Military Experiences
Oct 1982 - Nov 1986
NCOIC
NCOIC of the Emergency Department. Doing all that shit to save the lives of stupid soldiers and unlucky ones, pushy Dependant Wives who were wearing their husbands rank, and sick kids and kids with the sniffles who Dad told Mom to take to the ER along with all the other curtain climbers in the family so he could watch a taped delayed NFL game on AFN. Dealt with arrogant Medical Corps Officers, all of whom thought they ran the ER. And had some fantastic people working for and with me to take care of all that (and holding me back when necessary, to keep me from decking any of the obnoxious "customers" we had.)
