This probably belongs in the idiots thread, but I'll go ahead and ask anyway. How dumb would it be to try and commission as a flight nurse in the Air Guard? Getting the gently caress out of the Army relatively soon and going back to school for my BSN, but I've been looking at ANG as a way to make a couple extra grand a year plus a neat little pension at the end of the rainbow. One of the only reasons I'm even considering it is because it looks like there are slots with the 166th Airlift out of New Castle, Delaware which is maybe an hour and a half away from Baltimore. That and from what I've read the promotion rates are loving hilarious, so again with the pension thing. Pretty much everything else would be icing on the cake as far as flight certification and experience goes. That's assuming I can get selected, and whatever my particular flavor of colorblindness is doesn't gently caress me out of it from the get-go.

Dead Reckoning posted:What in particular are you worried about? Flight Med skews older and more mature, especially in the Guard. It can be hard to get in, but the crews tend to be pretty tight-knit. You will have to deploy and be on the road a lot, and will probably end up pulling AMCT duty in an AOC at some point. I'm just worried about the usual stuff, like why in the name of gently caress would I want to go back in under any capacity. Then I think about how it's the Air Force instead of the Army, O vs E, it's the Guard, it'll be a flight job, AND as a cherry on top it's medical. Just trying to walk other people with different perspectives through my logic and see if there are any horrifically big holes I can't see.

iyaayas01 posted:If deployment duration/frequency is a concern I'd try and ping some people in the unit to figure out what their tempo is like, since it could vary from an AD unit compared to the Guard. So long as it doesn't completely overwhelm the rest of my life, I've got no problem with it necessarily being more than the one weekend and one week bullshit you hear people parrot. Granted this whole thing is a thought exercise for the next couple years until I'm probably a senior, doesn't seem like much of a point in reaching out to healthcare recruiters or units until I'm actually on the final lap.

Grab a couple friends, don't dress like a mil douchebag, go right before you absolutely HAVE to get a haircut. Learn which clubs and bars aren't insanely overpriced, go bang some barely legal dependents and English teachers.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:it's at least a 80% chance Probably wildly underestimating, honestly. From a handful of words of a second-hand account of symptoms, I'm going to go with "muscle spasms" and "toradol" for Medic Bingo. Could be nothing, could be something. I know from firsthand account that the only thing more helplessly terrifying than a sudden and debilitating lumbar spasm is an actual honest-to-ghost disc herniation, but that's the kind of poo poo you know exactly what it is when it happens and a trigger point injection with toradol won't do ssshhiiiiit for you. EDIT: For what it's worth, muscle spasms are the reason I've got a little stockpile of muscle relaxants squirreled away. Do some dumb poo poo and feel like you got stabbed in the back then go home, pop a couple and pass out, wake up the next day with even odds that you feel right as rain or at least significantly better even if it's a bad one.

How hard is it to smack a rabbit in the head with a rock? Or hell palm its head, grab its ribcage, twist. The really funny part is when someone hasn't seen the rabbit kettlebell swing, or the knifeless push-and-squeeze method.
