    i thought that the information was very useful i enjoyed looking at it i am 14 years of age and want to go into this field do you need really good grades to be hired in this job?

    Dear Hadashia Pea,

    Yes, you do need to have good grades to get hired for this job. To be a U.S. military officer you need to have a bachelor’s degree, which means you need to earn a four year degree from a university.

    There are two ways to get a bachelor’s degree:

    The first option is you must do well enough in High School to get directly into a four year university. Since you are only 14 years old, you have time to work on your grades, and participate in extracurricular activities, such as playing sports or volunteering in order to be competitive to enter a university. Also, to get to these universities you will be required to take SAT or ACT standard tests, so make sure you borrow a book from your library and start practicing taking those tests. Most universities also require letters of recommendations from people such as your teachers and coaches. So make sure you have good relationships with these adults in your life because you are going to need them to write a letter of recommendation for you. Don’t be overwhelmed by this. Find your school counselor, and make sure that he or she understands your career plans to help you better. Also, find someone that has gone to college already and is wiling to help you. A person like that can help you remember when it is time to take tests, apply to schools, apply for scholarships or financial aid, and so forth.

    The second option you have to get a bachelor’s degree is useful if getting into a four year academic institution is not possible for you, either because it’s too expensive or because your grades or SAT scores are not high enough. So if you can’t make it to a four year institution, don’t worry. When you graduate from high school you can always go a two year community college, finish your two year degree there, and then apply to a four year university and then finish the last two years of school there. You get the same bachelor’s degree that everybody else gets, there is no difference.

    But don’t think about good grades as just a number. Go to school to learn and enjoy it.

    I hope this helps,

    Veronica

    Is the Air Force the only branch that commissions Health Care Administration officer candidates who only have bachelors degrees? Does the Air Force send their officers to graduate school at some point in their HCA career, and if so, is it an MHA degree, or MBA (or other)? What schools in MHA would they be eligible to attend?

    I took the GRE years ago and completed an MPH degree in May of 2008. The problem is, the university is accredited, but I was in the first graduating class and the program wasn’t accredited when I graduated. Would I still have a chance at this opportunity?

    I’m graduating with a Health services administration degree in 3 months. I plan on going to graduate school for a M.P.H. or a doctorates in public health. I know the navy has a program where they put you through graduate school, does the air force have a similar program? I was also wondering what GRE score ranges are accepted?

    I have an MBA with an emphasis in Health Care Management. Presently, I am a civilian contractor working for the USAF, but would like to know what are the criteria’s to become a ANG officer or USAF Medical Service Officer. Also, is there an application window for 2011?

    A lot. More today than a year ago.Because of Obamacare, no company in America offres stand alone children’s health insurance.Why? Obamacare dictates that it is guaranteed issue, without rate ups, regardless of health. Therefore, there is no reason to purchase it until there is a claim needing to be paid.That’s not health insurance. That’s a confiscatory tax on health insurance companies. Fortunately, they aren’t slaves yet, so they exercised the F U clause in the contract with the purple bellies from Washington and just refused to do business where they are guaranteed to lose money.How do you fix the problem of un- and under-insured? By making health insurance affordable.How do you make it affordable? By removing ALL government mandates, loser pays tort reform, encouraging competition between providers (enforce existing anti-trust laws), eliminate the AMA monopoly on billing codes, and eliminate the connection between employment and health insurance.Do these things and we’ll see health insurance cost less than auto insurance. More people will be covered, more people will be healthy.

    Does the Air Force grant age waivers to age 44-45? I’m a licensed nursing home administrator with a MHA.
    Thank You,
    HM McBride
