Medical Officers please be apprised that 12/31/09 is not only New Year’s Eve it is also the Readiness due date.

So please give a Holiday present to the Corps and insure that you are ready, and that the Medical Category Readiness stats on 12/31 do not constitute a lump of coal in a stocking.

Agree with it or not, like it or not, Readiness is the marker by which the Corps is measured to define that we are a mobile and deployable uniformed service ready to protect and serve the Nation.

 

Readiness is also a crucial hurdle for many of our officers expecting to be considered for promotion. 

 

The Medical Category Readiness Status as of 3-Dec-2009:   71.35%

 

The Medical Category Readiness Status as of 30-Sep-2009:   88.88%

The Medical Category Readiness Status as of 30-Jun-2009:   87.27%

The Medical Category Readiness Status as of 31-Mar-2009:   87.57%

 

Give attention to the easy items like recording you seasonal flu shot, PPD, and H1N1 if it was available to you!

 

 

To make your life even more challenging, it is vitally important that everyone be made aware of the most recent changes and begins utilizing Direct Access.
