I have been strongly considering a career in the Navy. The military has long been a part of my family's heritage, and I proved to be one of the only males never to join the armed forces. As I grow and begin to mature from my selfish youth to a duty oriented adult, I am feeling a strong call to service. We live in the greatest country in the world, and I feel that it is my responsibility to give back to my nation.
With that said, I was hoping to solicit some advice from those who have chosen this path. What are the pros and cons? Is there room to grow professionally? Can I specialize in the Navy if I someday choose to?
I am starting UNECOM in the fall, and have spent much time contemplating my future. Is the pay in the military comparable to that of civilian medicine? Does it have to be a primary care field that I enter? Although I am almost certain that I want to enter primary care, (thus the D.O. route), I am not yet certain.
Any advice at all would be most appreciated. If anyone cares to e-mail me, my new e-mail is [email protected]
