Dave: I was being specific to the army, a position with the RAF or Navy would be completely different as you have pointed out. I thought about posting that option after I had switched off the computer last night, couldnt be bothered to reboot and then forgot about it.
Cornholio, you had obviously already decided to try it, all you needed was a push. TBH I could see that from the start. But I would urge you to at least think of the RAF. If I hadnt suffered the arthritis problems I have then I might be a nurse or something in that.
Remember you dont have to stop at being a nurse, some go on to semi-doctor or surgeon training. I had one nurse doctor sew up a cut on my hand for me and she did a damn sight better job than the young woman doctor who did the split on my forearm.
OK, the doctor was a damn sight prettier but really that doesnt count when they were effectively terrifying themselves over what was a minor injury. That meant I had to deal with her emotional problem as well as lack of training and be the ing patient!
