Sean Patrick4719715<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My wife is looking at a possible direct commission for a 70A. She is in the fact finding stages now, and has an appointment with a recruiter next week. Not sure yet on active duty or reserve. She has her master's in healthcare administration already. I'm assuming that helps? What would she be appointed to, O-1? O-3? Where would she be assigned? Is the pay scale different for this position, or is it the same for any officer?70a and direct commission?2019-06-13T16:02:44-04:00Sean Patrick4719715<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My wife is looking at a possible direct commission for a 70A.

As to her appointment would be based on recent grad with no real time or ? I would err to the side of caution and say O-1, anything higher is gravy!Response by CW3 Kevin Storm made Jun 13 at 2019 4:29 PM2019-06-13T16:29:44-04:002019-06-13T16:29:44-04:00CPT Susan Black4736181<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That’s just the starting point. I took a direct commission & went with 70 Echo. Check to see how long she has to have her commission. It may have been 10 years.Response by CPT Susan Black made Jun 19 at 2019 6:47 PM2019-06-19T18:47:16-04:002019-06-19T18:47:16-04:00CPT Susan Black4736199<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is E pay for O1-O3 depending retirement points already earned. You can look up the pay scale online.Response by CPT Susan Black made Jun 19 at 2019 6:53 PM2019-06-19T18:53:52-04:002019-06-19T18:53:52-04:002019-06-13T16:02:44-04:00
