Feasible?

<p>mrgreenapple, it explicitly states in that document that the minimum service for an army doctor out of West Point will be 13 years.

USMA graduates incur an additional ten-year service obligation or seven years of obligated service with a six-year reserve obligation, which starts following residency. If you come to West Point to be an Army doctor, understand that you will be an Army doctor for a long time.</p>

<p>Usually USUHS graduates continue their medical education with one year of internship and two to four years of residency. No additional obligation is incurred for internship training.</p>

<p>Obligations incurred for medical training are added to any other active obligation, whether incurred prior to matriculation or subsequent to graduation. For USMA graduates, this means that the seven-year obligation is in addition to the five years for which they are already committed as well as one year of internship. In terms of total service, this means approximately 13 years.
