I am new to the forum. I wanted to give a little background info. I took a NPSB(non prior service basic) contract in 06'. It consists of going to full active duty bootcamp(ranked #1 in division 022), HM "A" school( ranked #8,education petty officer, graduated 15 classes early), FMSS(now FMTB:Field Medical Training Batallion, salutorian, education petty officer) "C" school at Pendleton, and then home to my reserve unit which was 4th Med. Bn Phoenix. Its an 8 year contract and came with a 20k bonus. I cant get out of the contract or Ill have to pay back the bonus. I want to get out early when I get my bs to possibly go hpsp. I have been lurking/reading many hpsp/fap threads. I got all of the training but never got real greenside or blueside training. Now Im in Washington finishing my bachelors. Im a sophomore now, about to obtain my associates. I like the idea of becoming a surgeon but im sure ill change my mind a few times I have alot of years left. Im back in 4th Med Bn. Im about to pick up HM3. What advice can you students/Drs. give? I just want to pick some Navy brains. Thanks.
