Not anything like that in the US Military. There are weight loss camps, but they are private and you pay for them yourself, and they have nothing to do with the military. If you join the military, you do so with the expectation of "readiness" for deployment which includes getting in shape...

OK...your "assignment" is actually an essay contest where you could win up to $10,000.00. Hope your intentions are not here asking for what amounts to us doing the essay for you. See Patriot's Pen essay contest at: http://www.vfw.org/index.cfm?fa=cmty.leveld&did=151 Look, kid. Veterans value...

Maybe the problem lies in your method of teaching?

Hmmm...Army and Air Force Nurses don't have to take a lie detector test. I don't see why it would be different for the Navy.

You would use your education benefits earned from military service and hope to get into medical school. Getting into medical school is difficult no matter where you apply...the standards are quite high so plan on having a great undergrad GPA. I don't know that military service as a paremedic...

All they are going to do is a visual, no touching. If you can produce a current pap, you will be fine.

He probably won't get into any trouble so long as his obligations to the child don't interfere with his performance. If your friend expects to receive child support and other benefits, she needs to get a court order that establishes his financial obligations. The Navy won't recognize the child...

Not always. It may depend on the way someone gets their commission. For example, I got my commission directly after college, and went straight to Officer Basic Course, which by it's name tells you it is NOT the same that enlisted go through. The OBC that I went through included medical...

Yes, they can. Also, they can deny her request to resign her commission. At least that is what I've seen in practice as a Nurse in the Army Reserves myself. I don't know the regs on this since it is not an issue that has touched me personally. But somehow there is a mechanism in place that has...

You again? I see you are cutting and pasting the same rant from previous Qs (that probably got deleted? lol)

lol...I love how some people will comment without even giving the article a chance. She makes some good points. I agreed with most of what she had to say...this time. I don't always agree or share her opinion, but hey that's the way it goes, right?

How many times are you gonna post this? Attention seeking troll. Thanks for an easy two points.

Do you mean commercial flights? No, we don't get to fly commercial flights for free. The only "free" flights we get are ones that are related to an assignment, where we must be flown in order to do our job. With military fights, you could try to do a Space A, but the availability is rather...

Once you are finished with Basic and AIT, you will report to your assigned reserve unit. If the reserve unit gets activated, then it chances are you will go since you are MOS q by that time.

Well, where else besides the military can a person get on-the-job training, get PAID while training, get most if not all the items they need for their job issued to them (uniform, equipment, etc), receive a steady pay check, have full medical n dental benis, education benis, opportunities for...
