  11. Hiatal Hernia - does it disqualify someone

    Google "AR 40 501" which is the medical standards for military entrance. Are you are a reservist or civilian? Sometimes there is a difference in retention vs new applicants. I would use it to get a...

  20. how long from boarding to secretary to comission

    Correct - you need a BSN in order to be promoted to CPT in the Army Reserve. Promotion time depends on branch... active vs reserve etc.. a very general timeline is that after 18 months as 1LT you pin...
