    Thanks! Still a decent bit left of actual nursing school, but considering nursing together with all the other crap leading up to it like prereqs, it’s definitely gotten to that light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel phase. Winter break right now though, woot!

    My guess is people who do med stuff don’t even think of military as an option

    I definitely didn’t. Got the call from my recruiter saying I was going to be a surgical tech, and my response was pretty much “Cool! …what the fuck is a surgical tech?”. Zero medical background before all that. I think enlisted medical is mostly folks like me who go in knowing nothing and trained from the ground up.
