ALCON, I want to be comissioned as a Nurse in the Navy. I am a prior enlisted Marine Ssgt, have a BS in Criminal Justice and an ADN. To be honest I am school'ed out! and no one can convince me that I need more "nursing leadership training". I have...

1st deg, cj, 2nd bsn. Almost 12 years in the marines. As prior enlisted. Commissioned ANC as 66H/M5 July 09, just finished OBLC enroute to lovely ft Irwin CA right now, love'n it!

If you show up to OBLC over the ht/wt and tape will they let you stay for the course and be re-evaluated at the end? I am about 22 lbs over my max wt, but only 2 or 3% over the body ft requirement. I can pass the apft easy and I report in 4 weeks (...

When I was in the Marines I was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Japan, there was a fairly good sized Naval medical facility there at the time. Iwakuni is a smaller base and has a small town feel to it, it was by far my best tour with ...

Anyone heard anything from the Army active duty, Mar-Apr boards?

Has anyone received there military ID before going to OBLC? I just received my direct commission in to the active ANC on the 8th of May, however I won't go to OBLC until at least Oct. I should be eligable for DEERS enrollment now right?

I don't think it's a big deal, I'm going through it too. I had a secret clearence and spent 14 years in the Marines and guard.

Actually, My wife's cousin was stationed there for 3 years in the hospital as a medic, they said they loved it there, I think they lived off base the whole time. You could also google the medical center and find a number that could put you in conta...

If you don't want to go to Germany, choose GA, it closer to Florida and SC beaches & attractions and Hotlanta.

I think i must be crazy:jester:, but I like the heat, I spent time in 29 stumps and loved it, several places around the mideast and loved it, ?I just love to pt in the heat?

Thanks! AK!!! hard charger!!! I'm trying to get Ft Irwin CA so I can stay close to SoCal for the 1st tour. Since I'm going in as a M5'r with 3yrs ER experience I hope they will give it to me, besides, I don't think anuone else want's it! LZ

Thanks for the reply! I signed this month, I hope I can still make the Oct class. Just a few more questions. Are you going active duty? How long did it take you to get slotted for school and who contacts you with this information? Any word o...

I have a couple of questions. What are the exact dates for the OBLC starting in Oct? Also, will/do they allocate school seats by need. Example, if the need more ER nurses would they bump folks out to make room to get that M5 through?

I went to Naval Station San Diego last Friday to try and get an ID and the 1st thing they checked was to see if deers was updated! It was not updated and I was told I would have to come back when it was. Any thoughts, anyone? Mike

Unless they bumpped you guy's out of July so I could attend:D, I guess I'll be going Oct or later too!

Thanks for the reply, What documentation did you have when you went?

Looks like I will be going in Oct too.

I agree!

Thanks guys! I don't know when OBLC will be yet, hopefully sooner than later, is July the last date this year?. I had to fill out another security/background questionare today that is suppose to be new to the process, my rec still seems to think I...

Got the word yesterday i'm selected and should commission this week!

Anyone herd any thing from the latest active duty Army Nurse Corps board?

Well after almost a year my package is going to the board this week, I have 2 years of ER experience and was approved for M5. I just have a couple of questions. 1. With 2 years of RN ER experience will I receive 1 year constructive credit towards 1s...

I'm in the same boat, prior Marines(AirWing), pkg at march active board.

Thanks! I initally wanted to go reserve but my ADN was not accredited. At least now I can do 10yrs and retire with over 24 total. So as a FRO you must have went to school in 29 stumps, hot, hot, hot, gotta love it! I'm hoping I can hit OBLC in ...
