2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

Published

Hi everyone! Just curious if anyone has heard any news about when they are leaving for ODS and first duty station. For those that have recently graduated and gone to ODS, how long from graduation until you left for ODS? Just getting anxious and wanting ANY news!

Hey everyone,

I just graduated this May and negotiated orders with LCDR Gomez in April. I was told that I would be stationed at my first choice, San Diego. Although I was reading here on the forums that not people are getting that duty station. When talking to LCDR Gomez, did he say that SD was no longer available?

I just got my ATT a week ago and will be taking the NCLEX on June 12. Looks like I definitely will not make the June ODS.

Till then, I guess I'll be stuck working odd jobs.

So as I'm nearing my Date for ODS, I have a random question...the ODS website says to check in wearing "appropriate clothing." Would it be acceptable to wear comfortable travel clothing and flip flops or are they already picky about that stuff at check in?

You can pretty much wear what you want...just make sure you look decent.

You will have opportunities to wear civilian clothes late in training too, but you don't need a whole lot. You are limited in space within your wall locker. If you bring your car, you can bring as much as you want!

Hello Everyone!...I have been thinking about becoming a Navy Nurse and I would like to get some info about the whole process...As far as I know, one has to have a BSN or be in a BSN program in order to be considered for the NCP...The thing is, I'm a nursing student (ADN) I will graduate in August 2013...My plan for the future is to obtain my license in September/October 2013 and apply for the BSN program hopefully to start in January 2014....Did anyone start the process of becoming a Navy Nurse with an associates degree in nursing? I really would like to know how the process works if I started with the associates degree first....Thank you for responding to my post :)
