   No you can use whatever shoe you want. We all had various kinds of shoes. If you were in OCS or something they want regularity, but for ODS, they are more lenient. Get shoes that you will wear and like after ODS! Keep those questions coming!

2. Navy Officer Nurse Corp

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   Welcome to the military. Hurry up and wait. Don't be discouraged. It will all work out when it is supposed to. At least if March is what happens, it should be WARMER! I went October-Nov, and it was cold toward the end. Let me know if there's anythin...

3. Civilian ER Nurse wanted to join Navy Nurse Corp with Marine Officer husband

   jordaa replied to darracott6's topic in Government

   Hi! I will try to answer a few questions based off what I have learned. First Navy ODS isn't like OCS at all. ODS is for commissioned officers, you aren't going to lose your commission and you won't flunk out unless you do something really really d...

   Hey sassy sailor, will try to answer your questions here and the ones you PM'd me with. Supposedly I cannot send PMs as of today, I dont know what's up with that. But I can post here too. I think that the time you do your PT test varies on the class...

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   I am not sure about the age limit for the navy, or what they do about commissioning single moms. I think the biggest thing is that you have a family care plan in place, which is a document that shows that you have a plan for your child if you are dep...

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   Hey! Glad that you wrote. Let me try to answer your questions. After the board met, my recruiter called me two or three days later telling me that I had been selected. Getting my letter was a little bit of a fiasco. I was waiting to get my commission...

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   How is it going sassysailor and lubdubRN with the board dates? I'm curious to see when you are headed to ODS. I've been at my command at the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda for a month and a half, and it's going pretty well. Let me know if ...

8. Navy Officer Nurse Corp

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   I'd agree with that. Once the board meets, the results were pretty fast. My recruiter told me it would be a week, and it ended up being a day. It just took a long time to actually get my packet together, and then the board didn't meet right away. So ...

9. Navy Officer Nurse Corp

   jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

   It all depends on when the board is meeting. When I originally submitted my packet there was supposed to be a board meeting the next week, which got postponed for 2 weeks. Once the board met, I got a phone call from my recruiter about 2 days later, a...

10. Completed ODS off to Camp Pendleton...

    jordaa replied to pedsBSN-RN's topic in Government

    Welcome back! I am headed to ODS this weekend (hopefully... it's a little dicey right now with timing on my commissioning papers). Do you have any helpful tips on what to bring, and what not to bring. I know there is information on the ODS webpage, b...

    jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

    Just for you all to know, Southern Belle and I are commissioning around the same time and headed to ODS together. We will try to update you all after ODS about what goes on. Things are a little dicey right now with commissioning documents, and I am ...

    jordaa replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government

    Thank you to LTJG PM and LT Dan for answering so many questions on these threads. I have come to these forums the past few months as I have put together my packet for the Navy. I've been a nurse in civilian world for 3 years and decided to join the N...

    jordaa replied to DanznRN's topic in Government

    Lt. Dan, Thanks for all the great information you put on this forum and all the forums! I am currently in the application process to join the Navy Nurse Corps. My packet finally made it to the board and they are meeting this week! I will hopefully h...
