I have been thinking about documenting my journey through the Army for some time now. Its taken me 2 1/2 years to get around to it. My goal here is to allow individuals who are interested in a career in the Army Dental Corps to gather knowledge about the job/life/commitment so they can make an informed decision about joining.
There are a lot of great things about a career as a dentist in the Army, but with the good comes the bad. A lot of people come in blind to the realities of what that commitment to the Army actually means. Our recruiters have done a great job in the last few years of selling HPSP scholarships. But like good recruiters do, they highlight the positive and skip over the negative.
Im here to talk about both.
