I'm finishing up my first year of med school and want to pursue a 3-year Navy HPSP. The recruiter I spoke with today said that the Navy has filled their 3-year quota already. I wondered whether I should take this info at face value or whether this just means that I need to find the right person or right recruiting district or show more interest/be more persistent, etc. I ask because it seems there is a huge advantage to doing a 3-year vs. a 2-year HPSP (the recruiter said I could submit a package for the latter in Oct.): the minimum service obligation is 3 years either way, so you're giving up $$$ for no reduction in your service commitment by doing a 2-year scholarship (the recruiter confirmed this). Having followed this forum over the past few years, it seems there are loads of stories about inaccurate info from recruiters, so is there any way for me to confirm that the Navy is in fact done with 3-year scholarships for the class of 2017?
