  5. AR to AD

    Hum, Well, I would wonder if HSD (who gives you the indentifier) would want at least a years experience before giving you the Public Health ASI. That is the usual criteria I believe. Just having a...

  12. Regs for Active Duty Army 8A

    Actually, the 8A is more of a principle issue (and potiential ISP pay). I won't have time to participate in the Army Critical Care course or be allowed to after I access......as stated in the branch...
  13. Regs for Active Duty Army 8A

  14. SO,, This Letter of Reccomendation letter...

  15. Thinking about joining Army Nurse Corps...

    If I understand correctly you will have a MSN in health systems which is non clinical. So you would still be a 66H (nurse). Even with your MSN, with 1-2 yrs experience, you probably will be a 2LT. You...

  20. Active duty AF at 47 years old

    Aren't the BASIC PAY scales for once a month payments? http://www.dfas.mil/militarypay/militarypaytables.html. That is how I have been figuring it. And it is taxed. So for me, coming in Active Duty...
