AMEDD Puerto Rico
I'm currently in the middle of enlisting in the Army Reserve, and after finishing my ASVAB, I was all set to head to MEPS this coming Tuesday, July 7th, to sign for a 92M slot as an E-4. But then I sat down with an uncle of mine who has 29 years in the military, and when I told him what they offered me, he couldn't believe it; he reminded me that since I have my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) with high honors, my permanent Puerto Rico license, and my active colegiación, I should be entering as a commissioned officer (Lieutenant) through an AMEDD recruiter, not as an enlisted soldier. When I confronted my recruiter about this, he actually tried to flip the blame on me, asking why I hadn't said anything sooner and acting like it was my fault, even though I handed him my official nursing degree. As a civilian, I obviously didn't know the difference between regular and medical recruiting—I just trusted him to guide me the right way based on my paperwork—so now I'm trying to find an AMEDD recruiter in Puerto Rico.
