That's when you make a meeting with your boss & ask to be reimbursed for 50% of your personal phone bill or give them the option to provide a cell phone for work. Tell them your phone is your personal phone & not for constant work use unless ...

I was an ADN nurse for many years & waited to finish my BSN before I joined the Army. From what many prior & current enlisted have told me, it is worth the wait for you to just finish your degree & THEN come into the military really doing...

Converse is where I just rented a place. Some live a little further east & they don't find the drive bad. Most people recommend North central to Northeast for housing if working at BAMC. Staying any further can cost you quite a drive because the ...

Oh, sureeeeeee, I'll show you how to get lost on base no prob! lol. I bought 2 pairs Danners at the base & have been wearing the 1 pair around... but am thinking I need a smaller size now after they squooshed down from walking. Hope they're not ...

Very rare to get housing on base as anything if you are single. If you are married, better chance. If you are married with children, even better chance to get base housing....however, there is sometimes a "wait" list for even that! :)

If your permanent command station is not Fort Sam Houston, you will be housed by the Army for BOLC, so no worries!!! It's for those who have been assigned here for our first station in addition to BOLC that have to find housing because we will be her...

Yep! Been here 2 weeks. I private messaged you, but didn't know if you got PM's.

You found an apartment already?! I'm STILL looking for a place to live, so I'm jealous, ha! I'm looking for houses though & have a pet, so different parameters I guess. I wasn't told before I came that I would be looking for a place to live BEFOR...

See you at 5am remedial PT's every morning then! lol! Message me when you get here so we can get our numbers & names correct, ha! I'm excited to actually meet some Allnurses.com buddies for the first time ever! :)

I've been here for 2 weeks & pleased the weather has been pretty nice for SA...just how I had hoped. I thought I was pretty, dang good at maps & then have been having fun getting lost at FSH ever since I got here, lol. As for PT, I am more t...

Lunah & TraumaRN! I'm already here, so call me when you get here, ha! I was bounced around BAMC all afternoon yesterday as noooooo-one knew what to do w/ me apparently, lol. And kept getting different answers everywhere. Finally I just started ma...

No orders still? Yikes!!!!!!!

Hills & trails: EVEN BETTER!! :monkeydance:!! I get bored with gyms & tracks sometimes...part of my curse of trying to workout with actual motivation, lol. Thanks! I would like to find some nature trails outside of San Antonio for weekends &...

Anyone going to be at Fort Sam Houston (or already there), that will be working or is currently working at BAMC/SAMMC? I'm an RN & a new 1Lt accession that will be attending the March BOLC next month; however, I've been told I have to report ear...

P.S. Any good places to run close to either the base or BAMC, because I'm still working on my 2 miles before the 23rd arrives :-S. Thanks! :)

Thanks all. I guess my main panic is if I don't have all the right paperwork. I've tried to find everything I'm supposed to bring, but dang it all if I don't keep finding more things I'm supposed to copy & print, ha. I will be keeping your emai...

I only had 2 1/2 weeks max from the time my orders came in to the time they said to report on the 8th. So I hope you guys get 'em soon! And they're just plain ol' black & white typing thrown on a piece of paper. No special nothing for those askin...

Did she answer the phone when you called? Or did she just return your call? Wondering, because I know she's busy & so we have yet to talk on the phone, ha. I just get voicemail when I call & she just emails me back. Ha.

Thanks again. Yeah, I was concerned because even though I could stay w/ grandparents, they live waaayyyy on the other side of SA & I don't think driving that drive every morning would help me w/ timliness considering dreaded traffic. I'd prefer b...

BTW...where did you find the dates in the course catalogue? I kept trying to look up certain courses & a lot of the 2011 ones said there were none for that FY yet.... maybe I'm just looking it up the incorrect way! :thankya:

Thanks for the info! Taking over 2 weeks off my preparation time to leave has given me a slight stroke d/t the fact I had so much to do & so little time as it was. The only thing I'm trying to make sense of is housing, as I don't see anything men...

Just regular mail for me . Says it was written on the 14th.

Yeah, I was thinking that might've been the case. But now I'm confused all over again, lol. I just got my orders in & though it mentions the BOLC course on the 23rd I'm to go to, it actually tells me to report to BAMC on the 8th of March. And no...
