    "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for you country." - JFK My favorite quote of all time and part of the reason why I am joining the

  3. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    So, after having to bug the heck out of my last 2 references (which I feel deeply bad for doing since they are busy people), I finally got confirmation that my packet is finished!!! It's been a very...

  4. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy posted a topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter is telling me that we will be able to finish the application packet in 2 weeks. I've been reading on here from people who previously applied and it has taken most of the several months to...

  5. Navy nurse question

    inspiredbynavy replied to TheBrooklynKnight's topic in Government, Military

    Are you in nursing school or already a nurse? The Nurse Candidate Program is for students in BSN programs (that are accredited) and have >3.0 GPA's. If you're already an RN with a BSN then you'd...

    inspiredbynavy replied to RayJordan's topic in Government, Military

    Hey, just thought I'd join in on this thread. I started my package on August 1st and I'm almost done. Just waiting on my references to finish their paperwork and get it turned in. I met 3 other people...

  7. New Iraq conflict and US's future?

    inspiredbynavy posted a topic in Government, Military

    As someone that is trying to join the Navy right now, I'm curious what our future is in Iraq. I know we're doing airstrikes and the President stated that he will not send any ground troops there, but...

    I am ready to go overseas and help our men and women. That's not an issue at all!

  9. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    I have never heard that. You don't get any special treatment like that just for being a new grad. Like I said, everything is dependent on the Navys' (or any branch for a matter of fact) needs. To...

  10. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't heard/read if Navy nurses (or military nurses in general) get to float during their first year in. Did your recruiter tell you that? I mean, you can start off in any unit you want even as a...

  11. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, you are right. I wasn't sure what you were asking. Nursing is nursing--military or civilian. The training is going to be similar. I assume it will be like any resident/internship you do in the...

  12. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't asked. I've done most of my research online and I know a majority of new grads will start out in med/surg, but it's not a for sure rule. You can get sent to a different unit as a new grad...

  13. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    Back from MEPS. I'm running on 1 hour of sleep. MEPS wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and it definitely ended way sooner than I thought it would as well. Checked in at 0530 sharp and ended...

  14. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    Hey guys! So I'm at the hotel right now. I'm already getting special treatment. I was able to get my own room for being an officer candidate. It's pretty nice since I needed to work on my packet some...

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    Your recruiter went with you?? o.O Mine is having me go by myself and I wasn't offered a shuttle pass either. but whatever.

  16. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    What can I expect to go through at MEPS this Friday? I've been reading online that officer candidates get priority over the enlistee candidates. sounds pretty douche-y

  17. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    @edvaz90, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but why don't you make your own thread with questions instead of spamming the same question in every single thread on Government/Military? I can't...

  18. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks @Don't Tread On Me. Got another question for you regarding the APSR form... On the second page under "Current Physical Fitness Program" what is it exactly asking for? Is it asking for like...

    No my recruiter didn't know, but I was told they had around 70 spots for FY 2015. I'm assuming it'll be around the same this

  22. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    @Don't Tread On Me, are the people referring for me going to be asked to write a letter or something?? I didn't ask what they would have to do or what the packet for them contains. If so, I would like...

  23. Navy NCP question

    inspiredbynavy replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Government, Military

    I just got done meeting with my recruiter. Holy cow, the 6 hour drive there and back is horrendous. I think I will be able to finish in 2 weeks though. My MEPS day/interviews is setup for next...
