GrunttoPA Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 11B 13 years in so far Currently a Recruiter (believe me, I didn't ask for the job) Will start my pre-reqs in 2 years, so if all goes right, I can retire and go to PA school. I am on here for info, so I am going to do some lurking in the shadows, and then ask some questions that I haven't gotten answers on yet.

AdamPAC Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 1 hour ago, GrunttoPA said: 11B 13 years in so far Welcome! Just in case you aren't aware, the Interservice Physician Assistant Program just raised its maximum time in service requirement this year to no more than 15 years for AD Army (no more than 15 by January 1st of the year you would start the program, so that may not apply in your situation, but figured I would point it out in case). Something to consider if you're planning to stay in anyway, especially if you have any college courses already done (You incur a 4.5 year ADSO). Good luck.

AdamPAS, thanks, I spoke with a recruiter for it. I don't have most of the pre-reqs yet, and would require a moral waiver. In addition, I enjoy the Infantry. Thanks though for the info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
