I'm currently a first year at UOP, and am looking into military dentistry. That being said I truly know NOTHING. To me, the benefits are two fold: finances, and I've always been a huge patriot and want to serve my country. Right now I'm leaning toward Air Force, but would love insights from you guys/gals. What is the commitment? Would you do it again? What about family/family life? (I'm 25 and would like to settle down and have kids by my early 30's.) Life after military dentistry? Specializing? (Currently interested in Ortho).

Thanks!

If you're not in now, the chances of you getting a scholarship are remote.

If you still want to learn more, I suggest you peruse these threads and read. Lot's of pearls can be had.
