Hopefull you at least bring everyone back that you came with though.

Absolutely come home safe. Hope it's been uneventful.

I received an email with basic info. But no details on how to write an oer support form or what info should be included. I mean as nurses is ours just nursing specific? Like how well we assess, plan, implement, prioritize etc. or should there be other stuff too? All the stuff in bolc was army specific and leadership based. I'm finding it hard to put my nursing care onto a support form.

Awesome. Thanks I will try that.

Hello, I am pretty new to the ARMY and I am up for CPT boards this April. I actually thought I was suppose to go up for the boards next year so I am totally not prepared. I need some help with my OER support form. I have been trying to look up some examples for nurses but there are not really any I can find. I just finished BOLC last sept and have been on the floor since nov. I have nothing else to really add to my support form because I have done nothing extra at all!!!! I have just been trying to get the hang of the floor. My OIC is out right now medically and may not come back at all, the assistant OIC is having to run both jobs and is trying to get ready to PCS next month and is super busy. So any help I can receive here would be greatly appreciated. I really need an example support form to look at that is nursing specific (floor nursing) all the ones I can find are like OIC or commander ones. Thanks in advance

So true, i believe it will be pre 9/11 small or smaller.

Conspiracy time .... Or this is just one more reason to deny recruits, and/or shrink the already small numbers. I wonder how this will effect re-enlistment as well. Also could tricare pay for removal? Seems to be a quick easy way to deny potential recruits and to shrink the already small army right now.

Thank you for the reply. She has another sitdown scheduled for friday. I told her she needs to explain her goals and the timelines of those goals ( in as a respectable way as humanly possible. Since uncle sam is the one setting the goals lol) and how this ICU. course is extremely important for her goal of getting into USAGPAN. Her OIC knows the course intimately, I would be a fool not to value his opinion as would she. I suggested she ask him to sign the form on the condition if she has not proven herself worthy by the time it comes around, she would greatly consider pulling out in hopes of a later date. I have full confidence in her abilities to impress. I think he would be confident by March that she would do very well.

Been awhile since last posting here. Since then, wife has graduated BOLC after being recycled due to broken coccyx. She maintained company S-4 throughtout, graduated with the "exceeds corps standards" annotation in her AER. Was put in for AAM (waiting on that still), basically did awesome for a direct accession with no prior mil experience. She is a couple days out from the nurse track graduation and was able to go check in with her OIC that she will be working under. She does not have to do the CNTP stuff (already CMSRN certified and worked as a med/surg nurse as a civilian for 4 years prior. She was guaranteed the ICU course in her contract and has already been given word from branch that she is tentatively slated for the March ICU course. Upon telling her gaining OIC this he suggested that she put the course off until a later date. Now in the contract it states that if you decline a date for any reason you fall to the back of the list. He has something to gain by her not going. (Keeping a nurse he has put about 5+ months training into). He claims her lack of experience as a soldier gives her about a "70%" fail chance. If she takes the course and passes it she will be sent to a different floor. What would you do? This is obviously a touchy situation. She doesn't want to **** off her first OIC ever, but has a problem being a pushover. I have pleaded with her to push for this course date. She has never failed at anything, academically or yet as a soldier. She has always exceeded all standards whether it be GPA's or soldiering. What would you do?

Not yet but sounds like a plan for sure

From a guy that was in a combat arms MOS, and served with a few gay guys inIraq in 2003, I can say most of the military is pretty open to homosexuality. From what I seen, as long as you did your job, noone ever had a problem with anyone. Thank you for your service.

We loved it, had a watergun fight with our kids out on the field inside the pt track, saturday we went for a hike out at Eisenhauer park. Both days seemed very hot.
