COL Farr! Herr Doktor, thanks for all of the lovely ways you reinforced training during my reclass in 85, but you were not very far removed from teams at that point (only a CPT) - and Knew what we needed. I'm still kind of upset about the "Licorice Dx".
Do you have a TDI yet, or are you still driving the old gasser VWs?

91B4S / 18D "conversions"
Back in the 70's, certain States did allow SF medics to sit for that State's nursing licenses. 4 of my surviving Ft. Sam classmates did exactly that and progressed (under their own power) to an M.D. Those of you who attended last year's SOMA convention in Tampa heard the keynote speaker, Richard Carmona, M.D., the U.S. Surgeon General whose story you can read on the Surgeon General website. 91B4S to RN to MD. We thought he had the record for furthest advancement (E-5 to Admiral) but his boss had him beat by one grade.
In addition, many SF medics were selected for PA training by individual physicians. It must be noted that time have changed and licensing is far more controlled these days. The dramatic television shows all had a show in which a young former medic working as a PA is mistakenly accused of various crimes by nurses ( "Cut the patient's throat" v. performing a crico-thyroid puncture was a common one. - anyone remember "med lab" @ Ft. Sam?) Case resolved and everyone lives happily ever after. `
As far as egalitarianism within the team / Group I can remember one young Captain who tried to welcome a Colonel to his camp by saying "Hi, I'm (name)" and extending his hand for a handshake. That was his last time that he tried that.
After getting my "S" suffix and reporting to my team, I was asked if I knew how to play penochle and told to come back when I had learned. I never called my team SMAJ anything but SMAJ. Officers all had the same first name: Sir.

Welcome "Doc". We have a redneck SF vetting process to ensure those that post are in fact SF'ers (due to the large number of wannabes  ).
If you would be so kind to send any " administrator" a PM with name and dates of service we'll vet you!
Welcome to the board.
