Afternoon brothers and sisters was just curious on the pipeline for the L50B NEC and what order opportunities come with it. I am currently up for orders and was told I would have to pick a NMRTC where they would then send me to a civilian Paramedic program to pick up the NEC and that being the only path but looking through CANTRACS I saw a Combat Paramedic schoolhouse in FT Sam and San Diego. Not sure if it’s the same thing or something different looking for clarification between the 2 if anyone knows.

hello! does anyone know how long it takes to hear back from the HMTT coordinators to see if you got accepted to go? is it super competitive to get into? I applied for the class that starts July 12th :) Honestly any info is great!! TYA

I really need some advice. I am 34 years old, almost 35 years old. I enlisted today in the Navy because I was told it would be years before I was able to get a direct commission with a college degree. I am going back to school for a BSN and eventually a DNAP.

I initially wanted reserves and had zero interest in active duty. I got talked into TAR, then when I got to MEPS I got denied a TAR contract because they said that they were too unmanned to write those.

Ive been in a desperate situation since March when I fled my husband and domestic violence and despite having a civilian job as an operations manager, I am only making $22 bucks an hour. I have been sleeping in my car since mid-March and I am desperate as its getting hot. I didnt tell them this, but I figured I could use active duty to stabilize my life. I reluctantly got talked into Corpsman.

I have 13 years of nursing experience, but not a BSN. I left MEPS and instantly wanted to bawl when I saw essentially the job description is a CNA/EMT. Those are admirable professions, but in the opposite direction I am wanting to move. I have been reassured if I finish my BSN Program that I can apply for a nurse billet, but all the programs I've called do not have the flexibility to work with weekend clinicals only. This is the entire reason I joined was for:

1. Stability

2. To pay for school​​​​​

I am now wondering if I should back out of DEP and go to the Tennessee National Guard because I could get done with school faster, and just live like shit in a camper while I do. I would love advice on how to strategically get to my goal, if at all, with my current choice since I already joined, or if I should go ahead and back out.

I’m gonna be going to 2nd MARDIV and I was told the med bags issued where kinda shitty and was recommended the Tasmanian tiger and or the eberlestock bag. Any input is greatly appreciated

Anyone have any knowledge about NSW training group? Hopefully going there for next duty station and can’t seem to find much online.

Hello everyone I’m graduating from Corps School in June and I got assigned to an EMU in Camp Lejune. Any advice or information about what that entails would be great. Also how hard would it be to try and see if I can put in a package for FMTB while I’m there?
