For someone who is going to be looking at housing in the near future, what's the drive like from Germantown and Gaithersburg respectively? Thanks.

I'm feeling jealous!!!
You know there is a MARC train from Germantown about every 20 minutes in the morning start at 0530, right? Takes 1 hr to get to Union Station and then 24 minutes to get to the medical center on the Red Line. Probably not something you want to do everyday, but maybe nice to have the option. At least you could study on the train rather than fume in traffic!
Or you could get off at the Garrett Park stop and bike in with me!! (Yeah, I talk big - I have great intentions of biking in, but since I still haven't done the route yet, I probably should shut my big mouth! )
class 2011 WOOT!
now on to learn about facebook...
I'm getting an apartment in germantown starting 5/20 and thinking about my move from Houston TX.
I tried contacting JPPSO (as instructed by orientation booklet)...found out that you can't do much w/o orders. Emailed Michelle Anderson-Thomas, and she said orders should be out within a week or so.
I'll keep posting my progress with JPPSO, hopefully I'll be the only one to make mistakes.

I just got the call... there will be no more hating the waiting! Go Army... (roommates wanted)
Dr. McArmy maybe???
Hey I just found out I was moved from the alternate list to a full acceptance with the Air Force....what a jump!
Thanks to everyone for participating in this forum. I have been monitoring it while I was on the alternate list and found out yesterday I have been given a place on the waiting list.
Has anyone received a medical waiver or know anyone who has? I am interested in knowing how 'easily' they are given and for what kinds of reasons. I was denied my medical clearance for having a brain tumor 2 years ago that was removed, benign, and has had no long term effects. In spite of rebuttals from my physicians and all medical records, seems DoDMERB couldn't get their heads around my case.
I would love to join all of you next year, I can't wait to get back to the DC area.
3. I am thinking, if I do decide to stay here, that I'll go with public transport. I read in an earlier post that USUHS provides metro passes to students. Can anybody confirm this? Also, there is a private bus company that runs from naptown to New Carrolton. Any chance of getting this transport covered? That would seriously rock.
Go Navy!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else was attending MOST instead of regular basic training? (Sorry AF peeps but baby is still to young to be without Mom for a whole month)
Folks,
I am a member of the class of 2011. Currently I live in Annapolis and rent a place downtown. The rent is pretty good. I am about to re-sign a lease for $1025/month on a 3 BR/1 BA. I've lived here for 4 years already. Street is Munroe Ct. Right around the corner from Loews hotel.
I have 2 questions:
1. Anybody interested in renting the 2nd bedroom and splitting rent? Trust me, this living situation pretty much rocks if you like Annapolis.
2. Commuting to Bethesda from Annapolis seems pretty hefty to me. I am not a fan of the commuting lifestyle. On the other hand, my current boss has been commuting from Rockville to Annapolis for 20 years. Is there anybody reading this forum who can comment on doing a significant commute while a student at USUHS?

I have never done the Annapolis-Bethesda commute, but I did have a very long commute my freshman year of college - from Twinbrook metro station to Georgetown in DC. I used public transportation, bus-metro-bus, and it took about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was total hell, and I strongly advise you to look for an apartment in Montgomery County. ...I am renting a 1 br for 1025/month right up the street from USUHS. I know it's much higher than what you're paying now, but it will be well worth it in terms of your sanity, study time, and access to campus.
This might seem like an unusual question: does anyone known anything about whether women are allowed to wear men's style pants as part of the uniform? I got two conflicting answers from the uniform shop here.
Thanks!
