Thank you lucky1RN for the insightful message! I didn't realize how extensivethe air force would be and how much it would effect my son's life! I will do more research and let you know what happens. Thank you!!

Hi! I am a 31 year old single parent of a 5 year old son. I have been looking into joining the air force but concerned about child care and raising a child so young on my own while in the military. I will be seeing a recruiter, but would like some feedback about being a single parent in the military would be like. I currently have a BSN and has 6 years of ICU experience and would like to attend a CRNA program in the air force. 1. Are there many resources for single parents? 2. How would work schedules be like? Night shift or days? 3. Do you work over 40 hrs a week in the hospital setting? 4. Child Care? 5. Education and activities for children? Any single parents out there in the military? How do you do it? Balancing family and military duties. Any feedback or suggestiobs would be informative. Thank You! Am I making a good decision by entering into the military with a young child?
