For context, I've always wanted to serve. Turned down HPSP before med school because I didn't like the idea of a military residency and preferred the civilian match and maybe going after.
We received info about the option to join the reserves now that we are M2s. We'd get 2300 per month, and accrue 2 years of drill obligation for each year of assistance. Drill obligation would apparently normally begin after residency, but they said "usually."
I'm interested because this would cut my debt about in half and again I always wanted to be in anyway. However I'm worried there could be pitfalls with residency apps so wanted to reach out on here and see if anyone more knowledgeable had advice. Thanks!
