    lifeafter40 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    Is your recruiter CPT Connors, in the Overland Park Office? I have not had to the opportunity to talk with him yet, but I did visit briefly with MAJ

  2. Loan repayment--possible pitfall

    lifeafter40 replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    thanks, Miss Mab. That is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about. Even something as "simple" as in-processing to your new Unit... I have read several accounts of new 2LT's being totally lost at...

  3. Too much time to think...

    lifeafter40 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    that was a very informative post. Thanks a lot! I guess My biggest fear is that something in my past will "disqualify" me for service. I am 37 now, and have been through a lot of Sh** in my life....

  4. Public Health Commissioned Corps?

    lifeafter40 replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Government, Military

    Each of the services have their own websites (sometimes you have to do some digging around to find exactly what you are looking for) the Army's site is: http://www.goarmy.com/amedd/nurse/index.jsp I...

  5. Public Health Commissioned Corps?

    lifeafter40 replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Government, Military

    hello, and welcome! I do not know much about the USPHS, but I do not think that they deploy to actual combat zones, but they do go on humanitarian missions abroad. Hopefully someone else here will be...

  9. Loan repayment--possible pitfall

    lifeafter40 replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the Heads UP! I know that, as a new inductee to the Military, it can easily be overwhelming... all the paperwork required. The 30 day window for LRP could be a big surprise for those of us...

  10. Air Force medic vs Navy Medic?

    lifeafter40 replied to TrinaRoschelle's topic in Government, Military

    You make some very good points in your post, and I know from my experience as an Army Aviation Mechanic the frustration of not being "qualified" to perform the civilian equivalent of the job you have...

  11. Is my recruiter lying to me???

    lifeafter40 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Government, Military

    Along these lines, maybe someone can clarify something for me. I am under the impression that it is not uncommon for specialty nurses to deploy with a CSH (IMA?) as a med/serg nurse or whatever the...

  12. Compare/Contrast

    lifeafter40 replied to jake6666's topic in Government, Military

    A decision like that is really one that only you can make...you must follow your gut, and your passion. that being said;) do some searching on both areas, I am sure you will find that there will be a...

    lifeafter40 replied to olderthandirt2's topic in Government, Military

    I can feel your pain! I have made my choice WAY early that this what I want to do... now I have to wait for at least three more years before I can really even start the process! meanwhile, I get worry...

  14. AMEDD OBLC Schedule

    lifeafter40 posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have been checking the AMEDD OBLC web site on a regular basis for an updated schedule (either current or future). I know there is a class to start the first part of August, and the welcome letter...

  15. AMEDD OBLC Schedule

    lifeafter40 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    I had not checked that site yet. Thanks for the links! the schedule I have been looking at though, is the actual daily training schedule for each individual class. Kind of gives an idea what to expect...

  16. New Army Reserve OBLC requirements

    lifeafter40 replied to olderthandirt2's topic in Government, Military

    athena, Thanks so much for the info! I have talked with people at VA and, as you said, if I can produce the proper documentation, then the awards can be reinstated. Unfortunately, I ETS'd over 10...

  17. AMEDD OBLC Schedule

    lifeafter40 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    I am interested in Active Duty, but am not far enough along in my recruitment process to get that kind of information. I am just a bit anal when it comes to research and information! ... I soak up...

  18. New Army Reserve OBLC requirements

    lifeafter40 replied to olderthandirt2's topic in Government, Military

    This is so true! My situation was quite a bit different, but when I was a Junior Enlisted Soldier in the Army, I earned (2) AAM's (Army Achievement Medals) They are rather low on the awards list, but...

  19. Is it former or x military?

    lifeafter40 replied to Learn2Nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I think this is a prime example of the fact that no matter what you do, someone is always going to be upset by it. No-one wants to intentionally offend anyone, and I commend you for trying to find the...

  20. sticker shock

    lifeafter40 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Being Prior Service enlisted, I was a little taken back by the fact that I will have to procure all of my own uniforms as an Army Officer. I have checked out U.S. Cav, and U.S. Patriot, as well as...

  21. sticker shock

    lifeafter40 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    OTD2... Thanks, I checked out the AAFES site, and it looks as though I have to have authorization to use the system. (I should have known that, since the exchange is only for Military personnel and...

  22. New Army Reserve OBLC requirements

    lifeafter40 replied to olderthandirt2's topic in Government, Military

    Congratulations OTD2!! Glad everything worked out for you. Also on the uniform thing... As JBRecon2 stated, If your Recruiter will take you to a local post, with your orders and ID, you should be able...

  23. Active Duty Assignment

    lifeafter40 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

    I would certainly not want to make judgments about someone I know nothing about but, being prior service myself, I agree with you in a general sense. The Army is a "Team Sport." For anyone...

    Someone correct me if i am wrong, but isn't HPSP Health Professions Scholarship Program? Which is what Med School/graduate Students get? I do not believe that HPSP is available for nursing students...

  25. Anybody in the Army Reserve Nurse Corps?

    lifeafter40 replied to jasonglh's topic in Government, Military

    Someone else will probably be able to better answer your questions than I, but it is my understanding that a Gortex will be issued to you at FSH. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
