Graduate 2010, You might consider getting yourself accepted into a college that has ROTC and Nursing. This will get your tuition paid and get you a commission. I think this may ultimately be a...

Graduate 2010, I think that you have to be an RN to do STRAP, but I could be wrong. There may be other options available to you as well. I would talk to an AMEDD recruiter and make a plan,...

More on this...I know that MSN is your destination, but they will probably require you to get your BSN along the way if you are going in as a nurse.

I wouldn't go that way. I am a STRAP officer in the reserves getting my BSN. I got loan repayment in my contract too. All I had to do was ask. I would go Reserves, STRAP and loan repayment, but...

Probably 60 days. That how long my orders took.. Congratualtions!!

You can take a direct commission in the Army Reserve as an ADN and finish your BSN while you are in. Check out the STRAP program. That is what I am doing.

I suggest to search your soul and see where your thoughts and feelings are coming from. Being a self-proclaimed pacifist will definitely throw up a road block for you, as a matter of fact, it is a...

I am an 0-2 in the Army Reserve with an ADN. I am getting my BSN online through the Army STRAP program. It's a sweet deal. I get 1905.00/mo stipend and I am doing the healthcare loan repayment. ...

corvettels2, I was told if I go 1/2 time that I wouldn't be attached to APMC anymore and that I would be assigned to a unit. Are you attached to APMC and half-time? Thanks in advance for your...

Brian, I did the DODMERB physical too. It takes time...lot's of it...Be patient, but at the same time demand answers from your recruiter. Ask for his boss if you need to. Good luck and...

Corvettels2, I am wanting to switch to half time STRAP and you have already given me some great advice..thanks. I am attached to APMC, I asked one of the MAJs about it and she said "It is not...

Corvettels2, that's great. Is the unit that you drill with medical? The only one near me is a Transportation unit. I wonder if I could drill with them? Another question..are you using loan...

Thanks for the info

I am in STRAP now, but does anyone know if I have to stay a full time student. Can I go half time?

Welcome to the fold LT. Congratualations! I agree with Jeck on the 30-60 days, providing your recruiter got your packet HRC.

Make sure you are talking to an AMEDD recruiter. Whoever told you that you needed to go to a brick and mortar school is out of touch. DIC Harwould's info is right on the money though. ...

I am a STRAP nurse in the Army Reserve working on my BSN online. I also have opted for healthcare loan repayment. It is the common way to go. I am a full time student and I work full time as well....

Just make sure that it is meaningful and memorable to you. Mine was a simple, outdoor ceremony with friends and family.

I agree with your logic and hope it works out for you. Don't give up, even if you have to wait for the BSN to be complete. By the way, I grew up in Benton and am quite familiar with RLC. It is a...

All I know for sure, is if you are at all interested, you won't fare well by waiting for the recruiters to contact you. You gotta be on the top of there mind every moment from now on. The old...

I am a STRAP officer, 1st LT, in the Army Reserve. It's a pretty sweet deal. I commissioned May 26th. My orders just came through this week so I should be getting my stipend checks pretty soon. ...
