I dont know where to begin because everything seems to be travelling so fast. I am considering joining the Army Reserves as a Nurse, but dont know if I even meet the requirements that I have read about. My recruiter, which I think is wise not to believe, says I do. I just dont want to get everything set in stone, go through OCS and then find out that they needed to reclass me because it was discovered that I dont meet requirements.

My background. I am former USAF AD (8 years) and have a BS in Microbiology. I am 34 years old, and looking at getting my commission in the Army in the medical field. Dont think this has anything to do with this, but I am also recieving 50% military disability compensation from my earlier committment in the USAF. My recruiter got a letter stating that I will be headed in as a nurse(66H), and I have a copy of that letter (from the hiring office). I have the commissioning board on 05Dec2007 and am going to MEPs immediately after to get all my dates (warrior training, OCS, and school).

My recruiter said that all I am required to have is 30 credits of Gen Ed, 30 credits in science, and a GPA of 2.75. Can anyone confirm this or am I having the wool pulled over my eyes? Also, what should I be looking out for?

Recruiter said Ill go to 4 weeks of warrior training (instead of the 10 week), OCS, and then either the AMEDD or other school of my choice to complete an ASN. Ill be doing my required drill time in the mean time, but being paid full time as a 2nd Lt.

Please feel free to email me if you have any additional info, but Ill check back here as well.

Thanks!
