Okay I know this is going to be long so bear with me.

I have 3 more semesters of pre-reqs. During my first semester I received a 4.0 (it would have been higher if my school counted grades above 100% because I got 105% and %115 in two classes). I'm cramming in all my sciences at a community college near home before transferring to get my BSN.

this summer I had the oppurtunity to go to Germany (currently tapping this out in Kaiserslaughtern) and totally fell in LOVE. if it was an option to stay here I think I would. But being so near Ramstein, it got me thinking about maybe joining ROTC when I transfer for my BSN. I'm really curious about how all this works. Should I pick a branch and only apply for one or apply to each branch ROTC at each school? It seems like a great oppurtunity for free school and garunteed job after graduation with the oppurtunity to travel.

Also, with the commitment only being for a few years after school it would be great to not have to deal withstudent loans inexchange for searving my country.

My grandpa was in the Navy so I think I would have a lean towards Navy. But I'm not really picky. I would really appreciate any stories or advice you all could share. Any help would do.

Also is it easier to get a job after you end your service...I don't think id want to have a career in the military...I really see myself more as a Peds Onc nurse. But I would be open to the option if it made sense with what was going on in life
