I will be taking my MCAT this may and hopefully get into a medical school. I looked into doing the national guard since it would allow me to do civilian residency. I know Alabama National Guard will pay for 100% of the tuition but not fees for 6 years of commitment. The 6 years will begin as soon as I finish officer training which will be the summer before medical school. It will be 8 years before I am out of school and I will be done with my commitment. The recruiter also said I will be undeployable as long as I am in school or residency. Also I will not be taking any of the scholarships since it will add 8 years of commitment after residency. Has anyone else gone through this route and can help me decide if this is a good option?
pros:
Military residency and Civilian
Paid tuition
Drill pay
CV boost
Cons :
Drills on the weekends and summer
