    My recuiter had told me that at one time you could not reapply if you were not selected. However, he has since told me that it is difficult to be selected after you have been a "non-select", but not...

    w2cross2blue replied to w2cross2blue's topic in Government, Military

    I am emergency department specialty. I was hoping for Travis, Eglin, Langley, or Andrews, however, Keesler does have its perks. We will not be as far from family and friends, all the base housing is...

    Talked to my recruiter today and he said they had not released to him any new information about requirements for FY2012. As always, he told me "when I hear something you will be the first to know"....

    w2cross2blue replied to w2cross2blue's topic in Government, Military

    I was afraid the bonuses might go away for 2012. It would seem like they would not be offering sign on bonuses if they are turning nurses away. In any case, I doubt the amount would be increased. I...
