Either way, after he's gone to see the recruiter I hope you guys help him out here because you know just how "honest" recruiters can be.
Isn't there some sort of contract he can bring home to review? This would be a good place for current and ex US military people to help him out. See if the recruiter's trying to screw him over. Apparently this happens A LOT. |
Only reason I say this is because the army pulls longer deployments right now, and medics are needed. Hell Im not even in the army and Ive worked as medical support for them before. Once you go general enlisted like that the chances of you staying in garrison long enough to finish any college for medical school is slim. Because lets face it medical school is competitive, you have to keep the good grades in order to be competitve on your MCATS. So this job route is a bit more difficult in the field of getting prep work done for medical school.
I know the simple stuff you can do online, math is math and english is english but the job specific stuff like labs it gets harder. Then you run into the accredidation problems if you want to go to a high end medical school.. its just a very meticulous path alot of people start off wanting but dont realize exactly how much is invloved.
