    I hope to start physical therapy school next fall. I was wondering what physical therapy job openings they have in the US military? As of now I only see positions within the Navy. What are the requirements to get in? Will the military help pay off loans for physical therapy school?

    Thanks for the info!

    You can also be a physical therapist in the army. And the military doesn’t pay off loans or debt they only pay for college after you have completed 4 years of service, the only exception would be if you are In an ROTC program at a college.
