Jason, I doubt you can start nursing school before getting out. You can knock out prereq's thought. Everyone will have to take english, science, and other courses. Have you thought about doing CLEP? That's a test you can take to get out of taking other course. Also your corpsman training can get you out of taking some courses as well (A&P in my case). Hope this helps.

I found the internet to be very unreliable while deployed to Iraq. However, all depends on your FOB/LSA.
