NAVY
I'm thinking about joining the Navy and persuing my degrees in healthcare. Any Navy here with any thoughts or insight?

Re: NAVY
Well, I think you'd do better outside of the Navy unless you're desperate for the freebie of it (if years of your life are cheap to you) It is fullfilling. You'll rack up experience quickly. I do have a buddy who's brother became a brain surgeon in the Navy. A hospital bought out his contract, that's how valuable he is now. (he makes $5k a callout, a helo picks him up in his freakin' front yard)
If you end up haze gray and under way and don't like it, you'll feel like a prisoner. But again, you'll get to see and do things that few others do. It's a trade off. The free, fun filled life stateside when you're young has some amount of value.
In the military, you're always, and I mean ALWAYS subjected. I mean that in the worst way. There will be times when you want to get away and you can't, when you want to clobber the pious self righteous loser in charge of you and can't. You can't leave. You can't quit. You can't hit 'em. Just know what you're getting into. It's servitude and you're committed. You can't change your mind like a civilian can.
I have great memories, but boy howdy, there was a price to pay of dire hardships, long long long hours, crappy pay, idiots extraordinaire etc. etc.
Remember the good, toss the bad. I think college would've been a hell of a lot more fun!

Re: NAVY
Shop around. Air Force & Army have great medical programs as well. See what fits your need best

Re: NAVY
They're all good!
One thing, just leave the nursing field to women. Nothing worse than waking up in a hospital to find some dude wanting to change your bedpan or give you a sponge bath! You know what I mean....
And if anyone wants a second opinion on a prostate exam...never ever...smile and snap a glove on the opposing hand and say "ok, bend over!"

Yes there is. Go to Disneyworld during spring break. I'd take an involuntary sponge bath anyday.
