I would think podiatry would definitely be on the list- you guys are the experts on foot and ankle fractures. The infantry, paratroopers, heck, all the groups of soldiers would benefit from your expertise. Plus you know what a 'cuboid' is. Thats my favorite name for any bone in the body, don't ask me why, I just think thats a cool word.

There are lots of fun anatomical/medical words. When I was growing up we had a model of a human skull. We named him Oss.

Plus you know what a 'cuboid' is.

OK, you gave me an idea:

Dear Uncle Sam:

At my age, weight, and general state of physical ineptitude, I am still ready to be involuntarily conscripted into the medical corps, though if I knew such was possible I never would have gotten married and had 3 kids.

By the way, what's a "Cuboid"? And I'm assuming you'll be paying off my $200,000 in student loans while I serve, of course, as well as supporting my wife and children (and inlaws, who I care for in the apartment over my office, and who will be homeless since I otherwise couldn't pay my office mortgage on a military salary.)

Always willing serve,

Sincerely,

Your loyal nephew,

Dr. Polycarp
