   ameritow replied to richardjboro1's topic in Government

   Hello Richard. I am a soon-to-be Army nurse, so I may not be totally unbiased but I will try. From what I have seen/heard, the Army bonuses are slightly larger than the Navy. Other than that, I haven't found too many differences. My ex-husband wa...

    ameritow replied to mistyval's topic in Government

    So if you do get called up in the middle of a course, the school also has to let you start back where you left off? Do you have to start that course all over again, or wait until the course gets to the point you were at when you left? I assume that...
