Lightbulb Be a Doctor

Not a doctor, but about as close to it as I am gonna get (it seems) now that I am considered "old and crusty"

If you have the inclination and the ability to be physician...be a physician. Somehow, someway...if you want to be a doctor, then go and be one now-not later.

Taking nothing away from Special Forces or your potential there...but get the doctor thing finished, do your residency in Emergency Medicine and a follow on Sports Medicine Fellowship. Stay in good shape and keep out of trouble. Your chances will be maximized to participate in one of the many Special Operations opportunities for physicians.

Good luck-

Eagle

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
