just_cause, thank you or the info. At this point, I am only interested in the reserves. Deep down, I have always wanted to do military (out of high school) but was discouraged by family. Now that I am a littl older and with a family of my own I am trying to realize my dream. I think the military is a great way to complete some humanitarian work around the world, one of my dreams. Thanks!

I am in the process of completing the Army Reserve paperwork with a recruiter. Although my recruiter has been excellant, I know that their job is to get me into the Army. I have a few questions if anyone could answer.. 1) I have an ADN, finishing BSN in Aug. W/o any prior military, would it be any benefit for me to wait until completing my BSN? 2) Also considering Navy nurse corps reserve. Any insight on which one would be better or is is just personal preference? 3) If deployed, what are the usual deployment lenghts? I would appeciate any experience comments from reservists in the ICU specialty, positive or negative. I want to know what i am getting into, for my families sake. Thanks! Chalon
