Hi navyman7, Does the Navy go through the C-STARS (Centers for Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills) program at R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center just like the Air Force does as part of pre-deployment preparations?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Sw88tpea and carolinakate88! I greatly appreciate it! :)

Received good news around end of August from my recruiter. She said that the Nurse Corp has finally decided to give me a spot for FY 2012 and that I should be ready for ODS on October 14. Unfortunately, I broke my right ankle in July and I have been in intensive rehabilitation since then. My orthopedic surgeon says that I should be ready (back to normal/active duties) by January 2013. My recruiter says my spot will be held for me pending medical paperwork from my doctors, which I am currently working on. I am deeply frustrated because I have been waiting for almost a year and now that it's here for me, I can't "move" on it. I've read previous threads as regards to PT and I've been really active prior to my injury. I think you mentioned on one of the threads that I should be able to run three times a week (I ran 10 to 11-minute miles). My surgeon (a Nam Vet) is pretty confident that I will be able to go through ODS by January 2013. I am not as confident so any thoughts from you would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.
