I am a 2nd doctor of physical therapy student graduating soon. I am considering direct commission, but which branch is best & what do I ask?

Might as well go into a comic book store and ask, "Who's the greatest superhero?"

You'll get a lot of answers to your question, but there isn't really a best answer apart from; which branch is best for you? For your field I would guess the best choices would be the Army or Navy. The Army is physically demanding and there is a large need for physical therapy practitioners. Same with the Navy since they provide medical support for the Marine Corps.

**2nd year DPT student, sorry for the typo everyone. I'm also interested in the research side of things since I work with a lot of virtual reality equipment with patients.
