    What is the pay scale for being a Physical Therapist in the Navy? Do you have to score high on the ASVAB to be a Physical Therapist?

    I am looking for programs in physical therapy and am interested in your program. I would like to receive information about whether I could do my first four years within the navy and then move on to a college setting or could I do my first four years in a college setting and then go on to finish within the navy? I am a high school senior interested in opportunities in this field. Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Kayla McCarty
