I am 32 years old and have four children. I have a BS in Criminal Justice but would like to go back to school to become a nurse or perhaps a PA and then join the Air Force. I recently read that I can only have 2 dependents including my husband, is this true? I have also had 4 c-sections and was diagnosed with ADHD about 5 years ago which I do not take medication for. Can anyone tell me if these issues will disqualify me from joining the AF after I complete nursing or PA school? I tried to contact the nursing recruiter but he has yet to respond. Any info would be appreciated.

No on the dependent issue, RNs are officers and have different entry requirements than enlisted. For ADHD, get all medical records ready to give to your recruiter. Ensure that you were clinically diagnosed and have records to prove it. Your recruiter will also ask for a current evaluation.
