Navy Advancement Past O4

just_cause, BSN, RN · Nov 9, 2008

In all branches it is possible for those of the 'nurse corp' to become generals and YES passed 04.

At this point I would say in your military job you just do well and more importantly 'don't make a huge mistake' over time it will be very easy to make 04 as a successful officer.
