I'm going in for my physical at MEPS this Friday and wanted to get some questions answered before I sign on the dotted line. Some geographic info: I am in the South Florida region and will be attending school in Miami. Now the questions:
1. My recruiter says I have no drill obligations during medical school. Has this been anyone else's experience?
2. I'd love to do BOLC this summer before going to medical school. I'm in some of the best shape of my life right now and would rather get it out of the way before stress, school, and sleep deprivation take its toll on my body. Is going to BOLC something I can do before MS-1?
3. When does pay for MDSSP usually begin? As soon as I'm commissioned or as soon as school starts? I have to come up with money for an apartment this summer and could use the money before I start school for living expenses.
4. Are there any questions I should ask my recruiter before swearing in?
I'll be following up with my recruiter and asking him these questions this Friday but wanted to check with the community here to see what your experiences were.
On a side note, I've got to say that I'm so happy and excited to be joining. Sure, there are less than glamorous aspects of military service, but this is definitely one of those life long dreams I've had.
