Navy or Air Force?

"Above All" it is a matter of personal preference! :)

I think that in 'many' situations being a nurse within ANY service is much closer then being a nurse in the Army compared to other Army jobs.. and same with Navy and AF... my 2 cents :) We have much more in common then not.. and all branches have significant benefits and enables you to serve airmen, soldiers, marines and sailors!

Thanks everyone.... So once you join, is there some type of training camp you have to go through? Is it like boot camp?

Each branch has a school that will basically orient you to the military.. how to wear your uniform.. custom and courtesies, etc. The training will be physical at times but is not in your face as basic training... the schools are all meant to graduate all nurses (and other health care professionals) and not meant to weed anyone out - provided you can accomplish basic tasks.. they need you. Continue reading through these forums and you will see first hand experiences of these. I'd create a chart with some basic questions, create a basic timeline for the service you are interested in.. and then create a lists of tasks required to get you in that branch. You can post that info here and I'm sure others will be happy to provide some feedback.

You need to explore the pros & cons of each service and find the one that fits good for you. After you choose plan it taking some time before you get an answer 6-8 months after you start the process. Good luck on what ever service you choose. Also look at the Army & USPHS because you do not want to look back in a couple of years and say I should have talked to them too. I didn't do that many years ago when I enlisted in the Navy, if I would have checked out the other services I would have seen that they had a job that I would have rather had then the one in the Navy.

Airforce is 4-5 weeks training Commissioned Officer Training Maxwell AFB, Alabama http://www.au.af.mil/au/holmcenter/OTS/COT-RCOT/index.asp

Navy is 5 weeks training Officer Development Training (ODS) Newport, Rhode Island https://www.netc.navy.mil/nstc/otcn/Schoolhouses/ODS/ODS_FAQ.htm

Both are trainings for medical and other officers that have been commissioned.

You need to apply to become an commission officer. Having a bachelor's degree does not make you automaticaly a officer. If the bachelor degree is in a area of concentration that any of the services can not use they will not give you a commission. I have served with some people when I was in the Navy who had thier bachelor degree before they joined and served in the enlisted ranks.
