I'm thinking of making the switch to nursing and if I do I shoud have my BSN in 2-3 years. I have decided that if I go this route I would like to join either the Army or Air Force Nurse Corps.

I have dual citizenship - US and Finnish. Would I be forced to give up my Finnish citizenship?

I also have 2 cats and 1 dog. I do have people they can stay with while I'm in training. Is there any place where I can read regulations in regards to pets and military housing?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I have no idea regards to your dual citizenship question. Yet, as long as we are talking about a NATO country prob okay.

As far as the pets, if your stateside (CONUS) the off post housing & pets your all on your own. Base housing (on post housing) is for military with (human) dependents. ;)

If, you do have dependents and desire on post housing you would have to check the number of pets rule with each base housing office. They are now civilian run & seperate from the military. So, not a blanket Army Reg on pets and base housing.
