  5. Crazy for wanting to go enlisted route?!?!?!

    UCAFblue replied to yuma_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Hi yuma_nurse, First of all, no I don't think you are crazy for wanting to go enlisted. I wanted to do the same (with the Air Force Reserve though) because I wanted the experience of being enlisted...

  8. Air Force Reserve While in Nursing School

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government, Military

    UCAFblue replied to Dre2416's topic in Government, Military

  14. Go into the Reserves now or wait....??

    UCAFblue replied to Dre2416's topic in Government, Military

    They weren't telling me I couldn't join the reserve, it's just I would have had to go to basic training at the exact same time that our first semester of nursing school started (June). So I tried to...

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government, Military
