    kalevra replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

  8. First Deployment Advice

    kalevra replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

    I preferred using a pistol belt with my M9 holster and magazine pouches. Leg holsters tend to pull and constrict movement once your running and it also makes accessing your cargo pocket a little more...

    kalevra replied to crystalball's topic in California Nursing

    SO if they let people in after the original sets of alternates were informed of their positions doesn't that change everything? Like if you were told you are alternate 10 but because of some paper...

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean. There are tons of people that want to be RNs but they just do not realize the level of clinical and book work it takes. My school went to a merit system so they weed out the week...
