Hi Everyone,
I hope you do not mind my asking. I am interested in the military and only just became eligible. I am looking at all the branches and the airforce is on the top of my list. My question is: Does the AF have a CRNA school and can I apply as a civilian? I know I could come in as an active duty nurse first but it takes longer. I am also aware of the army CRNA program but I was wondering if the AF has something similar. Thanks for your help. I admire you all.

You can't apply to the AirForce's CRNA school as a civilian. You have to enter the Airforce and then apply when you meet the requirements. Basically you have to have 2yrs in the Airforce, 1 yr time on station and meet all the other requirements that most CRNA schools have. The Army is the only branch that I know of that you can go directly to CRNA after entering the Army.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the info! Helps a whole lot.
