    Any College of DuPage students out there?

    Gennaver replied to Carla14296's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Going to MEPS on thursday...

    Gennaver replied to dm22's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, I went in August 2006 and found it far better than I had heard. Maybe because I was not an enlisted? Maybe because I was a woman? Maybe because I was older, not sure. There were about 13...

    Antidepressants disqualifiers for Army?

    Gennaver replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in Government, Military

    Physical Fitness!!

    Gennaver replied to mckenzie4891's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, Thanks for sharing. You mean the Army standard run is 9 min/mile? So, doesn't that mean that folks who run at a faster pace are forced to go easy? There is something I read somewhere,...

    moving to chicago

    Gennaver replied to little cat's topic in Illinois Nursing
