has anyone enlisted 68WM6 or 68W (army) or 4N0X1 (airforce)

Published

I would like feedback from people in the last few years, close to 2017 (as so much has changed in the military/economy), of those that have joined the military to do these jobs 68WM6 or 68W (army) or 4N0X1 (airforce)?

I came across the military forum on goarmy.com , that stated in order to join as an LPN (that specific job) the person would need to have 24 months of experience.

I'm non-traditional with several degrees (close to maxing out), looking for a career change. I personally don't want to take out anymore loans.

I read on Allnurses not to do reserves then try to attend LPN school, you can get orders anytime, and for the scholarship program for BSN is extremely competitive.

I came across this article that showed for 2017 the airforce are reaching out to current enlisted and commissioned officers to go to nursing school.

Air Force seeks enlisted airmen for nursing programs

I always wanted to serve, getting close to max out on the age limits to serve. Time is of the essence.

is it possible to have your LPN license, then enlist, and moonlight?

Thought please? thanks for your time

68WM6 is no longer being awarded. It is now 68C. If your goal is to become a LVN, then enlist as a 68C. It is an entry level MOS, and you do not need credentials prior to enlisting.
