Navy Are there any available Direct Accession spots in the Navy?

[Batmansvoice]

About how many? The reason I ask is because I spoke with two recruiters. The first told me not to bother applying since it was late in the fiscal year and there are no spots left. The second told me to at least apply as there are a few spots (not sure if a few means 5 or like 1 haha). Can any Navy DMD's or DDS' familiar with the possible number of spots for general dentists chime in? Thank you so much.

There are never that many spots, but the only way to find out is to apply.

Thanks. If you don't mind my asking, how many have their been in recent years? By a few is it closer to 1-3 or 5-6?

Less than 15 across all specialties the last year I saw data for.

Wow, including OMFS and Prosth? Were you able to see the specific general dentist number?
