. ...

4. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government

   I guess I had the wrong impression. I thought I had a straight-forward question. I tried to not put anything too controversial in it but wanted to provide a little background information. The only one that posted did so because they took exception ...

5. Age Discrimination

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government

   46 1/2? Where can I look at that info? The Army Guard extended PA to 39 y/o and I'm 44 this year. I didn't think they would have different standards for nurses since they all have to pass OBC anyway. Your height/weight should pass bf analysis. Hav...

6. Age Discrimination

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government

   BTW, I'm an Army National Guard medic. It took me a 1 1/2 years of training through injuries to get to this standard. I was at 235,20 push-ups and 14 sit-ups when I started. I now pass bf analysis at around 210 and do better than some soldiers hal...

7. Age Discrimination

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government

   There is a waiver for anything but you must be to physical standards. Example: I'm 5'11" and my weight limit is 192 lb. Since I am an older male and have muscle, I haven't seen 192 in about 15 years. The Army National Guard uses bf analysis to decl...

8. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government

   Well, Am I banned yet? Speaking one's mind is usually fatal in nursing. I tried to post a more specific question so I could avoid off-topic discussion but I can't post a new thread. I understand why nurses would feel protective of nursing theory but...

9. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

   Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government

   BTW, Is there such a thing as a military nursing school? If there isn't, why has nobody mentioned that? It would explain the lack of response to the original question. I often take for granted what I perceive as obvious as being automaticly included...

10. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government

    Caring for and about patients is not really all that complicated. Not only would I make a good nurse but I would excel apparently. I take knowledge for granted that it takes nursing programs years to teach. I see no reason for such tedious focus ...

11. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government

    While we're on this subject, I think we'll agree on this - whose bright idea was it to allow folks to FLY on civilian aircraft in uniform? These people were not attaches or anything - they were returning from basic (you know how they stand out!). You...

12. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government

    Carolina, Yes, I agree, I am overstating. I was trying to set a tone. Certainly saying that Army PAs work in tents is not going to give any useful information to an Ear. Certainly if they ever get half a clue and learn that mortars can be aimed an...

13. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government

    There is nowhere "safe" for a uniformed member of the military.

14. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government

    With all due respect; so do the insurgents. They want the most valued targets. An officer is certainly on that list.

15. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble posted a topic in Government

    All, I'm a 91W in the reserves planning my next career move as I approach 60 college credits. I have been to a civillian nursing program but found the dominance of psychosocial curicculum to be disapointing. There is so much more to being a nurse ...
