Hello all, I'm 22yrs of age and going to school right now for my RN. I'm taking my pre-reqs and in the beginning of my educational path for my BSN. I still have a lot to go. Well over this past year the navy has been a interest to me for some reason. I have always been very , very, interesting in world travel. I absoulutely love geography and the idea of world travel. The only downfall is I don't know how to swim,lol. Also I have had a big interest in working out and seeing the world and being in a diverse community. Every since I was a child I have lived in different places of the US......from New Orleans, LA,Nebraska,and now Memphis,TN. My main question is could I become a RN through the naval as a male? Is it common for males to become RN's through the navy? Also I thought it would be great to join the navy for the great benifits and 30 days vacation time/yr. Along with it will give me some type of security and ability to grow instead of being a college student working at a Fast Food joint. Would any of you advise the navy?
