A buddy of mine went from active army to AF reserve and felt the same way the first time he got released from a drill weekend while the sun was still up
It sucks that jobs like that are so horribly undermanned. My guess is people who do med stuff don't even think of military as an option
Keep working at it and I hope you get some good payoff from it sounds like you deserve it!
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!
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.
