Corvette, oops, duh! See what happens when you type while intubating a patient! Okay, so then my question about the Army goes to you. What made you choose that branch and do you need a Masters to see 0-4? I plan on getting mine but it seems like the ...

OK, I see folks are looking but not replying... seriously, what type of ICU work goes on in the military outside of the obvious military mishaps and combat related stuff.... I mean, how many heart attacks on Nirtro can there be?

Wow, thanks man! I thought I'd never get that figured out! Who is this person and how in the world does she know the order? I'm currently chewing on some info I found about making O-4 and it being a Master's degree requirement in th USAF... freakin W...

Oorah... right back atcha devil dogs... I did 6 with the wing and now I'm trading up my Cpl to 1st Lt in USAF. How do you guys incorporate your medals/ribbons from "the suck" into the Army salad? I never found a way to list the USMC/USN awards into ...
I am finishing up on my paperwork for my application to USAF RN and wonder what sort of things I'll be doing for the AF... I currently work in a civilian ICU; mostly geriatric MI's, CVA's, pneumonias, GI bleeders etc... common stuff for the elder fol...
