Default Re: Navy Nursing?
My AF recruiter has been outstanding. He has been enthusiastic, honest and up-front about everything. He's never even asked me to commit. He basically outlined all parts of the opportunity and asked if I was interested and if I was we could get started.

I was considering Navy and AF and have ended up concentrating mostly on the Air Force for something that's probably pretty small: COT is in Montgomery, AL which is 2 hours from where I live and Navy Officer Training is in Rhode Island. I know the arguments that well, you're going to end up at a far away duty station eventually anyway but I'm totally new to the military way of life, and my rationale is starting out closer to home will probably ease the transition. I'm 37 years old, so the travel is not what's at the top of my priority list.

The Navy recruiter I talked to didn't really seem interested in the whole situation, so I kind of let it go. The Air Force has just felt more right for me so far. It has been basically just a gut feeling.

Good Luck!

Thanks BartC_RN for sharing your experiences. I wonder if the military realizes how much of a difference their recruiters attitudes make in which service nurses choose?
