  1. Army OBLC packing list question

    Rme4life replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

  2. O-1E paperwork (Army)

    Rme4life replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    you will be fine. this is done by finance (like the first day of obc), all they need is your paperwork showing that you have been in for 4 yrs and 1 day. and sometimes it does take a little bit for...

  3. New RN (and old NCO!) looking to join Army Reserve, couple of obstacles, though:

    Rme4life replied to new RN old GI's topic in Government, Military

    my experience with the military is that there is always a waiver for everything. if this recruiter is not willing to look into this for you, ask him/her to send it up to the next person in their...

  4. My OBLC experiences

    Rme4life replied to IU95's topic in Government, Military

  9. Army Nurse Candidate Program??

    Rme4life replied to Renee4christ's topic in Government, Military

    you are correct. if you sign the ancp you will be excluded from the loan replayment program. and trust me, the army will hold you to this little clause. i did the ancp from 05-07 and came on active...

  14. Which Army Nurse Specialty is the best?

    Rme4life replied to Sobi's topic in Government, Military

    L&D is the only way to go for me, but most army nurses would rather not work any where near a laboring mom or new born baby. most of the army nurses i talk to want critical care or the OR. what...
