Looking for Information: Navy and/vs AF

Specialties Government

Published

I'm looking for information with the Navy and/versus the Airforce. I'm in the process of gathering information to decide if it would work for me to enlist for one or the other while I am still in nursing school. Plus I like the idea of serving my country and traveling a bit before settling down. Here is my situation: I'm currently an ADN Nursing Student with about a year and a half left till my degree in Nursing. I'm one upper general education class away from a Bachelor's in Nutrition/Dietetics (on hold for the nursing school) and I already have an Associate's in General Education. And I'm still planning on going back for my BSN and/or MSN. I have some general/specific questions that if anyone can help answer it would be greatly appreciated. Plus any information/personal experience of nursing with either the AF or the Navy would definitely be great to read too, since I haven't decided which one I would like to go into.

1. Can either branch help me pay for my educational and living expenses right now?

2. Can deployment be delayed for more than a year if I sign up for active duty (only because of school)?

3. Do I have to get my Bachelor's in Nursing before I can sign up?

3. Can I sign up as an officer without my Bachelor's yet, but over 150 units of college credits?

4. Do you have any other information that would be useful in knowing as I research the options?

Thank you for your response.
