My oldest girl is going for her nursing degree. I suggested the Air Force, let them pay for it, and go out and see the world for free.
She declined because going in with her BS degree she starts as an officer.
What’s your opinion?

Absolutely; go for it!

Officers get more pay than enlisted, plus I believe degreed medical personnel get a bonus.

See the world, treat heroes, and give America back a little something.

What’s not to like?

Air Force medical personnel get basic training at Gunter Annex at Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL where I retired. I live about 25 miles away, and retired here. I’ll even look out for her if she goes!

I know several people for whom “go in as an officer” worked out extremely well.

My daughter worked for a large hospital which paid for her nursing degree, in exchange for a five-year commitment to work there. She has recently completed her period of indentured servitude and is now making real money elsewhere.
