Thanks for your response! Can I ask if you completed your doctorate with Navy sponsorship? I would love to find out more about the navy's practicum and internship experiences. I have to make a decision which military branch to apply to (or if I can apply to several?) and I am not sure which one is the better fit.
Yeah no problem! Also, I stand corrected. Looks like Air Force DOES have this program.

Here are some threads on this topic (they are a few years old however, so find out for yourself if all this info is still accurate! I don't imagine they would change it too much but still)
Alright- This is intended to be the first post in a sticky about HPSP for clinical psychology. I will attempt here to cover the basics, and then check in periodically if there are specific questions not answered. 1. What is it? HPSP stands for Health Professions Scholarship Program. It is a...

When you are ready to apply to an internship through APPIC, where you will apply is highly dependent on what branch you get the HPSP with. For example, the Navy has their HPSP internships in Maryland, San Diego, and a third place I can't remember. The Army/Air Force will have their internships at their specific bases. Of course you are also welcome to apply to non HPSP internships too. If you know where you want to live and get licensed at, maybe pick the branch that has an internship spot where you would eventually settle down to begin forming connections in the area?
You also asked about age limits. You cannot be older than 41 by the time you start active duty (aka you are licensed and ready to work for them).
Also, I ended up not applying for the HPSP after looking at the pros and cons of the program.
