This may come as a surprise/shock to some, but we joined the Air Force!
Out of thousands that applied Brady was among under 200 people who were selected for the HPSP scholarship through the Air Force.
He will be a Commissioned Officer in the Air Force once he is done with school, and in the meantime they will be picking up the bill(s) for his tuition/books/flights/monthly payments throughout his 4 yrs of medical school.
I know many people have very strong feelings for and/or against joining the armed forces when you have a family, but I PROMISE you we thought this through! We have been researching every detail about what this contract means for over a year {we had that extra time ;)} and have gone through all the pros and cons. In the end we don't think this would be the right choice for everyone, but after prayerful consideration we do feel it is right for our family and our situation. I am proud to have a husband who is serving our country!
His commissioning ceremony was April 1st. He is now a 2nd Lt in the Air Force and will have a few opportunities to experience military medicine during clinical rotations, but his time in the Air Force won't really begin until he is a practicing Doc and will then serve as a military Dr for 4 yrs. We are excited about the opportunities we will have as a family and could only have through the Air Force.
