student loans

Published

My packet went to the board for this month and was accepted. I am going to commision on Tuesday. Does my total of my student loans that is going to be paid back need to be written in my contract? The recruiter is telling me that information will need to be given to the unit that I am being assigned. Just want to have all the facts before Tuesday. Thanks

Hi,

I had the "check list" form for the ICU "identifier" when I filled out the forms in Jan 2008....so, it must not be that new!

If you are itching to be an "8a", then I would definitely rack-up some more hours before submitting your packet.......

Girls..... you need 1500 hours for specialty.... and yes it needs to be on letterhead. I just did this for my packet. I typed mine up and had my department head sign it after she double checked with the person that keeps the time. I guess I did the math all right cause it was all ready a couple of days later when I showed up for work.

Like I said, I am NOWHERE close..but Im working on it!! Every shift gets me closer!!! Even with all the problems Ive had thus far with the LOR's, I still cant help but get excited everytime I think about joining the Army..which is usually all the time. Its just been a big part of my life for the last year, it just seems like its the right thing to do.

I am hopeful. I turned in my last two corrections on Monday. My recruiter told me their meeting the 18thh and I should now by the 21st. States there shouldn't be any problem. Anyone else? --edie

Im hoping, but at this point, its highly doubtful. Irritation over the whole thing isnt even the word at the moment...
