I went to BOLC and DCC during the height of COVID in fall 2020 ? They did not require any PT of any kind to keep us socially distanced. We did a practice ACFT, which was just going through the motions of each event. It may have changed since then tho...

Hey everyone! I have just finished BOLC and I'm reporting to my first duty station next week as a 66S ICU nurse.

Hey everyone! Myself and a few other posters from here are currently in DCC ? A lot is changed from the norm due to COVID. You WILL be quarantined. OLD ARMY FITNESS TEST NO LONGER BEING USED... so start those leg tucks now, folks. Holy ouch!

Be sure to clear up with your recruiter, from what I understand it's not possible to receive both an accession bonus and loan repayment, it's one or the other. My contract was bumped back a month to fix that very issue.

I asked this same question with my recruiter, who was clueless about it. He basically told me that since we're not enlisted and actually responsible adults, he would imagine that they won't force us to stay at sill or Houston, but he said if that's t...

At MEPs, waivers only took a few minutes, to a few days. Depending on the issue (bad eyesight versus previous broken femur, different person to approve). Occasionally, a waiver may need to be approved after being seen by a provider to evaluate the sp...

Hey all! I applied and was accepted last year and I'm slotted for training June 6th. It was a lonnnnng process with a lot of road bumps and confusion

I just got my PCS orders and we are heading the Fort Bragg. It wasn't what we were hoping for, but I'm happy to know!

Joy, I go in june too!!! June 7th right? I'm so excited i could puke lol

Just to rant and vent: My recruiter made a mistake on my contract when I swore in... Then THREE MORE TIMES he made mistakes that had to be fixed such as my length of service, my student loan repayment, and the DATE of all things. This pushed me back....

Hey! You got the news over the holidays? Or today? My recruiter said I should get my orders any day now... And then they went on Xmas break and said I'd hear from them by Jan 6 when they get back lol. We are desperate for Feb training news ...

*raises hand* I would gladly go in January! I'm chomping at the bit to get the hell outta Dodge lol. But yes that's definitely moving quickly for u!

Snapper, are you reserves?! that's a lifetime to wait for orders :O yikes.

Hey everyone! I swear in next week on Tuesday and my recruiter said actual orders for training/duty station take 30-90 days after that. I'm active duty, what's everyone's experience this year on wait time from swearing in to orders? Thanks, just curi...

Omgosh Shay that's amazing! Congrats! Tell them I call next ? let me know where your stationed when you find out!

good GOD what is the holdup?! Is anyone else trying get their house ready to sell while awaiting orders? Cus this is killing me, not knowing what we will have time to finish or not. *double sigh*

I'd love to take my 2 year old to something like that! He loves to feed animals, he thinks it's hilarious, so provide your visitors with dog treats, carrots, biscuits for the furry friends. I'd also love him to learn the right way to interact with a ...

I started my packet in February... I'm awaiting appointment orders that should be in next week and i'll be swearing in. But still not looking to go to training until winter.

hey shay! my recruiter told me the timeline was board >>> accepted>>>> swear in (commission) >>>> orders (scroll in there somewhere, different for everyone.) I believe my scroll is in and i'm waiting to swear in.

I'm sorry, so does this mean your degree to get BSN does not count?! That's undergrad, is it not? "After the point that a person would be eligible for commissioning as a health services officer." Please tell me my nursing school loans will be paid &g...

Before I got my BSN i went to a regular army recruiter and they tried to sign me as a medic... aka EMT. you must go to a HEALTHCARE army recruiter, otherwise they will try to sucker you out of using that degree just to get numbers.

I've read on several different forums that once you commission you can call HRC and bug them about orders and you can sometimes get them faster. Anyone have experience with that?

Shay that's so exciting! We're in the same spot ? fingers crossed things move quickly now!

Hey everyone! I got a call from my recruiter today, they pulled me from the OML! so i'm no longer a "backup", I"ll be commissioning in the next month or so, and he said my scroll already went through :D Hubby and I are so stoked after thinking we'd ...

Update: I'm not super happy with my results. My recruiter said I'm in some kind of limbo list where I'm "on hold" to be pulled if anyone backs out of their contract, and i'll remain in that list until September. If no one needs to be replaced I'll ha...
