Does the military have access to your medical records? Some people say they do, some don't. I took medication for depression from age 17-19 and I'm 21 now and I know I am better and it is behind me. I really don't even think I needed them, the doctor almost pushed them on me. If they don't have access to my records I will just lie, no problem becuase if I say I did then that would probably DQ me. Also after Officer Development School do I go to more training like A school? If you could tell me what ODS is like that would be appreciated. Is it really "fork and knife" school anymore? When I arrive on base will I live on base in officer barracks or will I live in my own house/ apartment on base or will I most likely live off base with living allowance? When you get to base and began working do they usually spend a day or two to show you how the hospital works and help you get the swing of things? I would love personal experiences and advice please and thank you!

Yeah I did see how that could sound the way it did. The truth is I'm not that girly. Its just I don't know I'm one of those people who like to be prepared and know as much as possible about something and the hair thing wasn't even thought about until now when I've kind of gotten all the other military/navy nurse questions out of the way and I kind of freaked out about cutting my hair because its always been long. I wasn't sure where else to post this question. But I've thought about it and don't really care if its short.

lol "high end salons" I don't like paying more than 10$ for a cut actually. I didn't mean to sound that way its just this girl in the Air Force told me she saw a bunch of navy girls straight out of boot camp with uneven hair so yeah.

Calm down. That is no where near my main concern. It may seem like a petty question but I've been doing research on ever other part of it and have knowledge of what to expect and everything. Then I remembered the hair part and just thought I would ask. Reason why I put it on allnurses is because I am going to be a nurse in the navy and I asked "While working in the hostpital how will I wear it as well?" This isn't my first or last question I've asked about the Nurse Corps. I just want to know about everything that happens in training and after. Yes I do care about my hair but I really don't care if I have to have it chopped to my ears for a few months if it means I get to serve my country. I just wanted to know my options incase I could throw it in a bun.

I'm about to go to Navy officer training school and then I'll be a Navy nurse. I was told that if it is not collar length it will be cut to that length. Mine is not that long. It is on my shoulders(and even that I am uncomfortable with). Can I put it in a bun instead of having it cut or will they cut my hair? If I have to then I'll defiantly get it cut before I go because with many other girls waiting in line to get their hair cut at training I'm sure whoever is cutting it isn't going to make it even. And what about after training? When I'm working in the hospital will I have to have my hair in a bun, cut to my collar or as can I have it grow out a little past my shoulder and still wear it down? Also if I get it cut at the appropriate length will they still cut it? Someone told me that the navy will still cut it even if it is at the right length. What is collar length hair exactlt? Some said it was like an inch above shoulder and then someone told me it was right below the ears *shudders*
