    66HotelMikeFive replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    Today I received my orders. HOOAH! Its about damn time. Almost 9 months in waiting. I find it very peculiar that 10 days after I contacted my Senators and asked for their assistance, that voila... I...

  8. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    66HotelMikeFive replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    Two things I have learned in my three years of nursing: 1) if it doesnt feel/sound right, its not. 2) If it crosses your mind as something that should/or shouldnt be done then follow through. I would...

  9. Question for Army Nurse Corps reservists/Navy nurse reservists

    66HotelMikeFive replied to agmedman's topic in Government, Military

    If you are just starting your packet now, and you are scheduled to complete your BSN in August then I offer this: you will not be in a unit before August. It takes months to complete the process. I...

    66HotelMikeFive replied to spawnupe's topic in Government, Military

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    ....its all part of the conspiracy! The same dudes that fly around in black helicopters and hang out on grassy knolls.... they hijack M5's orders.

  13. the long, drawn out, aggravating and frustrating wait for orders

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    RMO7, I was commissioned on July 1st of 2008. I have been waiting for orders since July of 08. Over the last 8 weeks, I have been in just about everyone's face ( short of anyone over the rank of 05 )...

  14. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I could not disagree more. Nursing school was a breeze. Sure, I had to put in time with my nose in the books just like everyone else but in retrospect, it was not a hard road to hoe. The NCLEX shut...

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Renee4christ's topic in Government, Military

    JC, I too have opted for SLR program in my contract. Question: if the Army deducts 28-30% and the remaining amount you receive is being reported as income on your annual filing, does this not mean you...

  17. oakley boots

    66HotelMikeFive replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    I too have heard stories from those fresh in from the sandbox.... that Oakley's just don't hold up to field abuse. Comfortable as all get out, but sorely lacking in durability. I have a pair of...

  20. Want to learn about OBLC?

    66HotelMikeFive replied to itsova9000's topic in Government, Military

    I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. My advice... stay on your recruiter... call or email daily if you have to. If you truly have lost faith in his ability to move your packet... contact his boss....

  21. Want to learn about OBLC?

    66HotelMikeFive replied to itsova9000's topic in Government, Military

    I was originally told orders have been taking between 45-90 days.... with the "rare occasion of a 120 days".... Supposedly, your recruiter cannot "put a trace" on your packet until after 90 days....

  22. Want to learn about OBLC?

    66HotelMikeFive replied to itsova9000's topic in Government, Military

  24. My OBLC experiences

    66HotelMikeFive replied to IU95's topic in Government, Military

    Tell me about it. I hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come within my military career. I would hate to see what a deployment would bring.

  25. My OBLC experiences

    66HotelMikeFive replied to IU95's topic in Government, Military

    Just heard from my recruiter today. It seems my packet "fell through the cracks" and has been sitting on someones desk for the last month at Battalion waiting to be forwarded to HRC . My recruiter...
