Become an NP while an officer?

[WorkofHeart8]

Hello,

My husband is currently in LPN school with the long term goal of becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. He also wants to join either the Navy or Air Force after he gets his BSN but we are wondering if it's possible to go to NP school while he's an Officer (as far as having enough time) and if the Navy or AF will pay his tuition for his Master's.

Thank you!

Yes, I have known several officers that got their Master's/NP on AD. All military branches have tuition reimbursement programs, Montgomery GI bill, and scholarship programs to in order to goto school full time while on Active duty.
