So, I am now about 75% sure that I want to do a fellowship that the Navy does not offer, which would mean doing my time and then getting out to do the fellowship. So my question: for those of you who waited on fellowships, how did you prepare yourself during the time you served as a generalist? Did you moonlight? If you're based somewhat near an MTF (like Pendleton), does it make sense to spend a few days a month working as a trainee on applicable services? Is it possible/legal for you to continue to do resident style rotations for a couple of weeks a year? Or did you just wait it out and hope for the best? For those who did a chief year, did you think is a valuable experience relative to your years of just working in the fleet? Other thoughts?
