Air Force Nurse Corps Information
Air Force Nurse Corps Information?
I'm considering entering the Air Force Nurse Corps and I want to hear people's perspectives on it, pros and cons. I just graduated with a BSN and I'm planning to get married next September, so I think if I do decide to go through with it that I'll wait till after then. Miliary isn't something that I've really considered before, but I've started to look at it and it seems like a pretty good option. I have a ton a questions. And what are deployments like? How often are nurses deployed and long do they typically go for? I heard up to a year or longer is possible. Would you get to come home and visit family anytime if you had to be deployed for an entire year? What kind of training do nurses do? I know they go in as officers, so no boot camp, but what kind of training do nurses get? What kind of pay do nurses receive? Is it competitve with civilian nursing jobs? I have about $20,000 in student loans that I need to pay back. I heard the military will help pay back loans, but how exactly does that work? And I want to go to grad school eventually, will they help with that? And I hear they give you money for housing, or you can live on base. Can you live on base for free? Can you have pets? Do you get to pick where you're stationed? I've heard that you make a wish list and they try to honor it. Say I get stationed somewhere I don't like, can you request to transfer somewhere else after a certain amount of time? I'm really interested in traveling and would love to work in other countries, but I wouldn't want to stay in the same place for the full 4 years. I read on the Air Force website that during your 30 days vacation "you can take advantage of available space on Air Force aircraft. You can fly to exotic destinations, including Italy, Australia, England, Germany, Japan and almost any state in the U.S." Does that mean you can fly for free if there's available space? I know that's a ton of questions! I'm just trying to figure out all the benefits. And I'd like to hear people's perspectives on the negative aspects of the military also.

im the army and military is still just about the same, deployments can be from 9to 15 months, you will have RnR to go back home for 2-4 weeks during your deployment. youll still have to go to boot camp. then ait if im not mistaken. you will recieve your rank pay, you wont get raises like in a regular job. army will pay your student loans just graduate your boot camp ait and get to your unit. you dont get to pick where you wanna be. and its pretty tough moving to a different station, its like people who have to go to korea and dont wanna be thier, they gotta stick with it no matter what. trust me if you love freedome dont join.

Military,Overseas and confused for school
Military,Overseas and confused for school.?
Well long story short...I love my husband with my life we have been married a year and dating 6 years.. We are stationed in Germany, I was accepted into a nursing school for 12months (it lines up perfect with his deployment, so we arent apart by choice...However In order for me to go home and EROD i have to leave him in March an he doesnt deploy till June BUT he will be home in MAY where i will be in TENNESSEE for Block Leave...Everyone is telling me im selfish, he could die..and i know he could but he is going to a pretty safe area that has calmed down in Iraq (no excuse) but Im doing this degree for us , so he can go to college when his time is up and we do not financially strugle...How does that make me selfish?? I feel like im doing the right thing and so does he..I feel horrible for him having to be here 7 weeks alone but this is our future and i cant go to this school again untill Sept 09 (that means i will be away from him for 2 months after his deployment and he goes to another duty station..Am i doing the right thing?? Thanks.. We are young lol 20..High School Sweethearts all the way to middle school..Which is why i think its sooo important to get my degree right now while i have a chance to not be away from him so long. However Trust me two months is nothin to whoever left that comment..We have already spent a year apart before we got married and of course here and there tdys (for weeks to months) just needed second oppions that I wasnt do the wrong thing and i feel really good about what im doing and know we will be fine..I just didnt feel like i was being selfish at all because the degree is for both of us :) Thanks all who left oppions! I really Appreciate

You are doing the right thing. I told every one of my guys when I was in to PLAN FOR SEPARATION the moment you enlist. If you do that you can't go wrong. If you decided to re-up then you're sitting with a bachelor's degree and can choose an officer program possibly. So, you should do the same thing. Plan ahead for the separation. If you can go ahead and get a degree then it would be good for both of you.
2 :
yes you are doing the right thing. YOU need to do what is best for YOUR career too.
3 :
You must be young and in love if you are having this much heartbreak over less than two month's separation. Separation is a normal part of military life. Ignore the "everyone" calling you selfish - their comments say more about their issues than yours.
4 :
These people who think war means they will die, I knew of three soldiers who came home and died so just because they go to war does nto mean they will go over there and die, my husband almiost died two times, but God was with him, I mean miracles do happen over there, you just don;t hear about them and yes soldiers die, but the three I knew came home after deployment, and two died in a car wreck and one was gang related.

This decision is between the two of you and no one else. It sounds like you have thought this through very carefully and you are doing the best thing for your future together. Unfortunately, you are probably going to feel small regrets whichever choice you make. That doesn't mean that it was a wrong decision, just that some decisions are hard. I agree that it seems like other people are projecting their own issues on you. Good luck - you sound like a smart girl!
