The anxiety is starting to build! Thanks for the update. Best of luck to you!!
Thanks man I'm definitly feeling the anxiety too haha. Good luck!!
Hmmm that seems pretty extreme just based on the amount of time it took for the last several navy hpsps. But I guess who really knows at this point. My recruiter said she believes it will be out this week
That would be awesome lol so two more days??
anything???
You should contact your recruiter and ask about the results. In order for me to find out of my results I had to ask my recruiter. I was OML for the army.
OML? Also I just asked mine earlier this week about navy and he said end of March
I am basically on their waiting list.
When is the army deadline to sign the Dotted line? Since you heard back February 17.
I am not sure about the deadline.
Haha I was way off with my prediction! Hopefully! Fingers crossed.
Waiting for his text back 😅😅😅
I'm having the same problem currently, although I'm leaning toward the Navy. I'm not looking forward to the awkward phone call I'm gonna have to make to decline one of them.
I would give them a call! Never hurts to do so. My recruiter did not even call me first, I had to call.So what if your recruiter has completely ghosted you all day lol asking for a friend
Just got the call
It was my undergrad GPA. But D1 GPA should help for the next go around. Congrats all!
Same here, leaning more Navy.
I wouldn't bank on the not going operational part. There was a cut in billets a couple years back and so really I have heard that you should expect to go operational, deploy, or be with a MEU for about 2 years of your 4 year payback.
•ODS is like “fork & knife” school (if someone can I’d like to hear the difference between ODS and BOLC)(I loved my time in ODS. One of the best experiences in my life. I made a lot of friends there(my roommate was a chaplain and he was cracking jokes like crazy and I couldn't stop laughing)
•Possible to directly match into residency right out of DS(this varies by residency but in general yes. I would say the only residencies you have the highest shot of getting in to straight from school would be OS, comprehensive dentistry, and pros. Perio/Endo are a bit harder to get into straight from school but not impossible. Pros is not very hard to match into.
•Possible to do FTOS (active duty but full time civilian residency, incurs further payback)(yes only for OS, operative dentistry, and Pedo. You will also collect full salary and have your tuition paid for).
•Nicer location (mainly coastal but I heard you either end up on a carrier or a submarine as dentist? There are still ****ty ones ofc)(This is very subjective matter. What one finds to be nice may suck for another. I personally think camp lejeune sucks and rather be overseas in okinawa, mainland japan, guam, or bahrain). And no we don't have dentists on submarines(lol where did you hear this from?)
•Newer facilities in general(I have only been in the Navy so not sure)
•Officers seem to get more respect(I would say we do less military things than the Army. I have a friend who is in the army and he definitely does more non-dentistry stuff than us).
The rank system for the two are different in terms of names but the pay is identical. I personally lean towards Navy because of location (closer to family and/or partner). Would love to hear more about this as we have until the 31st to decide.(good decision
Is it possible to do FTOS residency directly after dental school? I'm specifically interested in pedo right now
What Navy stuff is due by the 31st exactly?
Go Navy!Finally had the “breakup” phone call with my Army recruiter. Go Navy!
Awesome! I Just got it to my recruiter today.
