Thank you both for the quick replies and word of advice! It is difficult with recruiters because many times my questions go beyond what they know and can answer. I do like to control my destiny and I've heard some horror stories on people not getting what they wanted. I understand, the duties come first and it may not be to our exact liking but I am one that likes to control my future and aspirations. Since I was a little girl I have wanted to serve our country in the military and fully expect to fo that at some point. I just want to make sure I can achieve what I have set out to achieve and not wait until I'm 40 to complete my passion. The advice of getting my BSN, getting on at a local ICU to gain my experience, apply and be accepted to a civilian CRNA school and then applying to USAF sounds to be the best bet to get where I want to be the quickest while also serving my country. I am all ears on any more advice people have! I greatly appreciate your responses! ❤️

Wtbcrna, I have a few follow up questions when you get a moment. My DM's aren't working otherwise I'd of gone that route. I am currently contemplating joining the Air Force straight out of high school to eventually gain my BSN with the aspirations of achieving CRNA like yourself. I also have aspirations to play a collegiate sport that the Air Force does not have ?. Option two was to attend a 4 year university where I can play collegiately at the D1 level, join the AFROTC and try and get a scholarship to help pay for my BSN. If I go to a university and complete my BSN would you go directly to the Air Force? Would you pursue a MSN? Would you pursue a CRNA prior to joining? I want to serve my country and also not finish school with $100,000+ of debt but want to give myself the best opportunity to succeed with my goals in mind of becoming a CRNA. Other option is to join the Army as they have the sport I play but I enjoyed the Air Force route better when doing my research. If you were in my shoes with your experience that you have today what would you tell your soon to be graduate to pursue? Thank you so much!
