    No, you’re good LOL. That does bring up a good point to people reading this post in the future. If you’re turned down by one recruiter, definitely get a second opinion from a different

  2. FY2020 Army Nurse Corps

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    That was just what I was told. A friend of mine tried to join as a 66H with ONLY oncology infusion experience and his CV was denied for not actually having med surge experience. Exactly why I said to...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    From my understanding, to Direct Commission the Army is not looking for experience in a nursing home setting. To be a med-surge nurse you must have at least 1-2 years experience on a med-surge

    Still no commissioning orders, but I did get a welcome letter and challenge coin from the Recruiting Battalion's Commander. That's something, no?

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Still waiting to be commissioned LOL. This wait is the worst! I had to sign a letter of intent on September 1st saying that I am still wanting to accept a commission and that I am only waiting for my...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you! Since you're further in the process than I am, what does "scroll release" mean exactly? I was told that my scroll was already approved awhile back when I was waiting for this waiver to...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Found out yesterday that my medical waiver has been approved and everything is a go! Recruiter said now that everything has been approved, they’re just waiting for my packet to drop down in their...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Hey man, good people mess up sometimes. I had to get a moral waiver myself for an arrest back when I was 17 (I had to get the same waiver when I enlisted in 2011). Don’t give up! My goal is to serve...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    I’m so sorry to hear that... what was your waiver for? Have you looked into the Air Force and Navy? If you start now, you’ll be able to send a packet to the September Air Force

    ReconMedic replied to 1425oes's topic in Government, Military

    You only need a year to apply, but 2 years will make you competitive. By the time the board meets I will have about 1 year and 10 months of experience and will have just over 2 years when I would...

  13. Airforce October 2020

    ReconMedic replied to 1425oes's topic in Government, Military

    I am contemplating on applying to the October boards. I just went through the process with the Army and submitted a packet to the April boards but was placed on the OML. If I don’t get pulled from...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Haha yeah I don’t even know... it was crazy. The commander just kept apologizing, but I have no clue how that messed up. Yeah, I have to wait for someone to decline their commission or wait until...

    ReconMedic replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Interesting. It sounds like you were able to find out if you were selected or not before your waiver was approved. I feel like my recruiter is holding back on telling me I was selected until the...
