Coming from someone is is going to med school on the Navy’s dime 100%. There is a program you can enter that the Navy offers that will pay in full for your med school bills, along with giving you a monthly allowance. You sign an 8 year contract (not long at all I served 10 as enlisted) the first 4 is Reserve duty unit years while you complete med school, upon graduating you will enter your last 4 years as Active Duty. Heads up though it is not SUPER easy getting in because of the amazing of seats available every Navy year (starting in Oct.). However, because of the demand and lack of contracts, there are a lot of unfilled seats at the moment. Acceptance rate is still rigorous, major things to have is an acceptance letter from any med school or dental or OD, good grades, references, and it looks good for some volunteer hours for the field of medicine. There’s more but to shorten it, these are the main points.
