Missionary Nursing and AFROTC?

[rencasi]

hello, i'm currently a senior in high school and i'm planning to major in nursing. my dream is to be a missionary nurse, but considering my family's financial status, i won't be able to afford the education needed to become a nurse.

i was thinking of joining the air force rotc, but not just for the possible free education, but because i know that it's going to benefit me so much in leadership and social skills. not to mention all the physical and emotional growth, as well as the honor to serve our country.

the problem is that i'll be the first individual in my family that will be going to college in the united states. i'm not 100% clear with how the system works--even after reading the afrotc website.

so, i was wondering...

is it possible to pursue both paths?

if i'm pursuing to become a missionary nurse, how will being in the afrotc affect it?

if both paths are not possible, what would be the better path to take?

after graduating, what type of work will i be doing as part of the rotc rather than doing missionary work?

please note that i'll try my best to receive scholarships, but i'm really hoping not to fall into dept after college. considering my high school grades, i know i probably don't have a large chance at receiving scholarships. i know grades are important, but my passion to pursue this career is far greater than what my grades show (i've had trouble in the past).

much help is needed. please be as detailed as possible. i really do appreciate every answer. thank you so much!
