I just have to respond...my lower class status compels me to. The thing which bothers me most about your post is the assumption that you speak for everyone. You question & denegrate my military service and then come to the conclusion, for everyone no less, that you don't want to hear about my experience...unless it can benefit you. Interesting...
Then the "land line" and "Rambo" comment. Here's a little bit of experience you don't want to hear about, I work for the miltary now as a civilian and work along side Army & Navy physicians & scientist....a stone's throw from USUHS, NIH, WRAMC, NNMC....but that experience doesn't matter. Perhaps the fact I know how business is conducted in the military and how your outdated "land line" is viewed but again, there's that experience. In regard to the Rambo comment, this just demonstrates your lack of maturity. I never implied anything about combat. If you'd like I can post some stories about what it's like but you've no doubt read a book and have all the answers on what combat is, isn't, and should be. Besides you've already said that "we" don't want to hear about it.
Make the military what you want but if you can't handle my "caustic" personality how on earth are you going to deal with the Army's senior enlisted who chides you the same. Let me guess....your rank will put them in line. You have ZERO control on who the Army surrounds you with. So what will you do then? Rhetorial question. I don't want to read your mental masturbation on what you think life in the military will be so spare me.
You are going to have a very rough time in the military. You have zero clue of what I've done and don't care to know. That's fine. All those "we" you posted about have my PM box full asking for advice so they don't become the kind of physician you seemed destined for...not a compliment.
See they have learned what you refuse...."learn from the experienced not the learned". Feel free to spell check my post because that is all you have experience with. BTW, please do the same to those you serve with who rub you the wrong way. It pays off handsomely. I'd love to be around when you wakeup and find yourself smack dab in the middle of my fellow neanderthals.
Last few points and I'm back to my cave:
1. Why not use your new age digital skills & merely ignore my posts?
2. What about the surgery thread that 3peas started? Still nothing there either.....interesting..
AubreyMartin,
I never ever claimed to be a nice guy. I'm one of the biggest dinguses you'll ever have the displeasure (is that a word kedhegard? did I spell it correctly?) of potentially meeting. The thing is Aubrey...I'm your kind of dingus.
You have given LOTS of usefull opinions. And I understood your points on this board even though you where a bit gruff. I value your opinion and you are one of the few on this board with first hand miltary med experience, so even if you were a complete dingus, your opinion would be valued.
