UPDATE!! My DD 368 was approved on 10/25... Now comes the excitement along with the dilemma of finding out the duty station. Question What has been the experience for individuals who had to rent or sell their house (mortgage) due to PCS.? A friend of mine stated I could get property tax exempt due to active duty orders; could not corroborate such or find any information. Does anyone as an input on this claim? Will I do my DA71 at the recruiter's office or when I get to DCC? Thank you in advance

Always start with an AMEDD recruiter to get more details. Being a MedSurg, the chances are slim due to the candidate pool and your profile (not very competitive). I'd recommend, accumulating more experience, try doing ER, ICU etc. To stand out, you'd need certain certifications; for Med/Surg - CMSRN As for physicality, you must start now! Whether you're in the military or not! you'll never regret it. Build consistency, jog 1 mile a day for 100 days, then 2 miles a day for 200 days and so on. Build that habit and if opportunity in the military comes calling, you won't be worried. Besides, how fun is it to stay healthy and fit! I hope this helps!

Thank you. Evidently, my DD368 (currently reserve going AD) is still pending in the pipeline. It seems everything is on hold until that one is processed. It has been almost 8 months now. Do you have any suggestions how to speed it up? Side note: I have had lot of career growth over the time, even had a CNO offer at a rehab. However, I have never felt this joy and excited. I know some out there are doing it for the incentives and whatsoever reason it may be. My reason is sheer passion and being a patriot! Also, my wife (an RN) with ADN is looking into applying for an RN job at the same duty station. Is this allowed? if so, will the recruiter be the contact person to assist? Does the military hospitals have their own HR and recruitment team we need to get in touch with? We looked into USA.gov jobs but could not find anything. Will associate's degree suffice or she would need a BSN before she can work at a military hospital? Thank you

Sir, I just signed my contract today (09/24/2024) for a CPT - exactly as you stated in the previous thread. Recruiter told me, I will take my oath at the duty station, is that so? I wanted to have take my oath in my city (reason: to have all my family and love ones attend). I feel its a milestone and wanted to celebrate it with them. When will I receive my orders? Recruiter said AMEDD is usually fast with processing orders. What is your input on it? Thank you for the guidance.

Thank you for the clarification! I am currently in the reserves and hoping to switch to AD 66S. I already spoke with a consultant to review my CV and the expectations. My wife (she's a nurse too) is fully supportive and I have a 2 year old. Supposedly I pass the board, When do I stop going to weekend drills? Is it after scroll comes back or after I'm given the go by the board? My intention is to start doing shadowing with my current commander - he is okay with it. However, unsure when I can be allowed or if I will be, to do such.

I submitted my package to the board two weeks ago (08/05/2024) for 66S. Background: BSN in 2014, MSN in 2023, and MBA in 2024. I am currently doing my DNP. I have the following board certifications; CCRN, CVRN, CMSRN, Pain specialist, TNCC. Experience: 2 years in management (manager, supervisor, director), 2 yr in IMCU/Tele, 4 ICU, 2 years in ER and Med/Surg. Most recent is ICU. I also have prior military experience of 5 years in the army reserves as enlistee. Questions: 1. What will be my potential rank? 2. How does the schedule work in military hospitals? 3. I know I will be doing a pay cut (doing it out of passion), how much of difference will I be seeing? Note I am married with 1 child. 4. What is the time frame from packet submission to receiving orders? 5. Will I go to BOLC straight or I will have to do DCC? thank you
