There are many ways for her to acheive the goal of being an MD and being a member of the Armed Forces. My daughter is pre-med and has talked to many recruiters also. So I have been exactly where you are.

Here's what I know that is the only advice you need. Go with the branch that is willing to put in writing what they promise! My daughter did not go with the Armed Forces option because no branch was willing to put in writing that they would allow her to become one of three specialities. They would all promise everything else, but when the time came to say ' what kind of doctor?" it was 'Whatever the (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, etc) needs at the time."

She had to say no for now, but will go back and apply at medical school again.

Agreed. Whoever signs on the dotted line for the best training and ongloing training....

For a girl....probably AF, but personally, I’d go with whoever can go cyber.....
