I love it, I wasn't expecting it to be so big, I guess all of those pics of it next to the DF kinda skewed my perception a bit. It has almost a half inch on my Yard Hook. The plastic liner could always be tighter, perhaps down the line I'll replace it with a Kydex fit liner, but it appears it was glued in place, so I don't think it's gonna go anywhere easily. The Straps and snaps fit perfectly, tight for a no rattle hold, but not too tight to strap. My biggest problem with the sheath is figuring out a place to MOLLE it to my gear, lol.

Nursing school sounds good

She just graduated high school this year. She is going to take her pre-nursing classes this upcoming year, then nursing the next. After that, she's talking about enlisting in the Air Force once she's got her nursing degree.

Comparison shots beside the DF skewed my view as well......till I got my DF and then it was,
"WOW!!! The Reg is gonna be HUGE!!!"
Glad to hear you like it.

I was hoping she would go now, then use her GI Bill money for a Bachelors Degree. But as I told her, it's her life. Be smart about how you use it.

I'm in the Army, currently in the reserves. I'm pushing a packet to go active duty, but at the rate my commander keeps coming up with excuses why not, the war will be over before I get on active. I might have to wait until they put me into the Individual Ready Reserve and just go talk to a recruiter. She definitely stands to make a lot better money in the nursing field, lol. My mother is an RN, and she makes 4x what I make at my civilian job in 3 days of work, something like 32$ an hour... If only I could stomach that job.

It can be a tough job

She is smart enough that she can do anything she wants to, if she has the drive to do it. She talked about going to Medical School, but I think the idea of going to school that long turned her off. Now, her idea is to do Nursing School, then enlist Air Force as an officer and go from there. She likes the idea of traveling all over the world. I've told her she needs to talk to more people in the AF and see what it's REALLY like, not what a recruiter told her.

You should tell her to go talk to a recruiter about joining the reserves. One thing I learned as a reservist, Big Army is for fighting, the Reserves are for going to school on the govt's money. With FiA (financial aid) from the reserves (esp Air Force reserves, they spoil the hell out of the air force, lol) and any grants she may have recieved before, as a full time student she'll be sittin' pretty as far as money goes.

Hmmmm, I'll ask her about that tomorrow. She didn't qualify for Pell Grants, we made too much money (by less than $1,000) Which means we can't afford to pay her way, so it's either student loans or scholarships. Not sure what she applied for, but I'll ask her. Thanks ECF

Yeah, recruiters tend to lie, or not even know the right answer, but they'll make something up to string you along. Even a seasoned recruiter might not have all the answers. The reserves is the way to go though, if she wants to get her education. Basic training counts as 30 college credits for the Army, not sure what it is for Air Force, basic being shorter and all. Plus, if she picked a Medical MOS, she'd get extensive training and hands on training that can't be had in a classroom, and she won't have to pay for hardly anything.

She was on the short list for an appointment to the Air Force Academy, but didn't make it. That would have helped out LOL.
