Military Nursing Question

Specialties Government

Published

Hello everyone

This is my first new post. First off a bit about my history. I served almost 5 years as an Hospital Corpsman with the fleet marines. I loved my time in and my service. I am also very happy about being in the reserve now. But after nursing school and 2 years of experience. I have been thinking of reentering into the military as a Nurse and an Officer. I know all the military nurses I met were all very happy with their profession. I can retire in my 40s, or stay in longer. It really is kind of a sweet deal. I really only left the military so I could get into school faster with less paperwork. So maybe it is time for me to go back in. But I do love living right over the California beach, as I am now. Just thinking to myself, I guess.

Good deal! Navy does have better deal:-) and better uniform:-) Good luck and have a blast this summer!

Good for you, sounds like you are happy with your decision. Did you reenlisted or assess as an officer?

Counts as an reenlistment with Officer grade. Your right nice uniforms. I will look very nice in them.
