Moreover, they receive the base pay for their rank PLUS professional pay (which lawyers do not receive).

Service as a military doctor would be great experience and a valuable service to the country.

When I completed my obligation from the ROTC scholarship, I continued in the Reserves. Now I'm drawing a monthly retirement pay. I regret none of it.
