Where did everybody go?

I've always wanted to fly jets. I could become a flight surgeon and monitor vitals of a pilot on the aircraft itself, that would be cool.

But it's med school at the armed force's med school, then a year of armed forces residency, and then you go into whatever you want. After that you serve the forces for minimum of 7 years.

So you'd get to do what you'd like to do and they pay for it while you give time to your country? Good deal.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

If you forget about that whole minimum of 7 years in the service part, yeah pretty good :).

Thanks.

Miracle, a doctor has to find his first job somewhere. The 7 year commitment is actually pretty good job security.

You're right, it is. I never really liked the idea of joining the army and being stuck there for a X years, but then again, the army in my country kinda sucks ass anyway ;).

Did you all know that gasoline costs 12 cents a galon in Venezuela? Who wants to take a road trip with me in a really big truck?
