Warrior Nurse transfers from the Navy to the Army

Freeper Warrior Nurse had decided to pursue an interservice transfer to the active duty Army after his assignment to the Naval Reserve when he concluded his last active duty assignent on board the USS John F Kennedy. During his time on the JFK he begin to realize that he had reached the apex of his Naval career as an operational nurse. After his tour of duty he was transfered to the Naval Reserves and promoted to his present rank of Lieutenant Commander. When told by his superiors that he was now too senior in rank to return to active duty, he started to pursue a transfer to active duty Army. Not one to watch from the sidelines WN expressed a burning desire to be out in the field with the troops to fight in the war against the Islamoterrorist. He felt with his skills and expertise he could not continue to sit by and watch good men die while waiting for the Navy to recall him to active duty. On Dec 8th WN received offical conformation that his transfer to the Army at the rank of Major was approved. This is indeed a rare feat because this will be the third branch of military service he has served in as a commissioned officer.

Welcome to the Army, sir! To help your transition, here are some images, MP3s and info to keep in mind:

US Army Song

"The Army Goes Rolling Along"

Intro: March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory We’re the Army and proud of our name We’re the Army and proudly proclaim

Verse: First to fight for the right, And to build the Nation’s might, And The Army Goes Rolling Along Proud of all we have done, Fighting till the battle’s won, And the Army Goes Rolling Along.

Refrain: Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey! The Army’s on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!) For where e’er we go, You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

Verse: Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks, San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks, And the Army went rolling along Minute men, from the start, Always fighting from the heart, And the Army keeps rolling along. (refrain)

Verse: Men in rags, men who froze, Still that Army met its foes, And the Army went rolling along. Faith in God, then we’re right, And we’ll fight with all our might, As the Army keeps rolling along. (refrain)


- Proud Army Dad -
