Congratulations to all of you guys who were accepted to the program and good luck with the Army boards and scrolling. I was in your shoes a year ago (as direct commission) and I know it can be nerve racking process.... but it is sooo worth it! Anyway, if you're working on your physical fitness to pass PT test, I just wanted to mention that the Army APFT is changing as of the next year so you may want to look it up and tailor your training to new standards (although you may still have to take the old test at the beginning of next year). Also, yes, direct commission will most likely be commissioned as 2nd or 1st LTs; unless your degree is higher than BSN. And to those who like to "condition" their brain somewhat or are just curious what's anesthesia about I recommend Morgan &Mikhail text (very simple to understand) and and/or ACCRAC or From the head of the bed podcasts. For something heavier (and to make your first semester much easier) have a look at Lippincott biochemistry book. Good luck!
