For those who wanted information about joining the Army Nurse Corp, this is for you.

Great post BUT the Navy and Air Force Offer the SAME oppertunities, not sure about the age waiver but all else is the same.

My best friend was in my class and did a transfer after 15 years in the Navy and we had the first joint Air Force and Army class at USAGPAN. I have much love ffor Air Force and Navy CRNAs, but their "higher ups" make it so difficult for them to even apply. I know the Air Force pulls directly from there ranks so the direct route being a civilian may be extremely difficult and if I am not mistaken the Navy also pulls directly from their ranks. There are some people from the Navy on this board that also transferred or are transferring and some people (obviously, WTBCRNA) from the Air Force that are trying. My understanding is that in the near future, the USAGPAN website will provide an information packet on how to perform a service transfer.

I don't know why, but we (the Army) can't fill our class slots. I just don't understand it, I have had nothing but positive experiences during the program and being an Army CRNA. I know the deployment potential (more than likely) is the major issue, but the personal benefits far outweigh the personal costs.

The Navy pulls directly from their ranks. The Navy does not have a direct assession program for civilians.

A CV is a curriculum vitae, aka resume.

I've heard the same: that a person who, due to age, is unable to mass enough retirement points to earn retirement benefits by the age of sixty (the mandatory retirement age) must sign a waiver indicating that they are cognizant of the fact.

I may have read it at Military.com, which offers a wealth of information. Also, you may find information on this topic at https://www.hrc.army.mil/indexflash.asp.
