Congratulations LT! It is an awesome feeling, isn't it? Hooah! :yeah::yeah:

Hang in there girl! I was trying to remember, I think that my packet went to boards on a Thursday and my recruiter called Friday. So hopefully you will hear today! If nothing else give him a call! Keep yourself occupied and quit wearing holes in your...

The way I read it was a straight up 50K sign on bonus, with that being said you made me rethink what it means. :) I will give him a call to clarify.

I hate bugs...so bug spray, check!! I am still waiting on orders, so I am thinking either April or June. Nothing set in stone though.

So I emailed my recruiter about this issue and this was his response verbatim: "Actually, Army Nurses volunteering for active duty during FY09 are elligible for $40K per year for a three year obligation totaling $120K. Army Reserve Nurses are being o...

Congrats ladies on getting this far!! Kelly, you are right what is another couple of weeks, hang in there!! Good luck!!

******* figures...I am going to pop an email to my recruiter as well.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! :)

Kelly, Are you going to make the Nov boards?!!?

Kelly, I just thought of something on your supervisor forms. When did you have your sups fill them out? The Army updated that particular form for July 08. My recruiter contacted me and told me that I needed to have them submitted again but on the pro...

Kelly, The supervisor recs are forms with checkboxes...if you need them I will forward them to you. I think your recruiter is smoking something funny!

Well boys and girls... I did it!! I commissioned into the ARNC as a 2LT and in 6mos I will be promoted. Still feeling pretty surreal at this point but proud that I am following in the footsteps of past and present nurses who stepped up to do this job...

I believe that AFCPT hit the nail on the head. What it ultimately comes down to is being the best RN that I can be as well as being the best soldier I can be. The APFT does not determine what a person is capable of, they are physical guidelines set b...

Kelly, Glad you liked it!! There are times when I come up with some good stuff! heheee Question, where did you go on the HRC site to view the listings?? Stacee

Too funny!! How about SaluteMeBaby!! hehe :chuckle

I am not really sure, I just ran across the page this morning. Maybe others can provide some insight? Stacee

Way to go LT Cathy, Ma'am (got to get used to that one)!!!! :yeah::yeah::yeah: Edie, HRC is the Human Resouces Command. https://www.hrc.army.mil/site/index-flash.aspx

Just make sure that your recruiter thoroughly answers any questions you may have before you sign. It is important to feel confident in your decision before approching the dotted line. Again congrats!

Hi Kelly, Congrats on getting your packet completed, it can be a very long process. To answer your question the Oct board was on the 15th, I can't remember exactly but I think that the deadline for application submission was 10/5 or somewhere in ther...

Oh, hehe....that would totally suck!! Much better to send a piece of paper as my representative!!!

Yes, it is part of the process. You have to complete your application, medical exam, submit all required documents. During this process you are given your RN identifer "66H" as well as any other identifiers based on your specialty. Before your appli...

Edie, Do you mean do all the applications go to the same board? It is not a stupid question at all. The way that my recruiter explained it to me was that a bunch of senior officers MAJ and higher went through the applications. They make the decision ...

I chose to take my student loan incentive first that way I get that burden out of the way first, although having the bonus up front would be nice too. Just it just depends on what you want to do. One thing that I have defintaley learned through this ...

Hi Mom, Congrats!! I made it through board this month and will be commisioning sometime early November! Yay us! During my application process my recruiter gave me a form to fill out that asked for my student loan info which included the payee, addre...

Ha! I don't know exactly!! I was just thinking to cut everything in half that way I will be pleasantly surprised when I get more money!! However I like the 28% vs 50% much better!!
