I was a direct commission in 2008 with no civilian nursing experience.

Hi Wendy, I just went through ODS in March and am currently stationed at NNMC Bethesda. I'm loving it so far. I know a bunch of people at San Diego as well from my ODS class who are enjoying it very much out there. If you need anything, any questions at all please feel free to let me know.

Hello, I'm currently at ODS and am just checking in with everyone. We've been told that the rules for the PFA are being tightened even further. If we are not in standards (weight, body fat %) by graduation, we will not be allowed to leave. This means we'll be rolled in with the next 5-week ODS class, which would not be very fun. This only affects a couple people in my class, but as you can expect it puts a lot more stress on those individuals. Recruiters should be explaining the consequences to their recruits of not being in standards prior to arriving at OTCN. Also, if any part of the PFA is failed (push-ups, sit-ups, or run) we will be allowed to graduate, but a letter will be sent to our command explaining that we were not able to pass and need to be on FEP. Certainly, this will not give a great first impression. Just thought I would let anyone know who is considering commissioning in the Navy what is expected of them. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

sassysailor- have you heard anything yet?

I will be attending March ODS, then stationed in Bethesda if all goes as planned. Anyone else going in March as well?

so my package went before the board last friday, just found out yesterday i've been "professionally recommended." pending my security survey, my recruiter's going to try to get me in the january ODS class, if not, then it's hopefully february for me!

hello all- have been reading along for a while but this is my first post. was told by my recruiter that everything was submitted to navy recruiting command almost two weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet. anyone know when I should be expecting a decision from them? i'm getting rather antsy and I can't get ahold of my recruiter. I was hoping to go to ODS ASAP... thanks.
