I'm more interesting in the ER, ICU or med surg wouldn't be bad either. I'm not really interested in the maternity department(I'll do whatevers given to me though). How do you make it known your interests?

I'm considering applying for the Nurse Candidate program in either the Army or Navy. My first choice is Navy but I'm still deciding. I have been told that most of the time(in the Navy at least) you will spend the first year or two in a hospital in the US befroe deploying. I just want to know typically how many years until you deploy? And will I every deploy? Deploying is one of the reasons I want to join the Nurse Corps. Does deployment depend on what department you work in the hospital(ICU vs maternity)? Or do they send you by groups? Am I more likely to deploy in Army or Navy? As a new nurse fresh in the military what department am I likely to start in?
