Who’s your recruiter? I’m in Texas as well but in Houston

Here you go guys FY2020 numbers for the USN AD

Good luck everyone

Same here, but I really want to be a flight nurse in the Air Force and I remember mentioning that in my interview for AD

@MasalaC I guess I'll find out soon but I really don't want to go AD anymore because of some commitment with my kids

I need to get with you to learn about your experiences, first I have to stop my active duty process and pick up where I left off with my flight nurse application

That was what my recruiter told me. There are no FNP slots in the Reserves as of now, and I don't want to go active anymore due to my kids' commitments, and I honestly do not mind Flight nursing at all, I think it will be fun

I think with 9years of experience, you should be coming in as O3. From what I've learned so far, a year of civilian experience is equivalent to 0.5 year of military experience. So, your 9 years of experience should be equivalent to 4.5 years of military experience that can be counted towards your rank.

Hi, I was wondering how your degree ended up improving your rank. I'm currently in the same situation, my previous recruiter told me to wait until I completed my Masters, also FNP before completing my scroll but then he retired and my new recruiter had no idea what I was talking about. I have 5 and a half years of RN experience and recently became FNP. Please advise

Are you guys all applying to the Reserves or Active Duty. I applied active duty but now having second thoughts, would prefer to be in the reserves

I am but I'm also exploring the Air Force

hey djmatte, are you also applying to the Air Force? I decided to apply to both

Is that Active duty or Reserves?

That means I’m loosing a lot of money as a nurse practitioner commissioning as a med surge nurse, I’m only certified as a FNP not medsurg nurse, yikes!

Has anyone gotten the retention bonus with the accession bonus for medsurg or is it one or the other, or one after the other?

I'm heading to MEPS tomorrow, I hope everything goes well

Mcaselogic, I am also an FNP but I'm chosing to take the MedSurg route to get my foot in, I'm currently applying to Medical school and I want to improve my chances of getting into the military medical school. I am currently applying to the MedSurg billet as a reservist. I hope the FNP slots open up soon. Goodluck

I just found this forum and I'm working on my paperwork for MedSurge reserve spot, apparently, they have a lot of spots to be filled for Medsurg

That was definitely fast. I had my flight physical done last year in August. Many mistakes happened and I failed my depth perception exam, I have then repeated the exam but my packet has not left the physician's office. This is so frustrating

I have a question, I just found out that my Class III physical is scheduled for July 15th and I am scheduled for a PAP smear and women's exam on the 24th of July, do I start looking for another doctor that will get me in sooner or they can wait for my results,. Better yet, would they do a pap smear during examination?

SRNA4U, ADN, BSN, MSN, CRNA, that is awesome! I think I am finding myself walking in your footsteps

Wow! that was a very long journey! I have been calling my recruiter so much, I think I need to relax a bit seeing the entire process might take forever

Vona86, BSN, RN Thank you for your response, how long after MEPS did you get to interview with unit commanders and go for the flight physicals? Any advice on how to prepare for the interviews? I just completed MEPS last week Monday

Hi! Have you gone to any of your trainings yet? How did they go? Please post your updated timeline, I just went through MPS

Hi I just found this thread and by female parts physical exam, you mean pap smear?
