Hi guys, I cannot express how much I appreciate having this platform to discuss applying into military nursing. I recently got commissioned into 66B and now waiting for orders. I have a few questions: 1) At what point will they test your APFT/ACFT? W...

Congratulations JoyBelle612! I was selected in August so I hope I get my scroll soon. I actually had to re-do my finger prints and sign papers for security clearance again this past week because it has been 6 months since I did my initial ones and th...

I'm in Southern California. I don't know what unit I'll be going but I'm doing the reserve component.

My recruiter asked me to sign a letter of intent today as well.... He says a lot of his recruits from his station are waiting for scrolls to come in as well. In the mean time, I am just trying to lose a few pounds and train for the ACFT.

Hey, I don't blame them for withdrawing their acceptance. It took us a lot of effort and time to get everything together but then you had people waiting for half a year to finally start their "jobs". No employers would do that!! I do feel bad for tho...

Spoke with my recruiter too and he says they are backed up on the scrolls. I've been waiting for a little over a month for the scroll now but I can see that many people here waited much longer?. The recruiter is hoping that the appointment order wi...

If I am reading this correctly, it took you 12 months from selection to start drilling? What do you do on your drill weekends? What's a typical weekend like for you?

For reservists, do you know if we start DCC right away once we receive our order or if it's done later on after we report to our units? I know that BOLC-B is done within a year of commissioning and is scheduled with your reserve unit commander (or so...

You sound like a good candidate. Good luck!

I agree. I applied in late May for 66B on the reserve side and made it to the July/early August board. My recruiter and I are super on top of things with putting the packet together (lots of documents to gather on top of a very lengthy application) a...

I don't know yet which unit I'll be assigned to... I just know that it's close to where I live in Orange County probably... Going in with no Army background so I do feel like I have a lot to catch up on.

This is so insane.... 4 months of waiting for appointment orders after being told you got selected!

Good news! I was notified by my Army recruiter that I got selected as a 66B Public Health Nurse in the Army Reserves and is now pending on the scroll to be released. I started applying late May and everything just went like a breeze. They sounded rea...

Do they have a formula for how they place the ranking based on civilian experience? I have been an RN for 10 years and a BSN for 7.

Wow, so many good news here! Congrats!

Congratulations, that's so awesome!

What rank do newly commissioned nurses usually get? Do they ever get the rank of a captain with a BSN only?

Hi, wanted to see if anyone is willing to share samples of their Statement of motive for commissioning. I am waiting for a templet from my recruiter but interested in seeing what other people put in theirs (especially those who are successful in gett...

So you've been waiting for 7 months for your orders? Gosh, that's a long process!

Are Letter of Recommendations required along with statement of motivation? My recruiter hasn't even asked me for those yet. I've so far only turned in my CV and filled out the questionnaire for background check. Is there a particular format to those?...

Did you do your MEPS yet? I think that's my next step in the process. My recruiter told me that we should be ready for the boards in October/November. In the meantime, I am just doing some physical training to get in shape in preparation for MEPS and...

Hello everyone! Thanks for starting this feed. I have been a RN for 10 years and BSN for 8 years. I have worked as a Public Health Nurse capacity for about 4 years or so. I recently decided to apply for the Army reserve as a Public Health Nurse 66B. ...
