If you are looking at full time army afterwards. You could start your process now and it would be done when you finish the semester and be available for the ANCP program. Good Luck!

Good Luck. It is a new program so I am sure there will be a lot of ??'s throughout the process. At the very least, I would try to get my application in as early as possible to get high up on the order of merit list as I could.

Just a side note to above. You can work in a non nurse job but you must keep your license active and unrestricted.

ravneet, new user here with limited privaledges. Anyway. MAVNI is a project from the entire recruiting command with AMEDD slots. That is above the accessions done by AMEDD already and are reserved for specific category of applicants. I am not sure how many nursing slots they have in the program but if you need more guidance try going to the army website and chatting with one of the cyber recruiters they may have more info. Keep your chin up, it'll be well worth it!

I guess the right answer to hoplinger's question would be.. getting a release from enlisted to officer would have to be determined by who is looking at it and the state of affairs at that time. Currently NG Policy requires the state Ajutant General to approve the conditional release and USAR policy is that if it is enlisted to officer still in the reserves requires a Battalion Commander and if going usar enlisted to regular army officer it takes the first general officer in the chain of command. Also I believe both components require either 18 or 24 months on duty before you can request a release. So again it remains to be said, how long till you graduate from nursing school? and are you looking to the reserves to give you tuition assistance to pay for your nursing school? because if you are currently in nursing school the incentive when you grad is currently 50k - 115K in student loan repayment.

I believe the program "college first" works under normal circumstances, however I have a friend that was in that program and was deployed anyway (once to Iraq and once local - still could not attend college even though they were local due to military committment). He was told that the it was based on the needs of the Army as well as that of the State AG office. And here, the National Guard is activated more often than not, whereas the USAR units have not deployed much at all. I would suggest meeting with the unit commanders of the units before enlisting and asking them the hard questions. Interview them (USAR or NG) before applying for the job. If they will not do this than it probably is not worth getting into that unit anyway. Also, as previously asked.. how far into your program are you and how long till you finish?

As you probably know... the process you went through just to qualify is pretty stringent. I have not met anyone who was applying for the program and met all the requirements to board without being selected. As long as you are actually working with an AMEDD recruiter you have nothing to worry about. I only say it that way since I have heard of people working with another service and all I can say is that the Marine Corps does not have an AMEDD program (They fall under the USN). Good Luck to you!!

If you are not within 50 miles of a reserve unit you might want to do a search on google for APMC NAAD. It is based in Atlanta now and has options for people geographically unavailable within a reasonable commuting distance to a reserve unit. Hope this helps.

The freeze is only for Med Surge Nursing. As of right now specialty nursing (to include MANVI) should not be affected. Also, you may not need to wait till oct as they are placing the nurses on an order of merit list so if a slot comes available sooner you can be selected. The sooner you apply the better to get on the list sooner. I hope this helps.

The process is there to ensure you are fully qualified for the program. The boards usuall recess on thursdays of the same week and results generally come out by friday evening. Hope this helps.

The first step would be to contact your local AMEDD recruiter. Ensure it is actually an AMEDD Recruiter. They will get the process started for you buy giving you a chacklist of necessary documents (i.e. Resume, transcripts, etc...) and an application. Once all the documentation is done as well as the physical (If your enlisted one is more than 2 years old), your application will go to a board panel to determine whether or not to commission you. The process is pretty easy just a little time consuming (typically 30-90 days). The longest part of the process is getting a conditional release from your Reserve unit to transfer you to an Officer position. I hope this helps you.
