AF Reserve Flight Nursing

[JerseyGirl1213]

I'm in the application process for USAFR flight nursing. I am prior service active duty AF and my spouse just retired from AD as a flyer, so I'm not new to the military, however, am for reserve nursing. Anyone have any insight on this field? I have spoken to some and know things change. As of current, I was told that they now require ALL flyers, reserve/guard/active, to complete the full SERE now instead of non-capture/water survival. COT 5.5 wks, 30 days Flight School at Wright-Patt, 19 days I believe of SERE, and I forget what else. Anyone been to non-combat survival school? My hub went YEARS ago. Experiences?

USAA used to offer a low-interest $25,000 loan (I think it was like 2.5% or 2.9% interest) for people who are commissioning for the first time, but I am not sure if that is still offered or only applies to active duty; you have to call and ask about it. Some of my classmates at officer basic were just out of college and used it to buy cars. As a military brat, military nurse, and now veteran, I use USAA for darn near everything, from checking to savings to car insurance to auto loans to homeowners insurance to landlord insurance and renters insurance and everything in between. Over the years I have found that their services and rates just cannot be beat.
