So I signed onto the HRC Website yesterday (while at work) and saw that I was not on the list. I was mad until I realized there were no medical branches on it! I found a message on Facebook that AMEDD FY15 MAJ results are not out until 29 OCT... Why is Medical the Redheaded stepchild of the Army? I know when I was on deployment, the injured soldiers were glad I was there! (Soldiers and MWD!)

We are not step children (I'm Medical Service) but we are different from our ACC peers. Officers of the ACC don't get constructive credit for thier experience, since a great deal of AMEDD officer do get credit (Masters=1LT, PhD= CPT, etc) our board has to be separate. We have different considerations and complex formulas to "figure out" what our credited year group is. I see that you are a CRNA, did you get any constructive credit when you commissioned? Did you do ROTC or a direct appointment? They are releasing the Major selection relsults soon, the prepo date for the list is 19 October. Your O-6 commander should call you and let you know if you made it or not. Good luck.
