Have seen this before — young officer gets accepted into the doctor program of the military, DoD (taxpayers) spends a lot of money getting him his medical degree, spend more money for his internship and residency, new doctor gets his first position, makes in the small six figures and then decides he doesn’t want to be in the military any more because he can make more on the outside.
All of a sudden they become anti-war and anti-military. We had one of those at Wright-Patterson.
I was thinking the same thing.
Look like a case of SDS* to me, more so than wanting the bucks of a civilian practice.
*Sudden Jihadi Syndrome.
Yes he has benefited from the U.S. military from the start (ROTC). ROTC was a four year commitment, and he would have had at least another six for the Medical School. I don’t know if he gets credit after Medical school (residency etc or not) but he was on the hook for at least eight years of service I bet.
I have talked to my daughters about the possibility of the Health Professions scholarship (especially makes sense if you are going to Vet school since the after graduation dollars are less).
