I am in the process now. I am also prior enlisted and just got selected for 66H (although my numbers may be off on the weeks). If you apply to a direct commission, you will not be going to an officer candidate school (OCS). However, you will attend the direct commission course in Fort Sill. This is 4 weeks long. Then you will go to Ft Sam, Houston where you will attend the basic officer leadership course (BOLC). I believe it is 7 weeks with 2 weeks being nursing specific.

I am currently active duty in the guard serving as supply. I’ve already had 368s signed but just waiting to see how my army packet goes. I’ve been ng reserve since 06 and active duty since early 21. Thanks for the response.

Hi! I am in New Mexico as well. No advice on the active duty nursing but I am curious if you could get me in contact with your recruiter. (If so PM me) I don't have alot of experience (1 year and 2 months) yet but I am currently AGR with the NMARNG and interested in active duty nursing options. I actually am already applying for the board in NOV Army wise. I am kind of curious if I have met you in the NMARNG! There is definitely something about military service that you either love or hate and it sounds like your heart is in the right direction. It is always scary going into something new but looks like you have thought through alot of the hurdles of active military service. I wish you luck and please let me know if you get it!
