Question to all Corpsmen (active, reserve, retired, etc) out there. I'm active duty at a shore command right now. I have all the intention of going to medical school after my enlistment is up (Jan '13). I'm currently taking courses at a local C.C. attempting to knock out my Gen Ed/Pre-Req's. My question is, what do I do next? After I leave here, its sea duty or c-school for me, and from what I've been told, it's extremely difficult to go to school during that time. Also, a lot of the schools cater to active duty and offer bachelors degrees are schools online or that don't have a major that interests me. I want to go to a local 4 year university but the UC/CSU system (I'm stationed in San Diego) requires a minimum of 60 hours plus certain gen-ed courses in order to be accepted. I won't have that for another 2 years or so. Finally, if I were to be going to a 4 year university, I would need to be going night school because of working throughout the day. Is it even possible for me to complete a bachelors degree at a local 4 year institution, if so, how? If your a former corpsman and are in med-school or a MD/DO, how did you do it? I'm not looking at any STA-21 packages because I have no intention on staying in. Any input would help so much.
