This article explores the advantages, structure, and challenges of a military career in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS), contrasting it with traditional private practice paths. It outlines educational routes into military OMS, including scholarships and direct accession, and highlights the 12 military OMS residency programs that offer comprehensive training.

Testimonies from current and former military oral and maxillofacial surgeons reveal high preparedness for both academic and private sector careers, with many valuing the training, camaraderie, and purpose gained from military service.
