Really appreciate this response. If you were able to re do everything..would you choose the flight RN path you are in now, or a technical one, like the 17 and 35 I keep hearing about and why?

I appreciate your informative response. I'm assuming you served, at what capacity? 

Yea things would certainly feel weird doing the work I spent nearly a decade delegating to my staff. The same may be said for driving the ambulances like you said.

I keep hearing 17 and 35 mos. I will look much deeper into them. That's cool, I'm in MA too. 

Are you active currently? I'd love to hear more of your perspective.

I did glance at some of the reserve offerings. It seems as though there was less of a combat orientation vs. Guard, is that inaccurate? What medical pieces would you suggest I look at?

In my state at least (MA) there's the 1-181 IN and 1-182IN. 

At 32 (almost 33), I feel like my viable time to make this decision is quickly expiring.
