Mid-career choices
Hello everyone. 4 years active duty and 5.5 years national guard. I submitted a packet and will find out next month whether or not I was accepted to the school I submitted for.
I've been having this thought that at the middle of my army career I do not want to do the other 10 enlisted. I maybe would have if the only unit I really enjoyed being a part of wasn't just killed off by the state and everyone was told to find new homes.
Just picked up SSG (no ALC). I have my degree. Was accepted to an MSN program civilian side. I know a guy who at 20 years and a SSG went through flight school and is now projected to do 30 years before he can retire but he went out and got it. I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else was or has gone through this?
My options are:
Get accepted to IPAP. Commission through the school. Complete 20 years and retire.
Don't get accepted to IPAP. Still have my civilian MSN acceptance. Finish that program. ETS in 2029 right after I complete my degree. Come back to active duty but through the Air Force as a nurse.
OCS is an option I can pursue as well.
