Terrific! Thank you for the info! Once I finish my degree, should I hold out for a pilot slot or do you think I should go in as an AF flight nurse and apply from within? If I did the flight nurse thing, I was considering using the pre-commission program while I'm still in school....Don't know if that would help me or ultimately hurt me?
