I am active duty in the AF right now and I am applying for the NECP program of the AF this year. However, if that does not work, I want to see how else I can make that happen. Anyone have experience with this? I thought of separating fully next year, finishing my degree, and then starting the process to return. The other option I considered is to go Guard/Reserve while I finish the degree. However, I do not know how/if I could transition to active duty from there.

This is a direct commissioning program for doctors, dentists, nurses, lawyers, and chaplain. It is very competitive, but those that are selected are sent to Maxwell AFB for a 4 week officer indoctrination. This program is separate from the Basic Officer Training (BOT) Program which is for line officers Maj Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 25 May 2020 12:51:16 -0400 2020-05-25T12:51:16-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-does-the-process-work-to-join-the-af-nurse-corps?n=5933533&urlhash=5933533 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I completed my nursing degree during off duty time while enlisted on active duty in New Jersey, not for the faint of heart, but doable if you are committed. I have no regrets. Maj Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 25 May 2020 12:58:35 -0400 2020-05-25T12:58:35-04:00 2020-02-28T14:14:39-05:00
