(All on top of ROTC/Corps duty???) Sheesh! You're definitely a busy little beaver!
Well, at A&M you are not required to sign a contract to serve, however you don't get paid by the goverment unless you contract. So basically I'm doing the ROTC program solely for the leadership experience. However if at anytime I change my mind I can sign a contract and become a second leuitenant in the armed forces. Pretty much I just do ALOT of pt (physical training), wear a uniform to class, and learn military, army, and airforce customs.


Nope! Don't miss it a bit, but I do miss the fact that I wasn't able to complete my degree.

Hmmmmm...things have sure changed! Even when < I > was studying vet med, the % of females weren't that high...and 30-35 years ago, women were still a miniscule percentage of the vet med student population.

(OOps! Had to review my data..... I forgot it's been literally 20 yrs since I was @ OSU. Pthththth )
OSU?!?! hissss.... (sorry, Aggie tradition). Things have changed ALOT, more women have moved into medical fields in recent years than expected. However, most surgeon positions are held by men. No, it's not a superiority complex, it's just that generally women tend to want more control of their hours so they can also have a family.

That will be an awesome specialty. I'm rooting for you. Too bad you'll be in TX...hee hee I have a retired race horse that would be able to use your skills.
I hope to stay in Tx... However the part of Tx I WANT to live in is incredibly expensive (hill country outside College Station and Austin). Most likely I'll end up moving to Kentucky for a few years to work for my great uncle who works with horses that make it into the Kentucky Derby occasionally. If all goes well I'll move back to Tx once I get experience and have some very solid connections.
