What is your motivation to mislead HPSP candidates to this degree? Whether you want to be a cheerleader for the program or not, I don't see the benefit of waylaying unsuspecting rubes into a process that has a 25% chance of a 4 year delay in completion of their residency. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 (i.e., you don't get paid this week! )
He never said they wouldn't. He stated you do not go directly from med school into internship. That is true. All three services will send a portion of the graduating interns to an operational (GMO) assignment. Don't forget there are a significant number of members that actually choose to go operational.
