Hi Garifuna, I'll be leaving on Wednesday and will be there Friday. There is no early reporting for us newbies.lol. I'm just ready to get this going. Did you get all of the items on the packing list or do you already have most of it?

Lucky you. I wish you a safe trip there. I had to buy all the ACU's becasue When I was in the program I was still wearing BDU's. I did have my dress blues and PT's. For the most part I have everything I need I just have to pack my civilian clothes. Look here's my number(757-788-9578) if you have any questions and my Real name is Estacy.

Congratulations on your commission! My application will go before the board on the 19th. I'm hoping to be at the October OBLC. Curious...are you going in as a CPT? I have my MSN and 11 years experience but they said I may have to go in as a 1LT. I hope not!!! Hope to see you in TX!

I have 14 years an MBA and MS HCA and I also commissioned as a 1LT.

Congrats on the Commission!!!

I commissioned April 22nd. It took 2.5 months to get my orders and I am still sifting through more medical exams.

Heads-up. If you did not get blood drawn for an HIV test at "meps" or whoever did your medical screen.......HRC will "disenroll" you from OBLC.

Hope to see you at Oct OBLC

1LT Benton,

Thanks so much for your kind wishes!!!

Wow! That is a long turn around time.

I hope I dont have more medical to do. I had everything done including HIV so hoping I wont have to do anymore.

I really don't know if I will have orders by Oct OBLC. I'll keep hoping!

Thanks again and I too hope our paths croos at OBLC!!!! My thanks!!!

Yeah!! (I think?!) I was approved by the board last week but I am still awaiting a waiver. Who knows how long that will take. When it finally does come back... I will commision AR 1LT then CPT when I am AD. I still have my fingers crossed for October's OBLC even though it may be asking too much. Still looking forward to meeting you in San Antonio.... :up:
