Anyone out there seeking a commission after graduation??

Published

I have been in the navy for 9 years as a Hospital Corpsman (4 years active, 5 reserves). I am very much looking forward to becoming a Nurse Corpse Officer after I graduate. I'm as excited about receiving a commission as I am about becoming an RN. I start my BSN program this summer, and will graduate in 2005!! Is ther anyone else out there looking at joining the military after graduation?? Just curious.:cool:

KC.. Here is a link to the Air Force COT program.. It is 4 weeks...

The medical version of OBC (officer basic course) is 12 weeks long and is considered a "gentleman's course". You do have to pass a PT test but none of it is really "in your face". If you don't have any prior military experience then you are required to do 2 additional weeks prior to the start of your "cycle". I have a friend who attended last fall and a friend who will attend this fall. AMEDD OBC is in San Antonio, TX. Also have a friend who is going into the navy but am not so sure about that.
