Since you’re active duty you will also be accumulating time for your retirement, so whenever start repaying the time required you’ll only need 16 years, and when you’re done doing your obligated time you’ll only have 12 years left until retirement! I’m trying to do this because I’m prior service so getting time for retirement for going to school is really valuable.

@ErikaCorrea5 жыл бұрын
CONGRATS! We'll be in a similar boat except mine is a 4 year commitment. I'm completely fine with the commitment and my boyfriend is as well because I'll always be doing dentistry just maybe in a different place. We're both ok with traveling and moving somewhere else for a couple years. My two concerns are, having kids while being in the military and possibly being deployed afterwards. This is still 6-8 years in the future but they are still some thoughts I have. How do you feel about it?

@ErikaCorrea5 жыл бұрын
No. I still have to work for them for 4 years afterwards because I'm basically not doing anything right now besides going to school. I'm active duty right now and I'm getting paid but I'm not doing any "work" besides my dental school. In the other program, HPSP, you aren't active duty while you're in school like me and you work for them for 4 years as well. This one pays for your school tuition though so it's a way better deal if you get accepted.

@ErikaCorrea5 жыл бұрын
My only requirements are to complete the physical readiness test (PRT) twice a year and to attend quarterly collegiate meetings. I also have to send them my transcripts every semester and I have to be passing all my classes. The PRT consist of a 1.5 mile run, 2 minutes of pushups and 2 minutes of situps. Technically, since I'm actively duty, I could be deployed but they told me that it would never happen because it wouldn't make sense for them to take me out of school. They're investing in me so I could work for them as a dentist in 4 years so they want me to finish school.

How’s it going Erika, I’ ve been enlisted active duty for 6 years now. When going through the scholarship you received E6 pay, were you considered an 03E your last year of Dental School? I was under the impression that the rating of “E” were given to those who served Enlisted first then Commissioned. Also, your Basic pay jumped from 5k plus to 7k after taxes? The 5k plus you showed is the total for the month in that Grade with x amount of years served. Throwing that out there as some may think it’s 2 paychecks of 5k plus on solely basic pay alone. Your videos are great by the way 🤙🏽I hope to see more as I am following this process in the near future. 🔥
