   SBSN, Everything's gonna end up ok. The Feb. ODS class is full (per my detailer) and they're filling April right now. Whichever way it turns out, you'll have enough time to turn in your two weeks notice. Good luck.

   Hi Wheaties. The application process can take a while. The earlier you start it the better. Talk with a recruiter and get the ball rolling. Good luck.

   Hi SKling. I hope ODS hasn't been too rough. Don't forget to post about your experience whenever you you're "free" at ODS. I'll be at ODS a day after you graduate. Lasarazen from Allnurses is in the same ODS class as you. Bye for now.

   I have a question on "mileage": If I drive to ODS from Atlanta, will I get paid for "mileage"? Or will I only get the current rate if I drove from ODS to my permanent duty station? Thanks.

    Hi Traumasaurus. When I did mine, my recruiter told me what she wanted and I just followed her lead. You would need to provide everything from your birth cert, SSN card, transcripts, proof of certification, etc. Then of course, you'll be finger-print...

    Thanks for the info HM3. Sometimes one can never be sure what to believe when speaking with recruiters etc. My detailer wants me to decide on a location so she can put it in the system even if I'm waiting till next April.
