Interservice Medical Corps Transfer Interest

[NavyDoc333]

Hey,
I am a Navy intern this year and just married a 4th year Air Foce guy at the military medical school (USUHS). With our career choices (Navy Path and AF Emergency Room Medicine) we are going to be seperated for 4 years across country. The only way we would be able to stay together is if another AF doc or med student wants to switch with me (Navy). Just wondering (praying) if someone is in a similiar situation and needs to transfer branches as well....
Thanks-
Lindsey

Frustrating situation. My brother is engaged to a med student and they lived apart for several years but survived and are getting married soon.

Man. What a great reason not to do HPSP. Good luck in your quest. Also consider looking at the opposite option, him going Navy.

This kind of situation was mentioned when i interviewed at usuhs. I'm sure you've already done so, but have you fiance post flyers around the school and ask his classmates. Best of luck!

There's a rule at USUHS: You must date and marry someone from a different service than your own and subsequently try to get one of the two transferred to the other's service. Or whine a lot if it doesn't happen

You'd think that the military would be better about these sorts of situations. But then there is "always the one" that tries to take advantage of the system and ruins it for everyone.

Hey, NavyDoc, no advice from me, but I'm wishing you luck. Time apart from your spouse can be rough and is nice to avoid if there's a way. Fingers crossed...
