Hey guys/gals I'm just wondering if their is anyone applying for this upcoming fy 2016 for direct commission into the navy. I guess I should have mentioned that I was referring to the nurse corps.
Hello USNHM2RN, BSN, I know this is an old thread, but I came across your post while searching for more information on Fort Belvoir. I am in the NCP program and am set to go up to Newport in April (hopefully moving that up to February as I graduate in two weeks and plan to take my boards in November). My story is a little different from yours as I will be a brand new nurse, but I just found out I will be heading to Fort Belvoir after ODS and am very curious about the hospital, the base, the lifestyle, where to live- absolutely everything and was very excited to find you! Would love to hear about your experience and am open any info/advice you may have!
Hi romv3896,
Ah exciting!! Congrats on Portsmouth!! I called a few minutes late and ended up being one of the last picks, but I'm excited for Fort Belvoir/the DC area regardless. I'm surprised by my April ODS date as I was always told Jan/feb- hopefully I can find something to do in the meantime. I haven't talked to anyone else in our cohort, but it would be good to get some form of a group going!
Hi ladors!
Oh my gosh! I'm excited for you! From what I've heard, that's a really nice area! Yeah, it's a solid 4 months between my graduation date and ODS. I'm still debating what to do in that timeframe..
In regards to forming some kind of group, that's a great idea! We're not a big group, so it shouldn't be too hard to get in contact with everybody!
I'm so excited to go to ODS!!
I invited everyone by email, but not sure if it went through

I am curious...For anyone who was still interested in active duty, were you not picked up? Do you know why? You can PM me if you prefer.
