What kind of information do you want? There is so much here. Hard to send you in a direction not knowing just what you want. Is she wanting to go in as a Officer or Enlisted?

Hello Denise,
To my understanding is that she need her a Bachelor's Degree in order to go in as an Officer...is that information correct??. She would like to be an Officer because she would like to become a dentist. Any information that you can offer her since we are still at the recruiting portion will be helpful.

You need to tell the recruiter that she beleives she meets the "Advanced Paygrade Program". In other words, bring her transcripts.
030702. CRITERIA FOR ADVANCED PAYGRADE
a. College Credits
(1) Criteria. Persons who have satisfactorily completed 24 semester hours or 36
quarter hours of college credits may be enlisted in paygrade E2. Applicants who have
satisfactorily completed 48 semester hours or 72 quarter hours of college credits may
be enlisted in paygrade E3. College credits earned via classroom, online, or distant
learning must be from a U.S. community college, college, or university accredited
for postsecondary education and listed in the Accredited Institutions of Post
Secondary Education published by the American Council on Education. Remedial
courses are NOT authorized for use in determining whether an applicant qualifies
for Advanced Paygrade.
(2) Verifying Eligibility. Either official transcripts or student copy transcripts may
be used to verify advanced paygrade eligibility providing there is no evidence of any
transcript tampering. A degree issued by an institution listed in the Education Directory
of Accredited Institutions (such as Associate, Bachelor, etc.) may be used to verify
completion of the required credit hours. If the applicant is enlisted as a HSDG based on
satisfactory completion of 15 semester/22 quarter hours, the hours cannot also be
applied to advanced paygrade.

If you google Navy Medical Officer Programs (or any combination of these keywords - you'll find many sites). Be sure to talk to a recruiter who is trained to work with officer candidates.
