   j.a.m.rn13 replied to aferg002's topic in Government

   The Marine Corps uses Navy medical support and there are billets available for Navy nurses with the Marines. I believe they would be considered operational billets and I think they are usually for ER/critical care/surgical type subspecialties. I am a...

   j.a.m.rn13 replied to Chelle2013RN's topic in Government

   I actually didn't get orders until May and went to ODS in June. I don't think it typically takes that long. Apparently it had to do with availability of spots in ODS and funding for issuing new accession orders at the time.

   j.a.m.rn13 replied to j.a.m.rn13's topic in Government

   The post I'm referring to is old from 2012 but it is one of the most helpful threads I read on here to prepare for ODS. It is called "New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-Need Any Help?" It has many comments but if you read thru there is a lot of good info.

   1. You should definitely bring your ID, birth certificate, passport, Oath of Office, orders, any award letter you may have. As for medical/dental records, I just brought my shot records with me. I think if there is anything that needs to be requested...

   Have you read the posts on here about things to bring with you? That was very helpful and pretty accurate. The only civilian clothes I needed were the ones I wore for travel and 1 set of civilian work out clothes. They wanted all of the money for mea...

   I was told I was selected by the board in December but just recently found out I am supposed to commission this month and go to ODS June 4th. They never came out and said I was an alternate but I am pretty sure that's the case based on little things ...

    Mine took about 2 months. (Sent to board middle of October, I found out that I was selected on December 12th.) I haven't really heard anything else since then. I know the holidays delay things. So perhaps I will hear more soon. I still don't know whe...
