I have a question if anyone has an answer :) I'm planning on the Nurse Reserve Corps via DA and I am still deciding Navy vs Army. I'm meeting with recruiters etc and want to explore all of my options.

Does anyone know at what point I MUST make a decision? How far along into all of the processes can I go? The recruiters are aware I am considering both.

Here are some posts previously.

I know I was considering all three. I wrote out a sheet of paper put three lines down them. I put each branch at the top and then down the left hand side listed things that were important to me. Since I was looking at active mine was proably a little different. I put things like training length, ht/wt requirements, OCONUS/CONUS locations, deployment areas, bonus, student loan repayment. After meeting with all the recruiters, doing research on pc and just plain talking to folks. I narrowed it down to who could provide the most things I was looking for. Like many people say the military has a plan for you and you gotta have your plan for them. Most thing are the same with each branch.
