For everyone who is going to January BOLC, I look forward to seeing you there and I think I sent everyone a personal message so we can connect before we get out there. My coworker and I are coming from Ft. Gordon and leaving on monday. I am excited and I have been kicking up my PT so I can give that first PT test a good run.

Just an FYI for those wondering how to find out what is open for nursing slots and what you can do to make things more favorable to get the duty station you want, or find out your chances of getting what you want, please contact me and I'll walk you through it, its pretty simple. Im prior service AF and Army. Was/is an NCO Gunner and Tank Commander 03-07 2nd Platoon Bravo Co 2-72, got off of active in 07 to come here to UW-Milwaukee to get my 3rd degree. I am 5 months away from graduating with my BSN RN, I already know that my OBLC date is Aug. '11 and I already know my first duty station is Hood. I know the ins and outs of the Army, for me this will be a piece of cake. I suggest for the non-prior service you buddy up and find someone who is prior service bc there is a lot of info you need to know. For me it will be like PLDC, the prior service should be good about helping you out. Im going back in and going the CRNA route. Already spoke to the proper ppl and its all locked up. but yea any one have any questions contact me. I helped someone last year go through everything from start of the application process to her first duty station and allll the stuff in between. And trust me, the recruiter doesnt have your best interest at heart! I personally know a few recruiters and yea the Dark Side is real interesting! Good luck to those going to OBLC at Sham Houston, and no that isn't a misspell lol. Its called Sham Houston for a reason!! lol And always remember NCOs lead the way!! And I may be a nurse and future ArmyCRNA, but will always be a tanker at heart putting steel on target!!

To ArmyCRNA2B,

Thank you so much for your post. I have not been an active member on all-nurses, and this is my first post. I know you are due to graduate (if you haven't already), and I was wondering if you could help me. I am a Registered Nurse who has been in touch with an Army Nurse Corps health care recruiter, but I had to put the application process on hold due to some personal family matters. I am ready to resume getting my packet board ready, but the recruiter hasn't been answering my phone calls and e-mails. I saw your post and was wondering if you can help me. I don't have 15+ posts, so I am unable to send a private message. I am willing to get in touch, but I do not want to post my contact info publicly.

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!
