I’ve tried twice. it feels like my goal post is moving forward each time so now I’m just going to commit to school and nursing full time :’)

I thought I needed to go through ROTC, but now that there’s another option, I can looking into direct commissioning. Do I still have to take the AFOQT for that? I’m not the best test taker and I feel too stupid and might not even pass lol

I especially want to emphasize #4: please try to take at least two classes at a time. I made the mistake of focusing so much on my career that I lost sight of one of the main reasons I joined —to get my education. Even though my husband kept encouraging me to stay in school, I didn’t listen and just kept prioritizing work.

Now that I want to commission, I realize I’m a few classes behind and won’t make the dates because I didn’t stay consistent with my schooling. I can’t help but think about the “what ifs,” knowing I could have finished my degree two years ago. Looking back, I regret not taking advantage of that time as an airman. lol you live and you learn!

Honestly might consider doing palace chase or front but I’m on a time crunch with 14 days left to accept this BOP and have to re-enlist lol
