I would agree with the other replies, and also add. Do not down play your civ offers. Any experience is good experience, and unfortunately you were not selected on the first go round. Every day that...
Lunah: I would recommend having all 4 ACU's, that way you can 2 sets identified as field uniforms, and 2 sets identified as garrison uniforms. Sometimes the field dirt, (especially red clay) does not...
So I signed a "letter of intent" yesterday that my recruiter sent. Is that the only thing that you all signed or was there more. I am already in the Reserve, and I have an active clearance, so I don't...
I wanted to start a thread for all of the people who are waiting for the November ANC selection board, specifically if you have/waiting on the M5 identifier for Emergency Nursing. I thought we could...
So I talked to my recruiter today to be sure I was not behind on things, because I have not signed anything yet, and had no idea what was going on. I was told that I could not be commissioned until...
Here are the updates from the Human Resources website. For those of us with M5, the lowest rank listed on the slots was CPT. The reason for this may be that by the time typical new accessions...
AJ, LA40 and Elumine: Stay strong, use this year to work on your credentials and gaining experience. Your commissions will be that much sweeter to you when you signed, knowing that you hurdled some...
Lunah, Congrats on getting your stuff started, taking the oath and 1LT! Note of caution, I would check to be sure that the rank is correct, as that could create pay, promotion, separation and/or...
I am on the fence about that one. I was in San Antonio last year in June, and it was nasty hot, but I have always been of the opinion that when it concerns the Army I would rather sweat:flamesonb...
Just_cause: Are you in the reserves now or are you PS? I was wondering if your recruiter told you when they were going to sign your documents, if you had to wait to wear the rank etc. I am just a...
MBARN is correct. The course guarantees simply guarantee that you will go to a course, not when. New grad nurses must complete the Nurse Transition Program (they may have changed the name by now)...
To my knowledge the candidates are ranked, and placed on the list in order. Your status is changed as spots become available. For instance if they have ROTC or other new grads contracted and they...
Can I say again, I am so excited! I found a few links on AKO that may be helpful with uniforms, packing lists etc. Let me know if you can not get them to open, I will take screenshots and send to you...
It is also embarrassing to have an officer with no decorum, or the intestinal fortitude to stand up for themself, or those under him/her, or be willing to teach those that may not be as knowledgable....
Care & Joy: I was the other person, Yipeee! Are you M5 too? The competition was stiff this year. We are still hoping for Freefalle, Elumine and some others. SFC Jimenez: New 1LT was...
I will happily repost, clarify and state for the record:yeah: 66HM5, 2LT, Active Duty Hopefully I will be O1E, but I will take that up with finance at a later date:D (Warning: I may overuse smileys...
so i get updates on all nurses to my email because i like to follow the threads that i subscribe too. it had not been working for the past few days. i have been working like crazy, so i would not...
Elumine: I am applying for the direct route, I have a BSN, and I also had the M5 identifier approved. I have been working in an ED for 2.5 years. I thing the army also has a selection status like...
Daisy We have been speculating about this... At the risk of beating a dying horse I'll say read the previous posts on this thread. Who knows when we will hear results it could be as fast as tomorrow,...
I think the name of the Hospital at Ft. Carson is Evans Army Community Hospital. It is a MEDDAC(Medical Department Activity) =hospital smaller than a MEDCEN(medical center). If you are looking for...
Of we find out faster, then yay for us, but I just want everyone to be prepared so they don't drive themselves crazy over thanksgiving if they don't hear anything. It would be so cool if we would find...
I mentioned this earlier, if it goes like last years boards you may not know an answer until the 1st or 2nd week in December. Then it will be late January to get the scrolls signed by congress. Then...
