can I be a combat nurse?..airborne?

Hello, I hope to get my BSN in a year, and then hopefully get commissioned into the Army Nurse Corps, (Reserves) I will be 43 at that time with No prior service.

My question is: will I be eligible to be a combat nurse? For example: become airborne or air-assault qualified. Because, as far as I know, commissioned nurses who come in this way do not go thru BCT. I would love to be able to be part of a Forward Surgical Team but I don't know if I would qualify since I will not have the normal military experience of an enlisted soldier. Also, are the same opportunities available to the Reserve nurse as the Active Duty nurse?
I'm in great shape and plan on staying that way.
thanks
