I have been interested in medicine my entire life and have become increasingly curious about the military medical corps. I have read the numerous threads about pros and cons but one issue in my searches never seemed to be addressed. Maybe the reason is that it is more of a general military question, but it relates to medical service anyway.
I am a devout Seventh-day Adventist and I believe in keeping the Sabbath (this should be an obvious clue as to where I will attend med school!), but does commissioned officers training, active duty, or any service within the medical corps respect those beliefs? Should I avoid the military all together for a fear of conflicts in interest? I don't want a debate on religion here, I'm just exploring all aspects of this option.
