[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 16087, member: 255"] This process with husband applying for the Navy Nurse Corp is really putting our patience to the test. husband graduated at the top of his class, belongs to the National Honor Society for Nurses, he works in both the ICU and OR. You would think the Navy would snatch him up! But it has been 3 long months of waiting for an answer from them. Then today we get an email saying that he now has to wait until May to go to Officer School. ugh! They have done everything from lose his paperwork, to lie to us and tell us everything was fine and he was leaving in March..only for us to just now find out that it is going to be 3 more months. He is so upset. Plus, the school date in May is only 3 days shy of his b. day and after that he will be too old to join the Navy. So we are taking a real risk of waiting until May and hoping nothing else happens. I don't know what to tell him. He wants to rip the recruiter a new one, but I keep reminding him not to burn his bridges so quickly. Nursing jobs are a dime a dozen, but he wants the military because he would only need 12 years to retire (he has prior service)and of coarse all the really good benefits, housing allowance, etc. ugh! just needed to vent [img]:tears:[/img] [/QUOTE]
