   SKling replied to Bforesman's topic in Government

   There are some opportunities to work in that kind of environment but they are very limited and not often. not as much as a navy seal would be trained but you are more of a medical support for the teams. I didn't get much detail on the deployment that...

   Does anyone have any insight on when we can get our CAC card. I am being told by the processor and recruiter that I cant do it till I get to ODS, but the ODS website highly recommends getting it prior to coming.... Any info would help!
