[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think either path is great. I did ROTC plus active army afterwards. I think ROTC and a sport could be compatible- though both programs would have to find some compromise. But if your child wants to go to medical school, the service obligation gets long. They need to come to terms with this. If you go to USUHS it’s + 7 yrs service (on top of 4 yrs ROTC obligation). I believe if you just have a HPSP scholarship for medical school it’s only a 4 yr obligated (plus 4 yrs rotc). The service obligation clock doesn’t start until you’ve finished residency/fellowship. So add that all up and you’d be just a few yrs shy of having a full benefits military retirement. [/quote] *just adding, while medical school, residency, and fellowship don’t count toward service obligation, they do count as years in service for retirement purposes. [/quote]
