The Army is the life for me..........

About Me

Let's see......I am a 26 year old second lieutenant in the US Army, and Uncle Sam is paying for my education. Since that is the case, I guess I should thank all you taxpayers out there for putting me through medical school. I appreciate it! I've been in the Army for very nearly a full third of my life, and I can't imagine doing anything else besides taking care of soldiers. It has been very rewarding for me to serve, and I intend to continue for some time. I found out on December 12th that I have been accepted to a Urology residency program at UT San Antonio Health Science Center, which I will start on the 1st of July, 2008. Anyone who knows me will know that there is not much else to say about me that really defines my character. Oh, except maybe "gun nut". I have a deep love and appreciation for marksmanship and shooting sports in general. Let's just say that I own quite a bit of stock in the "Arsenal of Democracy". If you want to know any more about me, I guess you should just ask.........

Rotations, Vol. 3

I can't believe that 2006 is almost over.  It is even harder for me to believe that in a little less than a year and a half I'll be a doctor.  My, how the time flies!  Tell me, just how...
