Has anyone heard anything generally about the various service selections? Any thoughts on whether there will be a sub draft this year? Mostly just curious, but DS is a Firstie.
VEGEP and service assignment Questions.
How does a Mid's participation in VEGEP impact service selection? Does the Mid select with his/her class, or does selection defer until completion of the grad program that the Mid is in?
Does VEGEP participation impact on service selection options? Does the fact that a given Mid is not immediately available to the USN make the VGEP mid less attractive in competition for a given service assignment?

Now studying for LSAT. That prior experience may help on the applications but who knows.
My $0.02 . . . there is PLENTY of time for DD to pursue med school or law school or anything else. As the Senior Medical Officer at USNA told BGOs many years ago, "Go do something FUN for a few years [before going to med school]." I would echo that for law school. Many, many successful lawyers have had prior jobs and even careers before attending law school.
I also think everyone should start their USN/USMC career as if it will be just that: a career. You don't want to start burning bridges as a JO only to find out you really love the military and want to make it a career. But, you really can't because you took the wrong jobs or didn't do very well b/c you were only thinking of "5 and dive." Give 100% for 5+ years and then see where you are and what you want to do.
. However, y'all sleepin on how lowkey being a sub officer will be post service.
what does that mean?
He might've missed a word after lowkey but I think he's saying that subs will set you up well to make lots of $$$ once you get out of the military
It's not unheard of for people to pick subs just because they think it'll maximize their earning potential when they get out
