I have been researching this topic this afternoon since it looks like the ASR program is going away in the National Guard.
I found a document that says that if you do both (MDSSP & STRAP) you only have a 1:1 ratio to payback instead of the 2:1.
What I am confused about is what exactly is the service commitment then?
Let's say I take 8yrs of med school and residency....
Will I owe 16 total yrs back....those 8 yrs and the basic mandatory 8 yrs for signing up?
I know the ASR was just 8yrs period and I could take advantage of the scholarships and retention bonus.
I would appreciate any clarification....I am trying to figure all this out...
