I found the following bit of news in my Military.Com newsletter this morning and thought it might be of benefit to some of you. Hope it's helpful. The Navy announced requirements for its Medical Service Corps (MSC) In-service Procurement Program (IPP). The MSC IPP provides a path for qualified and career motivated active-duty enlisted personnel to obtain a commission as a MSC officer in health care administration, environmental health, industrial hygiene, pharmacy, physician assistant, or radiation health. Applications for the program are due no later than Aug. 20, 2008. IPP is open to active-duty enlisted Sailors, Marines and Navy full-time support in pay grades E-5 through E-9. Detailed application information can be found at the NAVMED Manpower Personnel Education and Training Command website.
