    Why "no strenuous exercise for 48 hours" before DoD exam?

    This is taken from a memo about our yearly work life insurance urine test. "Exercise is good for you over the long haul, but a strenuous workout can spill protein into the urine, Even if the elevated protein level is temporary and due to exercise, the insurance company won't know that. High...

    NROTC Nurse Corps. Scholarship

    "@mingram: Congrats to your daughter. Was she awarded a scholarship at the first Nurse Corps board? Do you mind sharing her stats? Does she enjoy her battalion?" She was awarded/notified of the scholarship last December, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two years because of what’s...
