  6. Navy or Air Force?

    DanznRN replied to maribela21's topic in Government, Military

    If you're joining SOLELY for the benefits, I'd put more thought in it. Don't get me wrong the benefits are great when you need them, but the military is way more than that. This is not your standard...

    Mamma- Putting th uniform back on makes you feel like home, doesn't it? As much as I'm enjoying my uniform downtime, there's something about having that uniform on. It's something I can't describe,...

  12. Navy Nurse Questions

    DanznRN replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    Bela- The whole "officer first, nurse second" thing is something that you hear from the "higherups." The notion is that you are to conduct yourself in an "officerly" (not a word) manner and that...

    DanznRN replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    We actually bought a house back in 1999, it was literally a dump. We bought it as an investment property and put about $10,000 into it to make it liveable. When we left we sold it for a $95,000...

  18. where have you deployed & been stationed?

    DanznRN replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Government, Military

    Diego Garcia, OUCH!! I would assume you were not "mamma3munchkins," maybe "singlehotmamma" then? I was in San Dog back in '97-'00, good times. Get a dog and go to "dog beach," kids will love it, I...

  19. OIS Navy Internship questions

    DanznRN replied to mamma3munchkins's topic in Government, Military

  22. Nursing.....Air Force or Navy??

    DanznRN replied to Allemse's topic in Government, Military

    Did I miss something? I believe this is what you said, right? As for bashing, yes you are bashing different services, it's uncalled for. The Air Force is SO much better, that's why your husband was...

  23. Navy PRT...who's done?

    DanznRN posted a topic in Government, Military

    Just got done with the PRT and did fine. I always get nervous before I go. You'd think after doing about 20 of them you'd get used to it, but I haven't. I ended up with an Excellent Low, not bad...
