I would like to solicit opinions of those in this forum who have left the Armed Forces regarding the importance of their experience used in justifying their "avoid military medicine if possible" mission.
Your experience applies most relevantly to back when you were active. There seems to be an attitude that this experience is unique in providing the young guns among us with exclusive wisdom for use in making decisions in regards to military medicine. By exclusive, I mean that information that a prospect may draw from current physicians, ancillary medical services, past personal, non-medical military experience, etc. is insufficient in comparison to the richness of experience that you claim.
As time passes though, do you believe that your past experience becomes more or less relevant to those seeking advice? For, after all, does this experience account for any dynamism that occurs between your seperation date and now/into the future?
Please do not consider this a dismissal of the advice you have offered thus far; I only seek to for you to shine some light on its temporal context.
