To be applied toward licensure, the applicant must be a member of which groups?

• A. All of the above
• B. US Armed Forces
• C. State National Guard
• D. US Reserves

Answer: (A)

Military service can count toward licensure, with boards often recognizing time in service or military training as credit toward the requirements for licensure. The groups listed—the US Armed Forces, the State National Guard, and the US Reserves—are all eligible sources of that credit. Because membership in any one of these groups can be counted toward licensure, the option reflecting all of the above is the correct choice. In practice, a pharmacist applicant who is serving or has served in any of these branches may receive targeted credit or expedited consideration while still meeting the board’s other licensure requirements.
