  1. Army PFT ???

    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

  4. Reserve Deployment and Childcare

    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...

  10. Army PFT ???

    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...

  12. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    Yes, I believe the ADN time is not counting towards your constructive credit.
  13. Army PFT ???

    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 AD 66H but I am an Adult NP, currently here in San An for my 9 week BOLC course. Today is the 1st day of my 3rd week. I am direct commission with zero prior military experience so this has been a very interesting time for me LOL. The reserve com...
  15. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    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?
  16. COT and running

    The music sounds fun, we don't have that here at BOLC. I miss running w/ my music of choice...cadences. LOL. But ofcourse off duty running you can wear music.
  17. Army PFT ???

  20. Getting on a Military base

    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...
  21. Getting on a Military base

    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!
  22. housing at 1st duty assignment

    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...

  25. housing at 1st duty assignment

    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 ...
