If I want to do research in virology for the military, must I have any prior military experience?

I wish to conduct research in virology and biological warfare for the U.S. Military. I plan on going to a 4-year college and then medical school. Is it possible to then enlist as an officer and go right to research?

difficult if not impossible. not too much research is done by military personnel period. Most of it is done by Civilian contractors. if you accept a commission, you will be expected to work in the hospitals treating patients first.

I always went to the medical center and get denoted blood for testing, and many time that I was used my blood to be a comparison test
Reply:Yes. It is possible to receive a direct commission after completion of Medical School. Or you can complete 12 weeks of OCS. Or you could go into ROTC and get some financial help with medical school. Or you could be a civilian researcher and get paid a lot more.
