As a draftee, I have no advice. However, your cousin has to realize that she has to go to basic training and AIT which is as I recall 16 weeks at E-1/E-2 pay. I think a 38 year old has expenses that would put her further behind. Also Peace Corps and VISTA I believe are other alternatives.
Thanks, JVB. I hope you’re doing well. I think she’ll go in as an officer and get herself on track with her medical career.
