Army Reserve OML FY2017

Specialties Government

Published

Hello!

I am starting this thread separate from another thread that has been posted on numerous times. I recently heard from my nurse corps recruiter that they would soon be pulling selected people off the OML and commissioning them within the next couple months or so. We are currently half way through the fiscal year and this is apparently when the army starts to make decisions on their current needs to complete the army nurse corps new officer spots for that year. Just a reminder, the OML list is made of officer candidates that were selected to commission but were not offered a spot at that time. As I recall, there were a decent amount of us in this position after the November and December boards! I personally am on the OML list after the December boards for a 66H and am from the Nashville, TN area :)

If you leave a comment below, you will get updates when others post on here! Feel free to share anything you hear from your recruiters, peers, etc.

Good luck to all!

Was anyone given a OML number? My recruiter said they don't know my number.

Thank you! I am hoping I get picked up quick. If not, I may switch back over to 66S, because I have two years as a float ICU nurse. 

I am not sure if you can flip like that without your CCRN and without your packet going to the board via the 66S pathway - similar paperwork like what you had to submit for 66T proficiency is usually required for 66S as well, and CCRN is really the gold standard. Of course, I commissioned like 10 years ago and I was active duty, not reserves, so things might be different ... LOL. But talk to your recruiter for sure. ?

Thank you for all the help and answers! I will wait and see and hopefully get picked up soon. My recruiter originally wanted me to do 66S but I wanted 66T LOL. Egg on my face LOL.

I was a 66T (formerly called 66HM5), I get it. ? I did some critical care while deployed, but I am always an ER/trauma nurse at heart!!

My MSN right now is specialized in emergency medicine/trauma acute care. I love it over critical care....just a little quicker for me.

Good morning everyone, 

I don't know if anyone else is still on OML, however, I found out my OML number which is #8. I was told they will be pulling another 16 off the list soon. What is the next step after completing this select. I have already passed MEPS with no issues in October. I am Army Reserve, 66T (Emergency nurse).
