Pathways for Dental School
Hi all! I have a few questions about my situation: My husband is currently in dental school and is thinking about joining the Air Force for tuition assistance. If accepted, he’d serve 3 years post grad. However, his recruiter told him it would be really hard to get a waiver for his tree nut allergy for which he would need an epipen. I have heard from others that it’s easier to get this waiver for the ANG, is thar true? I have some other questions as well: 1) what is the difference in how often he would be away/deployed in AF vs ANG (vs Air Force Reserves as well)? 2) Are there dentists in the ANG at all or are those tuition assistance programs more of an AF thing? 4) Can you enlist in ANG or AFR during school or do you wait till after graduation? 5) What is the difference in training like for a physician in the AF vs ANG vs AFR. Any insight would really appreciated since I am totally lost on this stuff :’)
