Do air force nurses have to learn things about the airplanes at any ponit in the training?


Do air force nurses have to learn things about the airplanes at any ponit in the training?

Bah, why do people answer questions when they have no clue?

YES! Air Force general officer training guidelines include a battery on Aerospace History and Employment, including a section on current aircraft and their distinctive capabilities. Now, COT may be the only option where this battery is abreviated, but nursing program candidates through the ROTC as well as OTS will need to learn and demonstrate knowledge of certain aircraft and other platforms.

No, not unless you are going to be a member of a flight crew doing air-vac's.

YES! Safety issues.

yeah how to get on and off the plane.

Not unless you are in flight med or air rescue. Most of the nursing candidate goes through BOT instead of COT which is a shortened officer training course to understand the basics of military life.

Only evacuation plans. Medvacs, Aerovacs do because they will be in the planes with the wounded, sick, injured, etc.
That's it, only 5% of jobs in the AF are pilot status, just FYI and anyone else thinking that everyone in the AF is a pilot lol
But yeah, Basic Officer Training (BOT) for nurses. ;)

How not to get airsick might be a good tool to have!
Anyone who flies has to go through Egress training and if you're going into a war zone they might want you to go through SERE(Survival Evasion Resistance &Escape) training.

All great answers, they forgot one thing, to make sure the pilots don't get sick!!!

Yes, safety and communication. Try medevac ( helicopter transport)
