Question and Concern Re: Air Force enlistment

by RNnan

I currently have my ASN, over 40, and entering into the second semester for my BSN. I had previously talked with an Air Force recruiter and he is telling me that I must wait to complete my degree and at that time he would be able to commission me into the Air Force and then I'd attend OTC.
After looking at pages of post no where do I seems to be that easy, my question is, is there such a thing as a Direct Commission?

Yes, there is such a thing as a "direct Commission". For example, I was a direct Commission into the Army Reserve Nurse Corps (after my packet was accepted and I went through MEPS)

So when did you start the process to get your packet together was it before or after your commission?

In order to be commissioned, you have to submit your application packet, go through MEPS, do your interview, and then wait for the board to approve you. That's the simplified version...
