    navygirl posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, I'm leaving for OIS this weekend. I'm a bit nervous, as I have no prior military experience and don't know quite what to expect. Any tips to make the next 5 weeks easier would be appreciated!...

  8. How long will I have to commit?

    navygirl replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Government, Military

    I forgot to add that you will, in no case, be the "oldest" ensign if you are in your 30s. There are many prior service nurses who are ensigns because they were enlisted for many years before becoming...
