How long will I have to commit?

I've read so many websites and talked to so many people my head hurts! :lol2: I asked the healthcare recruiter so many questions I've forgotten some of the info

1. So, if I join the Army or Navy on active duty and have NO prior military service it's a THREE YEAR commitment, right? How long is Navy/ Army reserve commitment for folks with no prior military service?

Say I graduate with an ADN, join the reserves and immediately upon graduation enroll in a BSN program. If it takes me 6-9 months to get my BSN then I "move" into active duty, will they subtract my reserve time from my active duty commitment?

2. I'm 30ish and don't wanna be the oldest ensign or 1LT in the ARMY/ NAVY! :lol2: Can I use my prior degrees, age and 'experience' to negotiate a rank similar to other officers in the service my age?

Thanks Navygirl!

Your Navy info goes nicely with Corvette Guy's Army 411!

If this one it to nosey tell me, but how much do new military nurses make a year?

Corvette Guy and Navygirl- What duty station did you pick?

Navygirl- Is Norfolk. VA beach and option? Do you do shipboard deployments, like on a carrier?

Both- What advantage does your branch of serivce have over the others?

I'm all but convinced, I just don't know what branch of service....

Madigan Army Medical Center, FT Lewis, Tacoma, WA... 3 yr committment.
