During this time, I receive tuition assistance. This pays tuition up to a certain point, provided that I remain enlisted through the duration of the courses taken, and provided that I pass with a C or better. I will be finishing my baccalaureate of science in health science in the next one and a half years, while I am still enlisted and receiving tuition assistance. When I have finished this degree, I will be beginning a masters in biology, partially online, from the Harvard extension school I will still be receiving tuition assistance for a decent portion of this degree. This will last through the last year of my enlistment, at which point I will be moving to Cambridge MA for the remainder of my masters. The money not immediately used from my Pell grants is being put into savings, and whatever I have left over will help me pay for this masters degree. At this point, I will begin dipping into my GI bill to pay tuition, and whatever grants I receive will help to pay living expenses. Once I have completed the masters, I will be attending whatever ends up being the best and most cost-effective medical school to which I am accepted. Hopefully, when I finish my medical degree, I will be able to complete an internship and residency at the hospital of my choice. When applying for my internship, my resume will already include five years active duty service, one deployment acting as the sole medical provider for over 50 patients, four and a half years practicing medicine under several MDs and PAs, a baccalaureate in health science, a master’s in biology, and a fistful of letters of recommendation from the practitioners for whom I have worked. I already have seven very strong letters of recommendation from two independent duty corpsmen, one physician’s assistant, and two medical doctors for whom I have worked extensively. Five years from now, I should be finished with both my baccalaureate and my
