I am a current M3 on the Naval HPSP scholarship hoping to do General Surgery or Internal Medicine to one day do Oncology (either surgical or medical, depending on the route I choose). When I got accepted, I was overjoyed about free medical school as well as serving my country in the Navy (family is full of Marines, but Navy is as close as I could get with them). However, reading this forum, I am really discouraged about my choice. I knew about GMOs going in and I am very interested in Flight Surgery.
So, after reading the Pros thread and watching it get derailed hard by a few people that hated their service, I am very discouraged that the Navy won't be worth the scholarship and better pay as an intern and resident. AND, if I decide I hate it and want out, how easy will it be to transfer from a military to a civilian position when I finish my service?
