I just started dental school in Utah and am trying to apply for the US Air Force Health scholarship. I was wondering if anyone, or knows someone, with first hand experience being a health care professional in the military? I`m just trying to figure out what kind of lifestyle I should expect being a dentist in the military, specifically Air Force.
One major concern I have is how long are deployments for health professionals and how close would we be to "the front lines"?
I`ve always been intrigued by the military but never thought I had what it takes to actually pick up a gun and fight. I guess this is another way I can support my country without violence.
Also, if anyone is Air Force or knows someone from Air Force, I`ve been trying to get a hold of a recruiter for 3 days now with no response. I know the deadline for the scholarship is coming up soon so if anyone has a contact, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Thanks!
