ERAS & the "committed to fulfill a U.S. military active duty" question.

Ok so there's a question that asks, "Are you committed to fulfill a U.S. military active duty service obligations/deferments? Yes or No"


I just want to know precisely what it's asking (not from an English-standpoint), and what's the 'right' answer to put here?

Thanks.


EDIT: Also, In the "Other Awards/Accomplishments" section, do these have to be medically related?

Does the Army own your ass? Are you military educated/funded and do you need to do time in Mil Med following your residency?

The "right" answer depends on your answers to the above.

No. But unless it's Phi Beta Kappa, an Oscar/Emmy/Tony or a Fulbright/Rhodes (or something similar) nobody will really care. No reason not to put it down but it's not going to make or break your app.
