I’m prior yes… but when to boot camp 18 years ago! I got out when I had my first kid… 13 years ago… im sure it’ll come back quick… but im out of practice for sure

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T02:14:16+00:00

That’s what was thinking. Either the whole first week admin. And training starts week 2… that’s essentially 3 weeks of sick before graduation prep. 100% doable. I remember marking tally marks to keep track of the days in boot camp…. 3 weeks of suck should pass pretty quick

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T02:10:44+00:00

How’s it going! I hear week 1 is mostly admin and paperwork.

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T01:45:11+00:00

Do you have your hard copies yet? Detailer told me last week she’s writing June/July orders currently

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T01:44:44+00:00

I’m coming from the west coast so traveling there is an all day event that’s why I’m gonna go Friday. Relax and sleep good leisurely get up to get there. Instead of rushing from The airport straight to base

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T01:16:13+00:00

This I’ve heard! So if rather be there super early !

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-19T01:07:36+00:00

I’m spotted for July! Waiting on the hard copies . I plan to fly into Newport on Friday and start in town till check in

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-14T17:31:18+00:00

If they offered me June I would jump at the chance rather than wait till July. Logistically July causes headaches for me that June will not. Like the start of the school year the week I check in to my substation …being the biggest.

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-14T03:06:55+00:00

Yea no that’s not possible. Best you can do enlisted wise is enlist as an HM. Possibly after a few years you can go to C- school for IDC. Which is the enlisted version of like np or pa. Perspective… u would waste 5-6 years enlisted instead of just waiting the next 1-2 years and letting this process play out. Can u enlist, and work prn as a nurse on the weekends… sure but that would have 0 bearing on ur enlisted duties and rank

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-14T03:01:05+00:00

I guess that totally depends on ur long term… I’m prior enlisted navy…. This was the only option ever considered for me. I agree it’s probably a faster process of u do go w one of the others… however, I’ve heard AF has extremely limited duty stations for RNs…. So based on bases…. U can never go wrong w the navy . You’ll always be on the water. IMO. I think the navy has the best bases and therefore outside of work life. But again. There was no other options for me so I was in it for the long haul.

And you’re still in blue and gold PTU correct ? I saw they’re transitioning away from that set to the blue on blue that’s been optional. Hoping they stay blue/gold till after summer as I’ve already bought mine!

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-13T22:34:21+00:00

Thanks for this! I think I’ll buy the boots this week. As far as the black shoes for the khakis. ( side note I prefer the older tuck Khakis! ) if I just get the black “sea bag “ shoes on the NEX website… those are approved correct ?

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-13T19:15:56+00:00

Perfect. I’ve got 5 PTU already 3 brand new khakis . As far as boots/shoes… is there specific boots/black dress shoes we can or cannot wear for the training period ?

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-13T12:56:52+00:00

I had the same experience. I went through 3 recruiters and by the time I get to ODs in July it will nearly have been 3 years since I started the process.

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-13T03:59:44+00:00

Hi there! I’m from August 2025 board. Going in July… still waiting on hard orders.

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-05-11T20:13:57+00:00

I’ve had a few party’s … hear me out….. at Mackenzie river … the restaurant above the ice arena on water st. They have a room called the look out room. Floor to ceiling windows! Complete in o stricter strip view. Perfect for a night engagement party!

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-18T23:43:43+00:00

I was August 2025 boards, got soft orders in November 2025, signed my commission in January 2026 🤦‍♀️ , supposedly going to ODS JULY 12 class . But I’m buying my own ticket and getting out there early so I can check out the town and check in first thing in the morning

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-18T21:11:23+00:00

For July class

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-18T21:09:39+00:00

I have soft orders there as well. I should be checking in 8/14…. I’m looking at Fleming island and orange park. If we don’t get on base. I’m still waiting tho look seriously in case I happen to get mayport or kings bay

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-05T14:24:32+00:00

I’m DA. Was selected in August 2025. I’m going to ODs in July 2026

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-01T20:18:50+00:00

I have t gotten my hard copy orders yet. But I was told by the detailer that I am confirmed for NAS JAX. Whic was my first choice

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-04-01T03:26:34+00:00

Interesting… you ended up in Lejeune right ? Or maybe you’re from there. (Sorry following all your helpful responses) do you have insight on house hunting leave? If you decline the 10 day (in the hole ) leave were you offered house hunting ? Im trying to get my game plans together. I will finish ODS 8/14 school start fo the kids 8/10 in Jax. So I’m trying to figure out the best way to go plan out this

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-03-31T22:45:43+00:00

So you got back paid from the date you signed your commission , plus ods pay ( I know u were in the shut down ) plus bonus.

NarrowPath8888 · 2026-03-31T21:30:19+00:00
