My brother, conservative fellow-in-arms has just successfully completed his final day in a prestigious medical school in the Midwest. As a graduate of the Naval Academy and patriot, he has opted to embark on flight surgeon-training following his internship at Bethesda. He is too humble to post this himself, so consider your compliments forwarded to him, since I will post him the entire mailbox.

Go Navy, Beat Army

[Plutarch]

Good move if he is single. The flight suit is a babe magnet. Does he get a G-1 leather jacket?

[Fred Mertz]

Go Army! Beat Navy!

[SAMWolf]

Congrats to your brother and thanks for serving.

Congratulations to your brother. My husband is also an M.D. as well as a graduate of USNA, class of '58.

As a former (USAF) flight surgeon, he has my best wishes. Always wanted to know what it felt like to get launched off a cat, although I was glad to pass on the carrier landing. Looked too much like trying to catch an egg on a plate while riding a unicycle on a bumpy road.

[Ken H]

Congratulations and good luck in your training.

Sounds like you're one who likes a challenge!

[Flightdeck]

Just to rub it in, he blocked a punt and returned it for the win against Army in the sprint football game his senior year at the Academy. GO NAVY!

[Flightdeck]

Wow. I hope my marriage is as successful as yours.
Cheers

Hell, I've had Xena's Guy around for damn near seven years, and Xena's Mom tried to set me up with this guy around Christmas.

Like I wasn't feeling inferior enough already... he's a football hero too!

Enjoy P-cola. Enjoy the honor of wearing a Navy flight suit. Enjoy the career--5 or 25 years. Not much of it is easy, but most is satisfying, on reflection.

Tell him Congrats and thanks for his service.

[Flightdeck]

He'll hear it from you, thanks.

[dwills]

you guys rock!

[onyx]

Wow. I hope my marriage is as successful as yours. Cheers

I am a decade younger --- that has helped considerably. Like another poster noted, flightsuits are a magnet for women, and women always fall in love with their doctors. Double trouble. :)

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks to you and him for your service.

[texasflower]

Great big congratulations to your brother!

This is what my daughter has planned for her life.

[Skwidd]

Yep, just what we need...another officer. =)

(Just kidding. Congrats!)

First, congratulations to your bro. Naval Academy AND med school - pretty outrageous. I can't imagine.
Second - what the heck is a flight surgeon - operate on sick aircraft? OR's in the air? MASH-like units? Just curious.
Third - guy-based derision - yea, like most battlefield surgery won't be remote-controlled in the near future. He'll be linking up from his living room and moving the knife with a nintendo controller - lazy bas---d.
