I'm a 27 year old pharmacist that's highly educated and thinking of joining reserves or national guard while I am still young and physicaly fit. I'm looking for something that will maintain a civilian job, but have fun to travel and make a difference. I don't want to go through harsh boot camp or anything crazy, and don't want anything that they will lock me down into a long time commitment or contract. I'm not sure which one is best for me, heard air force reserves is good to join. Thoughts?

What service did you go into? I’m hesitant of USPHS since heard negative things like their service has no money and are cutting their service members pay, have to get a civilian job and beg to get deployed which usually the seniors get the opportunity, and negative press. It just doesn’t seem to be an actual functioning military service

It is a uniformed federal service but not a military branch. The five military branches are Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Marines Corps, and the Air Force. The Marine Corps gets their medical support from the Navy.

Purely a suggestion, I understand why you want that way, look at the USPHS Commissioned Corps, I should’ve done it, I would’ve if I’d known it existed when I went in, trust me, take the and compare, look up their pharmacy page, ok?
