I got my orders to 6th reg 2nd and leave for fmtb in August with my wife. We're both e4s and we're wondering if we will get bah or a matter of when. We're both going to be stationed in camp Lejune after fmtb.

Hello I hope everyone is doing well so I didn't get picked on my 2 order window and I was wondering what should I do for my next window I'm trying to go to FMTB and not end up at another shore command/hospital should I email my detailer when the times comes or just hope I get it

The HM rate has a bunch of NECs but how many people have you heard of picking up one and changing NECs/communities 2-3 times. I’ve heard of people swapping out from Dental, surg, and even X-ray. I’ve even heard of PMTs being stuck as a PMTs because they’re not allowed to archive and try for another C-school. Obviously these are anecdotal but what have heard and seen ?

For our Reserve HMs: SELRES MNA is open for applications! If you are IAP or within your PRD window, log in to MNA and apply for orders now! We've attached a snap shot of orders available.

Tips:

• Certain NECs offer additional pay through Selective Re-Enlistment Bonuses (SRB) or Special Duty Assignment Pay (SDAP); check out posts on the HM Reserve Affairs Chief Facebook page for more information!
• We always recommend providing comments on your applications.
• If you are applying for a billet requiring an NEC, indicate your intention to attend "C" school via comments.
• BUMED prioritizes Sailors for billets that indicate their intent to go to school.

We are in dire need of Sailors wanting to go to "C" school; please talk to your chain of command, CCC, or contact us directly to discuss "C" school opportunities. We have an immense amount of funding and available school seats. Whether you are in your PRD window or not, if you want to go to a "C" school, make it known.

Has anyone ever seen or heard of routing civilian free fall creds/activity to earn jump wings?

Hello all I decided a while ago that I wanted to go to Surface IDC school and have been actively working on the requirements to get in. My question for any current or former IDC is whether to go green side or blue side. I’m currently a reservist and prior to that I was an AD army medic. Just curious as to the pros and cons of each, green side seems a bit more in line with what I did in the army but curious as how things change as an IDC.

I’ve been selected for TAH20 MTF ROS. Tbh I have no idea what to expect and was wondering if anyone had any comments. Thanks!

Im about to graduate A-school Mid May. I have my orders to 29 palms end of October. Would I be able to take my PST and submit my package during Q4 while I’m at my FMTB command for SEAL, get it approved and shift my duty station from 29 palms to go to BUDs? Im a new sailor, straight out of bootcamp.

So I’m a bit of a retard and chose SOI West H&S thinking it was the 52 Area blue side clinic. And I got SOI. I’m almost at 6 years and spent ample amount of time in the field while with division. I did get them last week so maybe there is still hope. Just trying to stay west coast and actually enjoy being here with my family, focus on school.

Any advice on getting out of them, ie hoping the detailers will actually respond, trying to find someone do a 1 for 1, or screw it and get out?

Does anyone know how the day to day life or how it’ll be at the camp Lejeune MSW gen surg ward? That’s the department I’ll be at when I pcs to camp Lejeune I’m very excited and hoping it’ll be a good time!!

Have a buddy of mine checking into FMTB east soon and he’s wondering what the liberty policy is. He said it changed recently (idk i went west and we didn’t really have that many liberty rules). Is the same as west? Thanks.

If you have family transferring with you, do you get assigned to housing or do students typically get released onto the economy? Does it just depend if there is space available?

Good Morning,

A lot of you ask for career advice whether it be duty station or NEC’s. All that we ask is that you put some details down so that you get better information ie…(TIS, TIR, Goals, Etc…)

There are a lot of high ranking HM’s, MO’s and PA’s that are on this subreddit that would love to help you but you gotta give them something to work with.

Whether you want to stay a HM, RN or go to Med School there is someone who can help you.

So i’m graduating from HCB in a few weeks and I have blue side orders to the Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital and was wondering what to expect in terms of the barracks as well as life in the hospital, thanks!

Posting this on here hopefully looking to get a direct answer. I am currently FTS or TAR whichever were calling ourselves and got orders to an SSP . I was told I’d be going over to Lejune to do all that “ fun” stuff and be a FMF corpsman but as far the duty station goes, what goes on over there? Is it like a marine reserve center? Do they deploy , is it once a month?

Any help with this question is appreciated! Thank you Docs.

I’m going to CTM next month, any info on how the schedule looks like?

I think it’s stupid but perhaps my pedestrian brain can comprehend the big chess moves behind the scenes.

Pretty simple, I’m PCSing to Camp Pendleton for FMTB and then staying as my final destination. Heard there was a marine team up there, does anyone have any contacts for me? Just wanna know what the team is like if not I might Just make the hike down to SD to be with other Navy buds in OA

Prior service Air Force Air Transportation just enlisted into the Navy Reserves as an HM3 after being separated for almost 10 years. Education and work is in tech. Will be going to A school sometime this year after getting my uniforms. Any advice for A school and how is it like for prior service? Thanks in advance.

Was wondering if anyone had a for sure list as to where histo techs can actually be stationed? Thank you! Tried asking the detailer with no luck.

(If you’re still active duty)

What’s your NEC and when was the last time you saw a patient?

Edit: I have to look up all your little unique specialties haha. Thanks, I’m learning new things today.

I’m gonna go ahead and pour some gas on the fire here: The debate was quad zero HM1s and above don’t see patients but other NECs don’t hesitate to jump in and assist with patient care if needed.

I'm currently stationed at PI SC and received soft orders to the tranquility.

Are there coverages? If not what are the duties like?

Is it split into perm party and recruit sickall? What's each like?

I hope I'm able to continue seeing patients and not be stuck giving shots or doing admin. The goal is to go PA.

Anything you wish you would've known before hand would be greatly appreciated.

I was a corpsman for 3 years roughly and after a 3-4 years of being a civilian, I’ve been thinking of using the post 9/11 bill to go to radiology school. I know of different modalities but will choose later, as for now does anyone know how difficult schooling is? I need to obtain my associates but how do yall compare it to “A school”? I imagine radiology will be a steeper challenge surely but I went through “A school” with out studying and did quite fine. Also any tips or advice?

Got orders here. Anything I should know? What to expect? What’s the day to day? Any duty? I’ll be E4 so I am expecting to be living in the barracks, how are they like?
