I’ve been in the military for 12 years and am currently serving in the national guard. I’ve recently been accepted to dental school and will start June 2021. I still have 4 more years left on my national guard contract and am starting to worry about how I’m going to manage going to drill...

I will be starting medical school this summer and I plan on doing the Mdssp/strap programs throughout med school and residency. I've read/heard that only select specialties are eligible for Strap in the reserves and I do not see internal medicine on this list. Here are my questions: 1) Is strap...

I've seen this question asked a few times before, but there aren't too many responses besides a post from 2006. I will be starting medical school in August, and after extensive research (and deciding against HPSP) I am deciding between joining the National Guard or the US Army Reserves for...

Hello everyone, I am in the middle of joining the Army Reserves. I have medical school plans down the line. I cannot do it at the moment since my wife is going through PA school. Has anyone applied for HPSP during their reserve duty? Does it help/hurt to get HPSP while serving a reserve...
