The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south. Albuquerque is also the home of the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest such gathering of hot-air balloons from around the globe.
Step 3: Join the Air Force. After earning their bachelor's degrees and licenses, nurses may join the Air Force provided they are also U.S. citizens and meet physical requirements. Nurses who join the Air Force are required to complete a 4-week training course in Montgomery, Alabama. Both physical conditioning and classroom learning are part of this training program.
They must also study at the Airman Leadership School (ALS) for six weeks; this school is the first part of the Air Force's required professional military education. The six weeks of ALS must be completed before a SrA can be promoted to a Staff Sergeant.
