Lieutenant, I love your videos, ma'am! I was enlisted on submarines in the USN, my rank/rate was STS3(SS) and I served from 1999 to 2003 on USS Florida SSBN-728 and USS Asheville SSN-758. Unfortunately we didn't get much opportunity to make videos like this underway, lol. I felt like the military itself was not the best for me, since I am more of a beta male, and in many cases, it felt like a measuring contest, if you know what I mean. Although I did learn that I am useful in emergency situations, especially with the training in fire fighting, damage control, firearms, etc. I worked as a private security guard last year, and my military training helped me to save lives on a few occasions! :) Unfortunately, while I was in, no females were allowed to serve on submarines. I feel that females might have made for a more balanced atmosphere among the crew (there are females on US submarines now but not at that time). Plus submarine duty is stressful and dangerous; I once stayed up for four days doing operations! 24-48 hours was typical. My longest time spent underwater was 87 days (never coming to the surface). But I do miss the adventure of the military...going hundreds of feet underwater, in places where "we were never here", etc. I've been thinking about going back out to sea as a civilian, perhaps in US Navy Military Sealift Command, in which the Navy uses civilian ships staffed with civilian government workers who are certified as Merchant Mariners in order to perform non-combat missions like running hospital ships and replenishing combatant ships at sea. Or maybe i would just work on container ships for Matson. :) If you know any females interested in submarine duty I can tell them what it was like for me if they want! The Navy is still actively looking for female submariners, both officer and enlisted. Anyway I hope you make more videos like this, it was great! :)
neutrino78x If you life allows it, go back to the sea. I was on a Gearing class tin can doing 5" 38 cal. fire missions and surface raids, Haiphong, Don So, Yankee Station, So. China Sea 1971. I don't go to my old ship reunions any more, I don't wanna know who died the previous year & what from; I just want to remember what a bunch of hot dogs we were, young, confident, indestructible- yeah, I'd do it if I were you, good luck!
I'm a nurse in the Army. I can't seem to deploy. It's as if nurses are no longer needed. I've volunteered, begged, bargained, and all I get is the thumbs up to stay home. I guess no one needs sick call overseas.
Awesome! I know deployment length can vary according to previous comments but how often do you typically deploy? Specifically as an Air Force nurse? Do you know if it differs at all from Air Force physician assistant deployments?
Thank you nurses. You took care of me during my 22 years of service.
Well done. Love your vids. Stay safe
ANC, training the Golden Hour. WHOA .
Just found this....excellent, loved it.

Do you still get paid if your not being deployed? And if so, is there a big difference in the pay?
In medic school now, and a long time fan of musicals...I'm digging your work!!! stay safe, ma'am, hope you're back by now!!! -hat tip, from N.C.-
Haha I love this 😂 you have a great voice!
I want to be a flight nurse in the Reserve...are u in the reserve or active duty? Thanks and nice video btw.
I'm AD (active duty) in the Air Force as an ER nurse. Best thing would be to contact a recruiter. Reserves are very different than AD.
Thanks! :)

I’m in nursing school and want to join after. My only concern is being away from my family for too long. How long was your deployment?
My Air Force deployment was 6 months, but deployments can last all different lengths (i.e., 2 months to 9 months).
during the iraq war some CSH were hit with 18 month deployments
The Army CSH deployment are about 12months +/- (3 months pre deployment readiness + 9 months of deployment... etc..)
If you don't mind my asking, how long are deployments for army nurses?
The one army nurse I met over there was on a 9 month deployment. All of us Air Force nurses were there for 6 months.
POG af but I like it
1:33 I love Gerome the roaming gnome!!!
Im senior nurse love God bless
I love you.
Does the army have Flight nursing?
Yes.
how long is a typical deployment?
I want to become an Air Force
