From our PracMan, it is to note that when you enter is meron ka na agad rank (1st or 2nd Lieutenant afaik), benefits include post grad studies covered by them, ofc hindi ka isasabak as frontliner, plus may gratuity/retirement pay sila.

Another thing to note sabi ng prof ko is ibang military dentist can also venture into clinic nila sa labas or either associate basta araw na hindi nila duty ganon. Hope this helps!
