The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south. Albuquerque is also the home of the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest such gathering of hot-air balloons from around the globe.
Step 3: Join the Air Force. After earning their bachelor's degrees and licenses, nurses may join the Air Force provided they are also U.S. citizens and meet physical requirements. Nurses who join the Air Force are required to complete a 4-week training course in Montgomery, Alabama. Both physical conditioning and classroom learning are part of this training program.
Basic Training is eight and a half weeks and, depending on the job you select, Tech School could be anywhere from five weeks to a year. After you graduate from Tech School, you return home and start training at the Air Force Reserve Unit you are assigned to (within a reasonable commute of where you live).
