    razorshark replied to Smash567's topic in Government, Military

    razorshark replied to IVyPush-her's topic in Government, Military

    razorshark replied to cyzow's topic in Government, Military

    razorshark replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government, Military

    razorshark replied to cyzow's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, and no. Your health professions recruiter is correct. There are less than 20 slots available for FY12 NTP and applications aren't due until June 2012...so there is no point in working...

  14. RN looking for some AF info from someone who knows

    razorshark replied to icurnanthony's topic in Government, Military

    You are right. I was asked to come on here to clear up a lot of misinformation concerning "how" to get accepted, not to troll or argue. There is a reason nurses are not recruiters, and I would never...

  18. RN looking for some AF info from someone who knows

    razorshark replied to icurnanthony's topic in Government, Military
