joining military reserve

Specialties CRNA

Published

I am seriously considering joining the AF reserve in order to supplement my income while in school, and possibly reimburse some of my tuition fees. Is there anyone out there who has done this that can tell me what their experience has been? You can PM me if you'd like. I want to make the right decision and I am really interested in this, but I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into.

I just ETS from active duty as a captain in the nurse corps and applying for the army strap program. As far as overall benefits, the army program is better (drill pay while in school and more money for loan repayment). 4 month deployments for CRNAs aren't bad either.

this file will be removed from the lads after 4/27/2005 when it

expires.

these photos are not as graphic as some of the stuff that i've seen from the army guys, but sad to see all the same...
