Thou I am still in school what attracted me to nursing was the time i spent in the navy. I was apart of a Non Compliant Boarding team where we would board hostile vessels and search for weapons, drugs, terrorist and human traffickers. While in school we had to take a separate combat first aid course were we learned how to treat sucking chest wounds, amputees, treat for shock, insert J tubes, etc... It really fueled my fire to learn to help save a comrade and I was just generally turned on about the whole medical field at that point.

Good evening all I just got out of the military a year ago and currently a sophomore for my BSN. I have just been approached by both Air force and Army ROTC instructors and both are offering a full scholarship. Currently my GI Bill is covering everything but I've kind of been interested in becoming an officer since I joined straight out of high school and as insane as it sounds I kind of miss active duty (Thou my wife doesn't). I know about the Army's FAST units and Air forces flight nurses. I pretty much know everything that I could find out from brochures and word of mouth. I was wondering if anyone here has any insider knowledge that could help with my choice. (One of my big questions is) I know I won't be considered a combatant but is their any way I could try out for special operations as a nurse? Thanks for your time and I appreciate any feedback. :tku: v/r Bene :thnkg: "Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered, and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds." -Charles Lindbergh.
