  16. Do nurses need to know Arabic?

    Jarnaes replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    I wish I could have taken an Arabic course before my deployment to Iraq. I learned a few key phrases while I was there and it was very helpful. While in Iraq, you will have translators assigned to...

    Jarnaes replied to PhWanC's topic in Government, Military

    There is no set standard, some places do 12 hour shifts others do 8. The unit you work on will have a mix of civillian, contract and active duty staff. As military you are pretty much "free labor"....
