<p>How does it work? For example, do pharmacist in the airforce remain the same rank or is there potential to advance?</p>
<p>Med Group is a little different than the regular AF. They have promotions in Bio-med and Medical field vs Line officers(regular officers). Much smaller group compete against each other. </p>
<p>Doctors compete for rank against doctors. Most of the people who stay in can make 0-6. Flag rank is more difficult, there are fewer slots. The are many bonus pays given to doctors, pharmacist and dentist. Most are enter active duty at 0-3. </p>
<p>Have had friends who have gone to AFA then med school. They were paid as 2 Lts in school and had there med school paid for in exchanged for many years of service.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information.</p>
