It is a small surgical asset that is capable of rapid deployment and far forward capability.

I mean, total perm disability gets real boring after 10 yrs of it, ya know?.We shut my license off because of the whole disability thing...I actually trained under a Navy residency grad in OR, plus, as an extern, before my doctorate, I trained under a USPHS O-6 for awhile, which was why I'd wanted to go USPHS after I'd gotten done...needless.to say,.all that effort was for zip, obviously, which was especially why the thread here caught my eye...I've wanted to.volunteer with USCG Aux, as they do use clinical.volunteers, if I could ever manage to find a way to get approved for.it...ya thinned earned degrees in engineering, physics,.math, and biosciences, with 11 yrs of engineering exoerience, plus a whole.slew.ofmtime.trying to get exposed.to bioengineering along the way might perhaps be of use to anyone, perchance? I've been trying to volunteer to just help with clinical research at a VA hospital near us,.I've had to literally.pull teeth to.even be remotely.listened to, so, any suggestions would most definitely be like as.in seriously mucho appreciated, so far as possible,.for real,.ya know? We have our existence, my wife and i, bills.paid, roof over head, food in stomachs, gas in cars...it's just be nice to, just once, actually get to do what I'd trained to do, even if only for a short while, even as a volunteer, if any of you might possibly have any notions...and yeah, I know that's a really.odd.story,.obviously...it also happens to be 100% true...we.lived through it, she and i, and quite frankly, most days neither she nor I can believe.it.all actually happened, ya know? I'd really be most grateful for any ideas...I'd wanted pure clinical research, though at this point, even if I could just be of volunteer clinical use, even that'd be genuinely welcome, guys...I've tried the VA Physician Ambassador Program (PAP), the VA without compensation (WOC) R&D program, thus far, zero, zip, nada, goose egg...so, any ideas all of you might have, would be most seriously welcome, for real, OK? I've got recommendations galore, endorsements out the wazoo, degrees and diplomas out the yin yang, thus far, they've bought me squat in terms of getting anywhere to be of use, and God knows, guys, I've asked, I've tried...so, any ideas, anybody, perchance?

Also, separately, purely out of curiosity, I'd seen you'd listed pararescue as a category for this thread...had you thought of trying to go in that direction yourself? I'd just wondered, as your whole thread really did interest me, for the reasons I'd explained...I'd be most eager to hear more, contour ever care to elaborate at all...and honestly, I really was looking at YouTube videos on the whole topic, so I'd figured to also look on here, that's when I'd seen what you'd asked, I'd stumbled.across the whole topic on YouTube and was poring over a few videos, when I'd had the brilliant notion ofnalsomlooking on here as well....
