Hello everyone,
I will be applying for a 4 year HPSP this coming year (no prior military service) and was curious what the active duty obligation is following a GMO tour. Without a GMO tour I understand that my ADO payback for a military residency and 4 years of medical school is paid back concurrently. Assuming one went straight through (no GMO) and did a 4 year military residency the payback would only be 4 years of active duty (4+4 but paid back concurrently). This is what I was told by more than one recruiter.
If someone didn't go straight through and happened to do 4 years of a GMO tour followed by 4 years of a military residency then what happens with the ADO payback? Would I be obligated for an additional 4 years? If I separated from the service immediately following my GMO tours and did a civilian residency would I be able to use the GI bill to supplement my civilian residency?
Thanks so much!
