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 Military Training is about 8 1/2 weeks long and technical school can be anywhere from 6 to 52 weeks, depending on the career you choose. If you pick a job with a 6-week training time, you'll be away for approximately 16 weeks total. The average time required to be away for training is between 18 and 20 weeks.
