Hello everyone, I'm an Airforce nurse attempting Blue to Green. Would love to learn the "army life", so I have an idea what i'm getting into to... . I have gone to Ft Dix for training and C4, which have both been army training...but still, I was pretty spoiled. Anyway, kind of nervous, so any info would be great...

Hasan the Mad is a US Army Medic NCO. MSG Glenn knows a thing or two about Blue to Green programme and so does the other US Ladz...

Cissy,

Regretably I don't know anything about officers switching branches of the military. I'm sure the Army can use nurses more than the Air Force due to their combat role. Would the Air Force release you is the big question. Or has your terms of service ended? If you didn't resign your commission & your obligation to the Air Force has been met I don't see a big problem.

Your best bet would be to call an Army Recruiter & ask him what the procedure would be.

Out of the several Army-oriented sites I go on I can't think of a one nurse that I've run into & very few officers in general.

Probably none of us could relate to Army life as a nurse or any non-combat related field. It's a given you'll be cleaner & more rested at your duty station than your average grunt. As far as I can imagine the only difference that you would encounter would be in the uniform you'd be wearing.

Good luck & let us know what you find out.

Why in the hell would you leave the Air Force for the Army? Better think that one through completely, 100%. I wouldn't recommend it, but that's just me.
