    Thanks missmollie, I was hoping there was some magic nursing key word that would do it...that's pretty much what I've been doing. Episteme, they total sided, and that is why she doesn't want anything...

    504 medic replied to ArmyMomRN2014's topic in Government, Military

    They don't expect Medical officers to stay very long in the Reserves/Guard...and they don't plan on using you to fill sand bags or go on patrols, so you can be an older soldier, with less military...

  14. Heading to BOLC phase 2 (2014)

    504 medic replied to faunurse's topic in Government, Military

    Camp Bullis in June will be brutal. Learn how to drink water, and lots of it. I'll make studying much easier when you aren't fighting hypovolemia at the same time. Keep shooting for that 97%, being...

    Until you "sign" (thumb print digital signature) your contract, NOTHING is written in stone. And once you sign...it's in stone. So be prepared to walk out the door if things aren't to your liking....

  19. Home from Afghanistan!

    504 medic replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    Welcome home, thanks for your service. Hitting to Supermarket the first time back is a trip. It'll take a bit for the glow of the first deployment to thin, but when it does, don't feel bad about...
