Anyway I know not much has changed and I kept a blog of my 9 weeks there...check it out if you want. OBLC 2009 I found your blog about 6 mo before I left for BOLC (Nov '10). It was insightful and...
You're funny!!! With your sleeping bag liner/poncho liner either get a cot in the corner or make sure you're next to a good battle buddy so that you can share the space. There should be strings on...
Our (Reservist) spot is only held for 90 days. If our 368 hasn't been signed by then, then we lose our AC spot. So, we were selected on Nov 16th (that's when my select date says on the Work Flow...
Thanks Care&Joy!! Yes, I'm still excited. I know it will get signed, I'm just being, oh I don't know, impatient!!! LOL!! I just can't get orders until it's signed because once it's signed it means...
Let me just tell you guys from experience...don't over think it. No matter how many lists you make and how many times you go over it before you leave you'll never feel prepared. But once you get there...
Just found out that my hold up is, once again, my 368. I just spoke to the civilian that was taking care of my 368 who said it was signed and completed. Uhmmm, apparently not. So now I have only 60...
I'll try to get the name of the MAJ I spoke to at BOLC, but no, we do not have to do the NTP according to her. I spoke to her out at Camp Bullis one night about my packet and what I should expect if I...
I'm with you guys...I am so excited to re-start this journey in uniform, but this time as a nurse!!! Congrats to you guys!!! If you need any help getting ready for BOLC just let me know. You guys will...
SFC Jimenez, As has been stated by a few people that are regulars on this forum, I was commissioned in Jan as a 66H in the Reserves and was slotted for BOLC in Nov. Obviously you're aware that the...
Thanks MBARN08!!! Yes, yesterday's news put the icing on the cake for the end of my BOLC experience!!!! I'm officially graduated with certificates in hand!!! Having dinner with some great people...
YEAHHHHHH!!!! I'M IN!!!! I'M IN!!!! I'm here at BOLC sitting in lectures counting down to graduation TOMORROW when my phone starts going off. I pull it out of my pocket and see that it's my...
Hey guys!! I was just checking in to see how everyone was doing since boards started last week. Seems like everyone is still on pins and needles as we all were before I left. I don't know if you guys...
Oh my gosh Trauma...that is ridiculous...Why did you get canceled? Did your recruiter have a good reason? Don't worry about the 11/2 date. All that meant is that USAREC wanted the packets up to the...
Without anyone feeling as if they're being attacked, this forum was started for all us 66H who are striving for our ASI M5. None of us have ever said there is anything wrong with Med/Surg nursing, we...
I would hope that there are more projected slots than that for 66HM5s WHEN we're all selected!!! There are a few places that my husband and I loved when we were active duty and I will be hoping for at...
AWESOME!!!! That is such great news!!! I'm wicked happy for you!! Finally got my DD368 signed by my commander yesterday and copies to my recruiter today...SO EVERYTHING IS COMPLETE!! So now I can...
AWESOME!!!!! CONGRATS!!!! I'm soooooo excited for you!!! You've crossed the last hurdle!! I too got some good news today. My Commander finally called me today for my counseling session and said...
I'm over the drama too. This is our lives in their hands and it sounds like some of the recruiters have an "oh well" attitude. Mine has been awesome and has bent over backwards for me not only last...
Despite quoting AR 140-10 to my recruiter, my Commander, and the civilian processing my Conditional Release, I haven't gotten anywhere and feel that because I'm rocking the boat so to speak I am only...
Not to be an emotional basket case on such an open forum, but the past two days have been absolutely HORRIBLE. My Dad has just been turned down for a heart transplant and is being sent home from the...
svacula, Go to this website http://www.goarmy.com/locate-a-recruiter.html. Make sure you click on AMEDD. It should direct you to a health care recruiter within your region. Health care recruiters...
You can get into the Reserves with an ADN, for now that is, but there's talk about that changing as well. As for the age, I think Medical Officers have until they're 47, but I'm not sure if that...
Hopefully you're right!!! And hopefully we're all putting more into this than is necessary. We're qualified and have the documents to prove it. I'm the only M5 in my region going to the board. I know...
