I am early 30s, I took several years in between undergrad and med school. Which means I could end up being 7 years or even older than some people in my future residency class if I take the Germany spot.

I’m not sure if this is an issue or not.
In the long run, you’re going to be just fine. Enjoy life young, in Germany.

Which means you’ll be a lot more mature, which is a good thing in medicine. Won’t be as addicted to your phone and your attending might even respect you

You're going to end up banging nurses five+ years younger than you anyway.

What specialty are you eventually trying to do?
What is your active duty time commitment?
I’m assuming you did HPSP to pay for medical school and have 4 years active duty commitment. In that case I would do my time as a GMO and then separate for residency so you can do a civilian residency.
I’m AF HPSP and will start my active duty commitment after fellowship next year. Was told Germany might be one of the options for me, would be nice for a few years.

So if you are a Doggy Primary Care Doc what residency are you talking about? Are you going to try to upgrade to Internal Medicine, ICU specialist or surgery?
