I want to join the Army Reserves and i want to get the GI Bill Kicker so i can become a Nurse in the Army (requires a 4 year degree). The origional $ 11,844 isnt enough for me to become a Nurse with a 4 year degree. I can always go to my community college and become a Nurse with a 2 year degree, but the Army doesnt look at that as qualifying to become an Officer. How can i get the Kicker so my GIbill would be $24,444?
