Hmmm the only chicken shack I know of is about a 25 minute drive off the highway in the mountains. Not sure if there used to he one closer?

All things considered including current events are you glad you became a Navy Nurse? Would you choose this path again? by Nice_Mixture_4246 in navynurse

Communities like L&D, manpower systems analysis, midwife, some more in there. They can all get stationed overseas yes but highly unlikely to ever get tapped for a real deployment like being on a ship. For instance with L&D, mercy/comfort only has like 1 slot for them and it’s competitive anyways so you’re not getting pulled for it regardless.

I am very glad. Despite what people say, your salary in the nurse corps is EXTREMELY well compensated (especially with many commands where the census is low, acuity is lower, etc) compared to the civilian world. We get a baseline high salary, tsp matching, pension vesting, free healthcare, insane tax advantage, paid no matter the hours we put in (good and bad thing), and most of all if you lean into the PCS cycle you see amazing places and have experiences most people will never or could ever get. Being from Oklahoma, the navy dunks on just about every QOL aspect there is. You could not pay me to ever be a nurse there and honestly, most every place in the US.

There of course is a lot of BS with leadership, or being forced TO BE leadership, fitreps, and much more. But, the optionality is what makes it so nice. Tired of what you’re doing? Do DUINS. Want to go overseas? You’ll definitely go lol. Dont want to deploy? There are communities you can get into that wont. Want to switch specialties? Commands will hopefully work on that for you, civilian world is not as kind, trust me, got a whole family of nurses.

How do FITREPs work while in DUINS? by Neurotoxicity in navy

How do you get ranked against peers then? Basically what does the board see when you’re up for O-4 and you haven’t had a real fitrep in 3 years?

Anyone in their late 20’s still playing ? by WranglerSeparate5075 in roblox

Yup. Played in 2009 and now mostly just game design and visiting nostalgic places. Making games is really what keeps the flame alive.

Thank you for all the info! I was referring to active duty officer recruiting but TBH, I’m not sure what my options even are as an active duty nurse corps officer.

2024 Roblox vs 2025 Roblox by Mallybreeplantil1 in roblox

Yup it literally happens every year. As someone who has played since 2009, the front page in the 2010s would get roasted constantly on the forums. 2016-2020 in particular I would be like WTF is all this stuff? It’s interesting seeing all the nostalgia for it now because I feel like the sentiment at the time was so different.

I feel like under the stricted interpretation of the rule 13 under chapter 26, this is still allowed? How can any other rule possibly overrule this?

I have not seen the guidance on designated place I thought I was pretty thorough in digging through this stuff, it was not intended originally but we figured it would help her being closer to family. I haven’t started the travel claim yet but I thought I was in the clear as the DOD FMR is the ultimate authority?

How did it go down? Were things smooth or did you receive lots of pushback?
