Please forgive me if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread that answered my specific question.
I graduate college this summer, applying to medical this summer as well and thinking of doing the NG split op. I have heard that when you are in the NG in medical school, they may be more understanding about drill weekends, and since it's difficult to take off an entire weekend while in medical school, I heard some units will allow you to skip certain drill weekends and make it up at a later time. This sounds great but also too good to be true, can anyone verify this?
Also, just out of curiosity, I heard it looks good to have military service on your application. Would it actually help my application though? Because I haven't worked out the dates yet, but I would be going to Basic Training a few days after I submit my application to be verified. I'm most likely enlisting in May.
Thanks!
