This guy got a lot of education, and he only owes them 4 years, or has to pay back $71,000? Woopety-Doo either way!

The military has a very sweet deal for doctors. My cousin's husband joined the Navy to pay for medical school. He has one year left of a general surgery residency, after which he owes the Navy four years--maybe. The thing is, the Navy has decided it may not need as many doctors as it estimated when it signed him up.

He may very well end up serving out his obligation in the Reserves and never spend a day on active duty. Even if he does have to serve his active duty obligation, he comes out of the deal debt free, while most of his classmates owe in the neighborhood of $100K

Had I taken advantage of going to graduate school and the Navy paid for it, I would have owed them one year for each 6 months of school, on top of my original commitment. This guy got a real deal.
