Can some please help me?

I've been in the military for about 12 years enlistment supply troop. I've been deployed 3 times. My last deployment, i did some volunteer work with the balad hosptial. I loved every moment of it:redbeathe. I would work 12 hrs doing my work and be at the hosptial for additional 4 hours, every day. I was able to work with some good nurses and doctors :yeah:. I knew with out a doubt that i wanted to be a nurse. i've been on a mission every since.

The problem is, i don't have a good network any more to get into the NECEP program :o. I'm doing well with school pre nursing. but, i found out that i'm deploying again this fall. This will push me back a year. I really hope i get Balad so, i can do some more volunteer. I really want to be a nurse. I don't care about bonuses or getting commission. I just want to be a nurse, not just a nurse but, a Nurse in Air Force. Military Science is awesome because there is no limit ( insurance problems).

PLEASE ADVICES

That sucks.

You almost have no choice with 12 years invested, you have to hang in there. Keep turning over as many rocks as you can to find out all your options. I know things change and I am not familiar with Necep. I know there used to be 2 programs for school. One was strictly for those trying to be nurses and the other was a "boot strap" where you are relieved of active duty to go to school full time with your active duty pay BUT you owe them more time when you are done with your degree. Have you talked with everyone at the education dept.?? Meanwhile bring a computer with you on your deployment and maybe you will get lucky and be able to take some online classes.
