I am applying for Army*HPSP and have passed my physical and received a waiver for my asthma.**I was wondering if there are any other military docs out there who do have asthma*and can comment on how*their asthma was when on deployments.**After careful research and personal reflection, this is something I want to do.* I*did a hospital tour at BAMC and for me helping out the soldiers is something I*feel compelled and want to do.*I have to admit it was a very humbling experience.*I understand soldier first and doctor second.*I also*understand and expect military medicine to have its problems.**The money has absolutely no bearing on my situation. However, my only reservation*is how it is for asthmatics when deployed.* My asthma is mild and nothing severe, but I have no idea what it would be like out in the sandbox if deployed.* ***
