You will not get the military TRICARE. You will be reimbursed for enrolling in your schools insurance plan once school starts. If you want to keep complete coverage you will have to pay out of pocket for the time before school starts.
Air Force this past year for me was 3 payments that were all paid in the same month. I am a first year student. I don't remember the amounts paid each time, but the sum of the 3 was 20,000 before federal tax. Interesting to see the army pays it over 3 years.
None at all. Take it or leave it.
)) Voc Rehab is paying for it.
I've found them to be generally intending to be more honest than the storefront general recruiting but far less knowledgeable about what it's like to be the medical person in training. Run any claims by the posters in the .mil forum here...
Let’s say ur trying to join the army dental corps to become an 63E to get into the STRAP program. Once you send your CV to the board, how long does it take for them to make a decision? Decision on whether or not they will accept your application or have a spot for you. My recruiter said that if it’s pass 10 or more days that isn’t a good sign. Just trying to Verify
I was active army for 8 years- hooah! A soldier medic at that. I just got accepted into grad school for OT.
When I was in all the OT’s were GS— that still the same trend?
Thank you!! I don’t know why she would say that. I’m currently in the NG and got my conditional release to move to the Army Reserve. I pray everything goes well
Current HPSP student I get 1,008 dollars twice a month after tax for a total of 2016.00. You will receive that payment for 10.5 months of the year. The other 1.5 months of the year you have 45 days active duty where you get paid about 4,500 salary. You also get ~220 for a food allowance and then BAH (basic allowance for housing) anywhere from 1200 a month to 5000 a month depending on where your medical school is located.
So in the 1.5 months of the year that you don't get the stipend you are getting active duty pay for an O1 officer (3107 a month and since you are active duty for 45 days you get 3107 x 1.5 = 4600 roughly). You will also get BAH during this 45 days, which is based upon where your school is. You can use a calculator BAH Calculator to figure out how much O1 get paid in your zip code for that time looks like it can be lower than what I said before. Mine in my zip code is 1083 a month so (1083 x 1.5 = $1624). Last, Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) is used to pay for food for Enlisted Soldiers and Officers. This is a flat rate no matter where you live and for officers it is 254.39 a month (254.39 x 1.5 = $381). So for that 1.5 months of "active duty" every year I get paid $6605 before taxes over those 45 days or (6605/1.5= $4403 a month). So for the 45 days you get paid much more than the stipend is, but this is only during those days. The rest of the 10.5 months you will get paid right around 2,000 a month after taxes. All in all it is much more money than many medical students live off of each year.
You will have to go to DCC, 4 week course at Fort Sill, OK. Very, very basics of Army and leadership training. Think of it like boot camp for medical officers. PS when a active scroll is submitted they also do a reserve scroll at the same time because technically you commission in the reserves until you start active duty time when you report to DCC. So an active duty applicant will always have an approved active and reserve scroll whereas a reserve applicant will only have a reserve scroll. However because of the AOC switch they have to submit a new one anyway. Just info for your recruiter
I just spent 1000 on uniforms for Commissioned officer training for the Air Force. I only got 450 in allowance for uniforms.
