    Weight Requirements

    carolinapooh replied to chanelle924's topic in Government, Military

    That SUCKS!!! When I went to MEPS, I was not long from having my horrid Mirena IUD removed (don't believe the "no weight gain", ladies - some of us are still affected by the hormones they claim are...

    COUNTDOWN TO MAY COT - restart

    carolinapooh replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Something I'm VERY glad they've included in this update - understand that the amount will be taken from your first paycheck to cover it (just loading this up front so it's not a surprise). That would...

    Black women hair in the air force

    carolinapooh replied to renu47's topic in Government, Military

    Again, it's going to depend on who sees it and if THEY think it's OK. Unfortunately what's "clean and neat" to us may not be viewed the same way by someone else. I'm not trying to be obtuse - none of...

    Interested in joining military while taking nursing classes - need advice

    carolinapooh replied to nursetobe67's topic in Government, Military

    If you don't want to be deployed for more than four months at a time, you may want to rethink your approach. Six months has pretty much become the standard deployment across the services. And please -...

    Military ADN

    carolinapooh replied to luftjagerCLPN's topic in Government, Military

    I'm going to piggyback on what Just has already said. You really need to talk with a Health Professions Recruiter. These guys and gals aren't the ones in the shopping malls and shopping centers; you...

    New Running Plan, etc.

    carolinapooh replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    Don't want to play with us down on the Riverwalk and at BAMC? I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed. :) BTW, your running is both impressing me and inspiring me! Way to

    Weight Requirements

    carolinapooh replied to chanelle924's topic in Government, Military

    Just is totally correct. I would be prepared to go in there about two pounds under according to the scale at home because then you know you're

    Thanks for passing that on. What sucks is they seem to update it at the last minute every

    carolinapooh replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    That's not a bad idea - at the very least you could start getting that sort of stuff

    waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    carolinapooh replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    Definitely take your DD214. What they'll probably do right now - for the most part - is talk to you about the program and go over qualifications, and probably give you the application packet so you...

    Is there any real difference between military and non-military?

    carolinapooh replied to Raven713's topic in Government, Military

    I only did one term as an enlisted, and I sort of pooh-poohed all that "military transition to civilian" stuff - but I found out I should've paid more attention to it. It IS hard! You wouldn't think...

    Is there any real difference between military and non-military?

    carolinapooh replied to Raven713's topic in Government, Military

    Maybe I'm spoiled, but the atmosphere seems more civil and respectful than on the civilian side - here, someone's boss is either probably going to outrank you or be your commander, and I think people...

    Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    carolinapooh replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Is it totally wrong that I'm enjoying the TMI tales, or should I hide it all under the guise of "learning experience" since I'm not an OR RN? :eek::uhoh21: (Or is it more confirmation that I've led a...

    I thought you were in an ICU. So now it makes more sense to me. Sometimes people just make NO

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    It didn't change, ma'am. I edited myself to avoid ticking people off further and because I'd read it and realize - hmm, might not want to go there. I didn't change information, really - and I'll admit...

    Countdown to May COT...

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Again - Reservists who are either entitled to Tricare, or those who require access to DOD systems. If you are a Reservist, and you fit neither of those categories, you don't get a CAC - you get a DD...

    Countdown to May COT...

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    So I'll clarify. If you're not RECALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY as a Reservist, you're either standby, ready, irr, or retired. These four categories can be and are recalled to active duty as needed. Standbys...

    Water consumption at COT

    carolinapooh replied to mambojennifer's topic in Government, Military

    I'll throw out what we were told - we were told they had laid off on standardizing bags because it was impossible for everyone to purchase the same bag from the OTS shoppette - they didn't keep them...
