Hoping someone can shed some light on this:
Scenario:
I was selected for the Supply Corps via DCO board and my ultimate goal is to transfer into the HPSP or go to USUHS.
I have about 3 years before I'll be ready for med school, still taking my pre-reqs and MCAT and my recruiter told me it would be no problem to get a "conditional release" from my command since I was still staying in the Navy and with the shortage of docs. He said they would readily be able to replace a supply corps officer and would release me at that time. I just wonder how valid his statement is. Will I likely encounter any struggle to get that release into the HPSP or will I be stuck for my 8 year committment in the Supply Corps and have to wait to go medical until after that? any encouragement would be great. I just decided to take the plunge and take the risk. I was told if I had declined the commission that I would likely be "blackballed" in the eyes of ever obtaining a Naval Commission again.
