Navy Medical Center Visit

I think you will find the Navy has a lot to offer. One thing you may want to ask, is what different types of duty choices will be available to you, i.e. locations (Hawaii, Italy, Afghanistan), type of command (hospital, field hospital, clinic, ship), positions (resident, clinician, Dept Head) etc. How long is the training/residency? Also make sure you are maximizing the benefit you receive. I have heard of bonuses as high as $30K for 3 years OR paying off your school loan.

those are definitely some good questions, thanks!

Also, the guys going in this year are getting 120K in repayment PLUS 30K sign on

pretty sweet deal

No military advise, but make sure you visit the San Diego Zoo while you are there. It's right next door.

grew up in socal, been many a time, it's the best zoo

however I'll be on the Navy's time and dime, so there won't be too much leisure activity available to me
