This may be a very naive question, but I know next to nothing about military medicine, so here it is. Are there civilian doctors that are in the military doing other things? Say, for instance, you are a civilian doctor, but want to be a PJ in the USAF or USAF Reserve (I'm not even sure if there are any PJs in the reserves). I don't mean being a doctor with a PJ unit, but an actual PJ, is that possible, or is the training simply too much to do something else? They are sort of related, right? I guess age restrictions would also come into play?
I guess what I am asking is, are civilian doctors always military doctors, or can they choose to do something else if they want to? I have heard of civilian doctors being pilots in the ANG, but that was also from a recruiter, so I thought I might get a more truthful answer here.
Thanks in advance for any information.
