Help! Air Force, Army, and CRNA career pathways????
If I may add to the ongoing:
Doesn't matter if you have 20+ years of ICU experience. In order to obtain the 8A y0u will need to attend and pass the Army CCNC (critical care nurse course) that is being offered at MAMC and at BAMC.

Not the case unless they have changed the regulations recently. I went on active duty in 2003. I got an 8A skills checklist from my recruiter and had it filled out by my employer. At the time I only had a little over 2 years of critical care experience. with that check list, my orders for TDY/OBC had my MOS and AOC listed as 66H8A. I did not attend the Army's ICU course.

You are correct, I should have been more specific, this is for the active side of the house (and yes, things were changed a wee bit since 2003. I had, when I was in the Reserves an ASI that was 8A, but I was sent to MAMC when I went active to take the "official Army" CCNC)
