    Hey, kind of off topic here, but I just found out today that I have latent TB. I'll be meeting with a doctor soon to discuss treatment. Would I still be able to serve in the military? I read a thread...

    Chuckleface replied to Chuckleface's topic in Government, Military

    After thinking about what you said Neats, I think you may be right. I think I'm getting too caught up in the glamor of being in the military or grandstanding a title as you put it. I don't know. I...

    Have Nurse, I'm sorry if it sounded like I was asking which branch was better than the others, that's not what I meant at all. They all have very well qualified nurses and doctors, but each branch...

    Thanks for chiming in jfractian. I have looked into the Air Force a little bit, but had mostly written them off because of the chair force jokes. Foolish assumption though, you people do some really...

    Thanks for the comments. Sounds like the Army would be my best bet. Thankfully my school recently partnered with another school to provide ROTC, so I think I'll look into
