  1. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    I'm really glad that they honored your contract. I would definitely say the majority do and I have been told that they may revise or redo my contract to allow me the retention bonus but it will only cover about half that I owe and tac an additional y...
  2. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    It's not just me. I've spoken to 3 others that had similar stories. My point with this is just for the people joining to be aware that your contract is not a contract. It is more of a written promise that can be modified at the military's discretion ...

    My case specifics are as follows. I was required to pass DCC and BOLC. Check! No issues there. Get pass on my APFT. Check! Turn in all required documents within 6 months of BOLC. Check! 2 weeks after my documents are turned into I receive an email sa...
  4. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Can you clarify? Not sure what you mean by "what happened to you" and what made my case different? Thanks There are actually quite a few others I have talked with were they attempted this but the other officers were able to get it resolved although t...
  5. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Yes you can only do one or the other. I picked the hplrp. I figured getting my student loans paid back was more than enough and was very thankful for that. All paperwork was turned in on time and per the surgeon general's office requirements. They ar...
  6. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Is anyone here taking an accession or retention bonus? If so, just be aware that they still do not have to honor that what is put into the contract. I was given time credited to rank to First Lieutenant right after bolc and the hplrp. They are denyin...
  7. Army FY 2019

    I would like to correct myself a little here. I misspoke when I said "most will do a few voluntary weeks". In actuality this only happens to one DCC class per year. So, basically there are 2 classes per year that end up having 3 weeks between DCC and...

  11. Seeking Info

    I'm going to respond to this as I am currently in AMEDD BOLC. So after talking to your recruiter they will start a packet. During completing this packet you will go to MEPS for medical clearance. Once this packet and MEPS is complete your packet will...
  12. Army Nurses - DCC/BOLC

    Hi! I commissioned April 6th as a 66T and am just waiting on my orders now. Did your PCS for Tripler come with your orders or did you get that later? I'm getting conflicting stories on what to expect.
  13. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Thanks for all of your input, it helps me a lot! Was graduation on a Friday? If so did you have the weekend off to spend with family before your 2 week track?
  14. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Thanks for the info that helps a lot. I can't seem to find much information on AMEDD BOLC graduation. Was it outside or inside? Is it kind of like a college graduation or more like basic training graduation? Can families attend?
  15. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Did you notice if a lot of people were PCS'd to a post that was on their list of top picks or were most people sent else where?

    Hello Pixie,RN! I have recently been accepted as a 66T and will be commissioning soon and headed to DCC and BOLC this summer (hopefully). Do you know if healthcare benefits for my family will start when mine do or if they will have to wait? Thank you...
  18. Army Nursing

    Agreed! I went through 3 recruiters before I found one that actually new what he was talking about. I had 2 different ARNG recruiters tell me that they don't even offer direct commissioning, which is completely false. Also, do research on your own so...

  22. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    Were you able to utilize your cell phone in the evenings while at DCC? I am married with children so I'm just curious if i will be able to have regular contact with them during that 4 weeks. Also, when you say PCS information was gone over in the fir...

    Does anyone know if they do a graduation ceremony after bolc is completed? Do you leave for your new duty station immediately after or are you at ft.sam awhile longer after graduation?
  24. Army Active Duty FY18

    Pixie.RN, did you wear your ASU for commissioning? Ya I've heard the same for 66T and 66S. Also can you verify if this is true that all 66T must attend a mandatory cycle at Madigan joint base in Washington? Im hoping they pcs us (family) to Germany ...

    Very true Armymedicrn. I shouldn't worry so much but that's just me. I'm striving to get the best scores possible on everything I do in the Army including the physical fitness portions. Is everyone wearing or did everyone wear ASUs for their commissi...
