   sammitate replied to sammitate's topic in Government

   Thanks for your input! Do you have any recommendations of good bases for ICU nursing? For example, I know that Langley is a 6-bed ICU and oftentimes doesn't have ICU patients; this is not something I necessarily would put at the top of my list (I kno...

   Hi everyone! So my packet will go before the AF board for the Sept. 23rd deadline. I've been told it's usually somewhere in November when we find out if we are selected or not. Being hopeful that I get a select, can anyone tell me a realistic timefra...
