Help me understand please! Residency related
Hi Ladies!
My DH is thinking about a residency at Womack/Eisenhower Army Med Ctrs (at Ft.Bragg and Ft. Gordon), but we are not military savvy so could use some help figuring a few things out.
First, The program provides BAH and BAS stipends, not sure what those are exactly.
Second, They require 4 years of active military duty after residency, any clue what an Army Podiatrist would do/ be stationed?
Third, We would appreciate any insight you might have about living on an Army base (or could we live off the base).
Re: Help me understand please! Residency related
bah & bas are houing allowance and for food...
they can be stationed anywhere, and can be deployed anytime during active duty, but im not sure what he will be doing specifically for his job
you can live off base which is what BAH is for... if you live on base during his AD then you dont recieve the BAH it is taken from his check automatically.
military life can be crazy and hectic, and the other wives can be catty. but i love meeting new people, and living in new places....
You can live on or off post--you choose, and most residency programs are very much into taking care of their own--H's was pretty tight, and it was nice to have a built-in support network when we moved here. It's not a bad way to do residency so long as you don't mind having him deploy at least once, and possibly twice, before his service requirement ends.

Thanks for the info!
Any chance the Army would pay off his loans?
How is pay once he's finished with residency? Is it probably comparable?
