Thanks Iron... The school my wife attends has never graduated a ROTC nurse before and the cadre is a bit clueless.

Hi, My wife is coming up to this process soon... You say you got the "first pick or second pick". How many picks do you make and is there a list of the places you are allowed to pick from? Thanks, Husband

Hi, My wife is a ROTC nursing cadet at a college that has never sent a nurse through before... therefore we have plenty of questions. ;-) Her goal is Active duty. We also have a large family (5 kids), and had to get waivers through for her to contract, which we did. I am prior service enlisted so know about the army but nothing about the officer and nursing side. My wife scores a 285 PT and is a 3.95 GPA. She goes to LDAC and air assault this summer. 1. We heard that new nurses can only be stationed at set number of duty stations for their first assignment? Is that true and what are they? 2. After being commissioned we understand she goes down to Sam Houston for a school of some sort... can someone give us breakdown of her first year active? 3. Not being afraid of deployment but not wanting to set herself up for a more likelihood, what can she do to help the odds favor a less likelihood of being deployed? Anything? I hope that question made sense... I am sure I will think of more but thanks for now... Researcher Husband
