  1. ARMY Critical Care Nursing full?????

    aglages replied to ICU24's topic in Government, Military

    Garbage. If people that actually have negative first hand experiences shouldn't post their opinions in a "public" forum because they are commissioned officers, then who should? Just the commissioned...

  2. Pay at COT

    aglages replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

    There are actually two different issues here: How much and when. Regardless of how much money you are supposed to receive the military in notoriously bad at initially paying you on time and for the...

  3. security clearance.

    aglages replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    I guess we can now "assume" that it wasn't too much talking by another person. I cannot understand why people feel the need to post these kind of personal half truths on a public forum and pretend...

  4. security clearance.

    aglages replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    There you go. No need for all the

  5. security clearance.

    aglages replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    Am I the only person reading this thread that is wondering how this "other" person knows so many financial and military details of another person's life? Why if this person needs advice, and is...

  6. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you Sailornurse! I've not been able to find any nurses that actually served a tour on a "gray hull" ship. Supposedly it happens but evidently not too often and I'm unclear as to the...

  7. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you Sailornurse for the insight about the Navy nurse ship assignments. This helps. Do you know how long the deployments on the Mercy & Comfort are? How about combat ships? Does every ship...

  8. Can/should I haggle with the recruiter?

    aglages replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    I agree. After all, the recruiter's uncle owns the

  9. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    aglages replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    Does it make sense to leave the Air Force when you are making a Major's pay and only need 9 more years for retirement? I understand there are problems with AF Nursing (also in civilian nursing), but...

  10. UVA second-degree MSN

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks everyone for all the insight. I hope you all get your dream assignments, in the branches and locations that you want. Have a safe and Happy Holiday.

  12. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    You raise a good question. Are the AF bases / quarters nicer (in your opinion) than the Navy's? You're saying there may be a good reason why it's called the

  13. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Exactly. I'm trying to determine the chances of a NROTC nurse ever serving on a ship during her first four years without volunteering for that duty. If you are going to be stationed in a hospital by...

  14. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks wtbcrna. I had heard there is a fairly extensive waiting list to get on one of these ships. What did you mean by the following: "If assigned to a hospital ship it is a "collateral duty""? What...

  15. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks carolinapooh! Still sounds as though for a "new" Navy nurse the chances are slim and none that she will be assigned to a ship within the first four years of duty. After they reach O-4 (which...

  16. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks jeckrn for the clarification! What is a "HM"? When you say nurses and HMs can be assigned to marine units, you mean marine hospitals or marine land based medical facilities....correct? What is...

  17. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks carolinapooh! I knew the Navy (and the other military services) had opened most not direct combat jobs to women, but didn't realize that they had female nurses on their combat ships (although...

  18. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks carolinapooh for the information. I probably have some incorrect information, but I had heard that the Navy doesn't assign female nurses on it's ships other than the hospital ships.....and...

  19. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Wtbcrna! I figured there wasn't much difference. One last question: Will your AF time transfer over to the USPHS for purposes of rank and

  20. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks wtbcrna! Is the hospital that you're currently stationed at by the ocean? How about the nurses....do they seem as happy as AF nurses or as though they wish they'd gone with the AF instead? Do...

  21. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    I'd heard the same things about the difference in living conditions between the AF and Army enlisted personnel, but not anything negative about officers and nurses specifically. I would think that AF...

  22. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Why? I can understand after being in the Army why you might choose another branch, but why the Air Force instead of the Navy? Seems as though the Navy hospitals would be in "better" locations (close...

  23. USUHS Graduation

    aglages replied to wtbcrna's topic in Government, Military

    Congrats....I am sure you earned it. DC to Alaska? Better leave now....it may take two weeks at this time of the year. Should be an exciting

  24. Army Nursing Board

    aglages replied to BrownBoiRN's topic in Government, Military

    As an Army Vet my opinion is that you are giving the Army too much credit. Get used to this way of "doing
