   To my understanding about the last board: if you were not selected as a selectee or an alternate spot then you were a "non-select". Sounds like you and I were in the same boat last fall. Lets cross fingers for this month's board!!!

   Oahufish, I would have to consult an active duty recruiter in your area to be sure. I do know the age cut off is 42 for the Air Force. I hope it does work out for you. It's taken me over a year for active duty application/ processing and it's taken ...

   I was told last fall I had a great chance...I was later told I was a non-select most likely due to possitions available. I was told 200 applicants last fall and only 11 spots, plus I imagine the back-up people, too. My recruiter stated she has never ...

    Tina73RN replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government

    IowaRNBSN, How's it going? Did you make any plans for the reserves? Did you hear back from active duty side? I haven't heard anything from the June board and didn't expect to really. The slots were very few and far in between for ICU RNs. I am now w...
