I don’t think he was a REMF, I don’t think he ever served, did he?
Yeah, he was a USAF flight surgeon for two or three years, then some time in the reserves.
That's pretty far from the pointy end of the spear.
Yep he “served”:
Paul earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from Duke University’s School of Medicine in 1961, and completed his medical internship at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh.[12][13] Paul served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force from 1963 to 1965 and then in the United States Air National Guard from 1965 to 1968. Paul and his wife then relocated to Texas, where he began a private practice in obstetrics and gynecology.[13]

“Flight Sugeon” in the “Guard” (means he is/was a Uber-REMF!).
Yes, Laz, he served his obligatory time, as the government helped him through medical school.
