There is always the Reserves...the old...."If you can't beat 'em--Join 'em!"
There are a lot of nursing students involved in Reserve Medical Units, it can give you some more options if you are planning to follow him around.
It could also give you some perspective of what your boyfriend is going through.
It really helps me knowing the system...and knowing what he is talking about when he talks about this new thing that is his "Whole World" now.
I am purposely staying in the Reserves for now, so that when we get posted I can decide if I want to be a SAHM, work civie side, work on the base, or for an off-base Reserve unit.
Joining this forum is the other way to learn about the military for sure!
If the Reserves are for you: Join as a non-commissioned member (Pte, Cpl etc)...get your nursing degree...go officer and then outrank your boyfriend!! Then he would have to salute you!!
hee hee.
I have the opposite problem, my DH is now an officer and I am not
(I know this is probably jumping the gun on this, but in case someone might tell you to join as an officer first...IMHO, if it is nursing things you like doing, join as an NCM while you are in school to get the hands-on stuff).
By joining the Reserves, you have more freedom for moving around with your BF and if anything change b/w you and your BF, it is less of a permanent commitment.
But, the Regular force might be good if you are serious and looking for some subsidization while in school:
