A Great Place To Launch Your Telecommunications Career

If you want to be a dentist but you’re not sure how you’re going to pay for the costly schooling and start-up costs of private practice, perhaps you need to think about a different route. Have you considered being a dentist in the United States Navy? The United States Navy is actively recruiting trained dentists and would-be dentists to join their ranks. Scholarship opportunities make it possible to attend dental school and emerge debt free. Beyond that, you’ll also step right into practice without costly start-up expenses. Patients will be plentiful and your paycheck guaranteed.

When you join the United States Navy, you’ll get to practice dentistry as few other dentists in private practice ever will. You’ll see the world. You’ll serve your country. You’ll make a difference. Now those are things to smile about.

Following A Dream

It’s no secret that dental school is expensive. Perhaps you already have a family and you’re carrying the burdens of undergraduate student loans, a mortgage and the expense of raising a family. The thought of taking on another educational debt seems not just an improbability, but perhaps even an impossibility. What if the United States Navy could take the worry out of pursing your dream? Join the Navy to become a dentist and not only will the military pay for your education, you’ll likely get a signing bonus AND collect a check while you go to school. Housing and healthcare are benefits you can count on. When you complete your training, you’ll pay the Navy back with your service, and sometimes contracts are as short as two years. However, if you choose to make dentistry a career in the Navy, you’ll be well compensated and earn excellent retirement benefits.

Living The Life

Tuition may be your motivation for joining the Navy, but you’ll find as a sailor, you’ll also be part of a lifestyle that offers an array of benefits. We’ve talked about the essentials like healthcare and housing, but living on or near a base also offers a whole host of opportunities. There’s tax-free shopping, free fitness centers—even movie theaters just for service members. You can take advantage of things like social clubs and hobby shops. When you’re a member of the Navy, you’re a member of a community.

Sailors often get the chance to travel. Odds are if you stay in the service long enough, you’ll get to see the country and the world. The Navy takes care of its own and when you do change duty stations, a moving company will pack, transport and deliver all of your belongings to your new address—making moves as easy as possible for the service member and his or her family.

Serving With A Smile

As a naval dentist, you’ll care for sailors and sometimes their families. You may even have the opportunity to participate in humanitarian missions, bringing smiles to people in countries who are in need of the medical care you are trained to offer.

You’ll have the opportunity to continue your training, getting information in the latest technology and perhaps even specializing in a field like oral surgery. But it certainly doesn’t end with education. As a sailor, you’ll be physically and mentally fit. You’ll be part of a bigger picture and you’ll be making a difference in the world… a difference you can be proud of.
