A little more:
Consider the Service Academies. She’ll be on active duty for the entire four years, and will have a commitment obligation of five to six years after, but:
1. They offer a bachelor’s degree, so she’s partway to the MD, and;
2. If she does well academically, she may have the opportunity to attend med school while on active duty. This will incur an additional obligation - usually of two years service for each year of school - but it leads to an MD, and a guaranteed practice for the time she’s in the service.
Again, check it out. The Naval Academy - my alma mater - has what they call “Blue and Gold Representatives” in all states, and can answer questions and provide suggestions, maybe even help in finding a source for appointments to the Academy. I’m sure the other Academies have similar services.
Good luck to your daughter.
I had a live-in girlfriend in the 80’s who had been in the Air Force. She said most of her basic was learning how to properly dress and apply make-up. Then I worked as a civilian contractor at Fort Hood in the mid-90s. The male soldiers (pickle suiters) would be hoofing with 60 pound packs and the ladies had fanny packs. When people started complaining, they all started carrying fanny packs. Just my observations.
I would say the Air Force is a better career choice for a young woman.
