50 year old New Family Nurse Practitioner

Specialties Government

Published

I'm looking for some current information. I have contacted a local Air National Guard recruiter for information but have not heard back. I would like to do something to serve my country. I will be retiring for the fire department around the time I graduate from FNP school. Is it possible to join the service or do some thing like the reserves at 50 years old?

Would you be willing to send me the recruiters contact information? I would like to at least talk to some who is knowledgeable on the subject.

I wanted to reply, not post new comment.

I would recommend that you go to the AF website and select the 'find a recruiter' link and then select the 'healthcare professional' link. Theses recruiters change assignments and move all the time. Whoever this person's contact is might not know the current rules (which constantly change) and current recruiting climate (which constantly changes). Age limits and waiver availability can change.

Recruiter duty is generally transient gig. You do it for a few years and then you move on. It's not something that people in the AF do for an entire career.
