The military "match" was published this morning. Jon is deferred to a civilian radiology residency. This means we will be going through the normal match with everyone else.
I happened upon an old post of Claudia's regarding if her husband had an alternative to serving the military for four years once his deferred residency ends. My understanding is that, unless he buys himself out of the contract (ie pays the military back in one lump sum - which is $100,000+) he is required by law to serve that time. Even if he fell into enough money to buy himself out, the military might still not renig on the contract. Sorry if that's disappointing news! My understanding is that the military has such a high turn over with docs getting out as soon as their time is paid back that they are always desperately needing EVERY specialty!
