Hey all,
I'm former Navy HPSPer now NADDS in Anesthesiology. When I was getting my paperwork together for superceeding to LT, the folks back in Bethesda mentioned that's important to go LT as soon as possible as my time in NADDS counts towards my time in grade as an LT, and could affect my future promotions.
So, my question is, how long do most residents/attendings remain 0-3 before going 0-4? I noticed a fair number of PGY-2's and above who were at O-4, they all seemed to have been prior GMO's. Does a GMO tour just get make them more likely to be promoted when they are below zone? For me, an out of the loop NADDS guy, will I still make O-4 the first time I am in zone, and how long is that, usually. If I get my deferment extended for fellowship how will that effect things besides increasing my time in grade.
