Looking into both the MDSSP program for the army reserves and the national guard, the reserves appears to be far superior:
1. There is no drilling in the reserves during med school.
2. Who get paid drill pay each month in the reserves---along with the stipend.
3. When fulfilling obligation to reserves you can do only the DIMA--ie three weeks a year and no weekend drills.
4. Nat. Guard ASR program is on hold and not taking new applicants.
I'd rather do Nat Guard, but the reserves appears to be the better, more flexible option---and in the big picture, it all serves the same purpose.
I'm I wrong in any of these assumptions?
Thanks for the help,
Conrad
