Conversation Between wtbcrna and SPUDRN

Hi there,I've read a lot of your airforce/CRNA posts and I really appreciate everything that you've said. It's really helping guide this journey in nursing of mine. I had a couple of direct questions for you that I felt would probably be more directly answered if i just sent you a message. So, hopefully you don't mind.So, from what I've read and heard from different medical recruiters, the airforce and army both sound like great choices, but I'm having trouble deciding if being an officer and active duty is really for me.A little about me:1.5 year ICU exeperience, RN-BSN, CCRN, ACLS, PALS24 years old, single, no kidsAspiring CRNA2.95 GPA, 3.2 (nursing) and studying for the GREGoals: 1) get experience in flight/aeromedical transport, forward surgical teams, or any other unique experiences not found in the civilian sector. 2)utilize loan repayment and opportunities for CRNA school3)live internationallyThat being said, my GPA doesn't make me super competitive for many schools here in the US, but if I don't go military I'll likely apply to many within the next year. So, my questions:1) With my experience, I know I can probably work with an ICU identifier from the start, but is it possible to work internationally? (I really don't want to be stuck stateside for 2 years).2) What are some of the cool/unique critical care nursing experiences that are available in the air force?3)What kind of lifestyle do you live when deployed?4)3-5 years appears to be the average time people wait until they can get into the uniformed serivces university for CRNA school. Does having it specified in your commission contract expedite the process? If scored well on the GRE, do you think I would still have a shot?I would appreciate any response Thanks.
