    Rose3721 replied to Renee4christ's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I just spent 6 years stationed in HI. You're going to have a great time. We lived in Pearl City and loved it, but we were in Navy housing. There is no on post housing for single Army...

  2. FNEP/General Army Nursing Questions

    Rose3721 replied to Trin's topic in Government, Military

    I have a few buddies that did the Army Enlisted Commissioning Program, AECP. I did ROTC myself. They said that its definitely an adjustment to the officer side of the house. As far as deployments go,...

  3. OBLC in feb-march

    Rose3721 replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    You get off post privileges the entire time at OBLC. You're all officers so they try to treat us like adults, doesn't always work. :) We also got every weekend but 2 off. The training is 9 weeks. If...

  4. considering military nursing, crna in the army, but not sure

    Rose3721 replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    Typically the CRNAs in the Army are deployed for 6 months at a time. So you could potentially be deployed every other 6 months, but maybe not. The Army CRNA program is high, highly competitive. I...

  5. Still can't decide on Army or Airforce

    Rose3721 replied to sch983's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think the argument that the AF has better living conditions should be a deal creaker for ya. :) The Army has tons of new housing going up every day that is very nice and new barracks are being...

  6. Anyone married, with kids, and ACTIVE DUTY

    Rose3721 replied to guyRN2009's topic in Government, Military

  7. July 09 OBLC

    Rose3721 replied to wisergeiser's topic in Government, Military

    Actually as an Army nurse, we are not "staff officers". We most likely never hold a staff position in a unit, such as S1 or S3. We do qualify with the M16 and M9 and we also do tactics as all Army...

  9. Most haven't made it!

    Rose3721 replied to MsLEE2121's topic in Government, Military

    I just graduated last month with my BSN and I participated in Army ROTC. Simply put, you won't be able to do both ROTC and nursing school unless you really want to achieve both objectives; being a...

  11. Can a Nurse Specialize to Work with Individuals with Special Needs?

    Rose3721 replied to elb252's topic in General Nursing

    You could look at working in a state school as well. I have an older sister that is special needs and lives in a state school in Texas. It consists of full time, 24/7 care for individuals, children...

  12. Reserve to Active duty question

    Rose3721 replied to RealNut's topic in Government, Military

    My husband is actually enlisted, he's a crewchief on UH-60s. I've had several friends who were active dual military and they had no trouble being stationed together after the first duty station. Once...

  13. Future of Army Nursing

    Rose3721 replied to just_cause's topic in Government, Military

  14. Reserve to Active duty question

    Rose3721 replied to RealNut's topic in Government, Military

    You would definitely want to enroll in the Married couples program, the only catch is you can't enroll until you are at your first duty station. Which means that your first duty station might not be...

  15. July 09 OBLC

    Rose3721 replied to wisergeiser's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Zombie for the tip. :) I was finally able to view my RFO as well. It says to use it to make travel arrangements but my people at ROTC told me that I have to wait for the official orders. I'm...

  16. ID card before OBLC?

    Rose3721 replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    Unless I'm mistaken, we inprocess into DEERs at Ft Sam. The ID card shouldn't be a problem. At the ID card office here the guy helping me had to ask someone else how to do it so probably the person...

  17. July 09 OBLC

    Rose3721 replied to wisergeiser's topic in Government, Military

    My RFO email is doing the same thing, very frustrating. All we can do is wait for the official orders and hope it doesn't take too long. I can't ship my car or make any travel arrangements until I get...

  18. Anyone worked at TRIPLER AMC?? Or heard anything about it?

    Rose3721 replied to GoGreen09's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, it's called a CAC card. I just took in my oath of office paperwork and 2 picture

  20. ID card before OBLC?

    Rose3721 replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    That ID card office lied to you. I'm on IRR(just commissioned last month) until I get to FT Sam and I got my ID card 2 weeks ago. I would call back and talk to someone else. I would not show up to OBC...

  21. Lost and in the Army!

    Rose3721 replied to AuburnArmy's topic in Government, Military

    I just commissioned into the Nurse Corps through ROTC last month. Your best source of information is your brigade nurse counselor so ask your cadre for his/her contact information. You should be...

  22. Anyone worked at TRIPLER AMC?? Or heard anything about it?

    Rose3721 replied to GoGreen09's topic in Government, Military
