Questions regarding the 2 mile run. Does anyone know if you have to run the whole time? Can you stop to rest? Can you change to a fast walk at all then switch back to run? Anyone who has taking the test and can shed some light, please do :) TIA

I would bet that you could find a parent at your son's school that is already a home daycare provider or if not already there may be one that is looking to make extra money 2 days weekly. It would be great if you could find a neighbor/classmate who i...

Run time 20:39, sit ups 43, push ups 23, my total was 199. I know I need to get better but was happy to pass the first time, I took a total of >5 minutes of my run time. By time I get to WINN I will be improved:).

2 miles, the track at BOLC is .5 miles so you run 4 times around a track that seems so long. Here is the link to a APFT calculator. You will test about 1 week after arrival. http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/army_board_study_guide_topics/physical...

I DID :)pass but the sit ups where so hard! My run time was under 1 minute- I even surprised myself! It is def different when everyone is out there running and the clock is up so you know how fast(or slow) you are finishing each lap.

I am in as CPT, 13 yrs experience, MSN/ANP- 5 yrs. My constructive credit equals 05yrs, I am 66H since there is no ANP MOS. Not sure why you wouldn't go in CPT, how long have you had your MSN?

I was nervous about it so I actually purchased a nursing resume book that included examples of military and government resumes. Probably wasn't needed but it made me feel more confident since I was entering a whole new world. I was told by my recruit...
I went to Scott AFB with my recruiter to get some uniform stuff and order my ACU name tags. My name tags are in and I need to pick them up, is it correct that I just need my drivers license as a form of ID to get on post? When I went with my recruite...

Thanks. I went yesterday, they asked if I had a pass, I told them no, gave my orders and ID and that was it-all ok. My ACU name tags are pretty:)! Although looks a little funny beacuse my last name is hyphenated so in total 16 letters!

Yes, I believe they have to pack it otherwise they can't be held responsible. They are experts and will pack accordingly, then you or your represenative will sign off on everything. If something breaks or comes up missing in the move then the move co...

Carolina- Again and always thanks for the insight. So in this case, I can have my items shipped and stored at government expense, then when its time for the items to be moved into our actually house and out of a storage room, the government will pay ...
