i received an email in regards to a federal investigator wanting to do a teleinterview with me. is this an indication of something different i should expect? I have heard people usually receive emails from them.
Just received an email from a detailer about getting me into this weeks ODS (Aug. 23rd) was definitely not expecting this but dont want to miss out on this chance. I feel so unprepared as i haven’t even received hard orders yet… my family thinks its a good opportunity to not be delayed till next year but I’ve also been hoping to have my CCRN before i shipped off to ODS. I have so many questions that I’m sure the detailer could help me with, but i would love advice from those who have already been to ODS or have gotten into a class last minute. Any thoughts?
Edit: Thank you all for your advice, after further discussion, my recruiter said they do not have processors at their command this week and she is unable to book a flight or get me my required documents in a timely manner while the detailer is still processing hard orders. It’s just too short notice, So till next time thanks again!
Hello everyone,
Plan to graduate with my BSN by mid-December of this year. With 45 days to take the NCLEX, that puts me at around January of 2027. What’s a likely date that I will end up reporting to ODS granted I pass my NCLEX first try in January 2027? Just trying to plan ahead for financials/student loan repayment purposes— I’ve heard anywhere from 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, up to a year, etc. Anyone have any best guesses for this timeline? Thank you all!
I am planning to attend an absn program next year and I have family members in Japan so I would be happy if I can put Japan as my first choice and get it.
For the Army, I heard it's easy and almost guaranteed to get places like Korea if you ask for it since there's little demand ( especially if you know Korean ). I am wondering if that's the case for Navy nurses for Japan as well?
Hey yall for those who recently went through ODS how did back pay and bonus work? I’ve read and have been told different things. Does it get paid out all at once? Did it include BAH and if so was it from home of record? My recruiter said she wasn’t sure entirely. She said that they usually pay it out in payments. Any input would be awesome.
October ODS for March boards.
I’m 1910 trying to wiggle my way into 1920 at my first duty station. When I hear from my detailer can I ask which location has billets in 1920? The question I didn’t ask in my interviews 🤦🏽♀️
I’m stuck between these two. Any advise?
I do have LD and PP experience.
I'm looking for recent direct ascension time line for selection, commission, and ODS dates. Ive had my interviews for specialties I want based on my work history and MEPS next week. My packet is almost ready to submit. I know there's been a backlog for going to ODS which is fine and I prefer that. I have family travel plans mid Feb that I dont want to change or miss though.
Have actually lived overseas before as a spouse but I am now the active duty member and Guam will be our first duty station. We are sooo excited about it but know it’ll be an adjustment. Appreciate any advice!
Hello people. I was wondering how long the process would take to go to CRNA school in the Navy/if it’s doable. How long it would take. Etc. Also my recruiter said they don’t do tuition assistance for nurses anymore? Are we expected to pay out of pocket for our pre reqs?
Anyways - 3.5 years of trauma IMC at a level 1 trauma center - vents, titratable drips. Preceptor role, TCRN, TNCC, chair of 2 unit based councils. Started taking prereqs - chem 1 class this past July, got a job in the CICU in November then eventually planned to apply to CRNA school after 2 years but then the navy finally called after almost 2 long years saying they’re ready to take me this October…
I am trying to weigh my options here. I appreciate the stability of the navy and also want to hopefully serve 20 years for the pension/benefits. With that being said, what would the timeline be of getting into the ICU on my first tour. Going to DUINS after my first or second tour. Chances of being deployed in active war zones and xyz. My recruiter basically was implying to join, I’d have to give up the dream. Let me know what you guys think.

June boards. What’s your timeline looking like? I’m assuming I’ll be in Jan/Feb ODS for July Boards. .
Signed rank today. Recruiter says commissioning next week..
I’m curious if anyone selected from June boards has ODS date yet?
ADN for 13 years, but just finished my bachelor's early this year. My info is at CCPD right now, I've completed my interviews, and I've cleared MEPS. I'm just waiting for CCPD to come back and my packet should be ready to submit.
If the other posts are correct and they're not accepting anymore new graduates for FY2027, am I also disqualified?
My recruiter is on vacation and just wondering if anyone already knows.
I know my prior experience isn't counting towards rank.
Give me the tea. Especially on L&D!
Hey!! I just got my date for MEPS for NCP and i’m super nervous. what exactly should i expect? all i really heard from my recruiter is that it’s an in depth physical pretty much. any insight is appreciated!
Thought I'd share the cost of uniforms/items going into ODS. I keep hearing how it's going to costs upwards of 5k for uniforms. That is not the case at all. My total was $2118.85 for all required uniforms (male) minus dress blues. It's another $350 or so for dress blues. Only extra thing I added was a pair of PTUs, which was $25.
I’ve been messaging with a recruiter this past week just got a message saying the NCP is closed and won’t be taking new applicants at the moment. Is this true? any other avenues I could take as a BSN student?
For anyone that’s gone to ODS, do you know if they do Pap smears if you need one?
