Has anyone that boarded for the navy on August 1st received the stipend or even the edu action account from BUMED?

My money came in this morning. Strange date but perhaps they had to clear the bank info since it was the first payment.

Hi guys
Anyone knows if the board is going to have more meeting regarding this cycle? Or it is already full for this cycle?

I am also still waiting for the 3yr program for Navy as I applied late for March Board. My recruiter recently informed me about my status and gave me this general information. Hope this helps for some folks in the same boat as me. My recruiter said we should hear about the 3yr program scholarships sometime mid septmeber.

(I guess this is for recruiters but he just forwarded to me)
1. If your DC HPSP or HSCP applicant is an alternate for FY-16 - I will begin notifying recruiters/applicants to offer FY-17 quotas in mid-September. This will allow any required items for FINSEL to be turned in and processed before the new FY begins.
2. NRC cannot release where an applicant is on the alternate list, we simply notify and offer a quota going down the list of alternates when/if a quota becomes available.
3. FY-17 DC 3-year HSCP or HPSP - these programs DO NOT open for applications. These programs' quotas are filled with alternates from the previous FY. I have received several emails inquiring as to whether a student who starts dental school this fall or has already completed one year of dental school can apply for a 3 year opportunity. Unfortunately, these programs will not be opened for applications and I recommend discussing Direct Accession options with these students for when they graduate.
 
Offered 4 yr scholarship this afternoon...just as late as the offer from dental school

nah I was on Waiting list for 4 years since July, almost give up on it. I am actually asking profs for the updated ROL for applying the 3year one. Luckly got the call this afternoon. This is the same as my school offer…I was almost finishing the package for the new cycle, and then got the call from school one weekend before orientation…

Is the recent news affecting anyone decision to enter the armed forces?

Made this claim nearly a year ago.
Looks like I was right.

People are chickening out of accepting their scholarship offers.

Good news for folks on OML

Instability in Middle East was what I was insinuating

But who knows what predents are thinking. Less people accepting scholarship definitely seems like to be the case despite rising tuition (over 20 people denied their army scholarships)

I denied mine in favor of the Navy.
 
Any reason why people are denying their military scholarships other than Trump might be president? I was offered the Navy 4 year scholarship (was on the waitlist). I accepted, and am waiting for further instructions from my recruiter.

Congratulations! I have a few classmates still trying to get the scholarship. A few have joked around with me about the election, so it could be on some people's minds.
 
Just got off of the Army HPSP waitlist yesterday (applied this July) in case anyone's still anxiously waiting.

A few of my classmates that applied the 2020 cycle were offered Navy scholarships recently.
 
Either people are scared of Hillary (let's be real. writing is on the wall at this point) or people aren't giving up spots. Rather, the U.S is ramping up big time in personnel in anticipation for WAR

I also had a classmate be accepted into the Navy program for the 2020 cycle. Does anyone know or have been told for when the board will meet up for the Air Force?

For C/O 2021, it already met in August.

Do you guys know if joining the Reserves would help for HPSP?
Click to expand...

No you cannot have an Active Reserve Appointment and be in the HPSP. The reason is simple. All HPSP students are a member of a different type of Reserve that does not assign them to a unit and therefore, their unit cannot be "called up" dragging the student out of school.

The reasons vary from my parents talked me out of it, or I got a new girl/boyfriend, I found a different scholarship/way to pay, to I talked to an active duty dentist and he said not to take the scholarship. During my tenure working for and with the Army AMEDD, I never once have I heard or seen someone say that they didn't join because of Regan, Bush senior, Clinton, Bush W. (although the war breaking out had some decline) or Obama.

My classmates are in serious relationships and that is their reason for not hopping aboard. Not once have they mentioned the future President.

Thank you! do you know if that applies to medical as well as dental? I am a first year medical student who applied for the three-year program and was told they would hold the first meeting in October.

Check out the military medicine forums for details on that. This board was for Dental Corps.

Hello all, from the pharmacy world! I was recently selected for the Air Force's 3-year pharmacy HPSP, and I just scheduled MEPS for later this month. I was wondering, how long after MEPS did it take for you to get sworn in and your benefits to start? Is MEPS pretty much all you have to do after being selected, until you get sworn in? I'm assuming it works the same despite the different medical fields.

Perhaps you were right, but on the contrary. My classmates whom received or were thinking of applying for the HPSP are now skeptical due to the Trump victory.

Interesting.

On my end, nothing has changed- I will happily accept a commission in our military if I receive the awesome opportunity to do so.

I think it separates the people who WANT to serve versus those who want the scholarship.

How would Trump's victory affect HPSP?
Click to expand...

It didn't affect it at all for me. I want to serve in our military regardless so I'm still pursuing the HPSP.

Ooops misread. Local news kept displaying his agenda's and one them was reducing federal spending
Click to expand...

You are right- he does want to reduce federal spending. However, he is exempting the military from the cuts.

It may surprise you to know that opinion polls have consistently shown that military servicemembers favor Trump over Hillary by a landslide.

Shut the hell up about politics. Your username (unlike these civilian applicants) has a DoD symbol (Navy) assoc with it, you can't talk politics in any shape or form.

Your understanding of the rules is flawed.

You cannot publically endorse a candidate. You can discuss politics even if identifiable as an ADSM as long as you disclaim that the views are personal only.

My post only points out polls that are published in the mass media, particularly ones in the various Military Times pubs. It is not an endorsement. You can talk about candidates, issues, and the election. You can talk about polls. You cannot persuade or urge people to vote one way or the other.

As long as you have the disclaimer, it's fine to discuss politics.
