Job, lifestyle, and educational funding opportunities like those in the Army Vet Corps make me really want to commit-- to get them to want me for their Health Professionals Scholarship Program (HPSP). I've been on and off about the whole HPSP thing for the past few years-- friends and family bring up a lot of valid points against joining armed forces such as MST (military sexual trauma) and the potential of serving in active war zones. But I'm drawn to it once again. I just met with an AMEDD/HPSP recruiter and I'm talking to the veterinarian at Travis AFB to start shadowing to get a sense of what life *could* be like in a few years. A lot of the California and Hawaii veterinary job descriptions are really appealing. In many cases their vets get to treat an amazing mix of animals. I really think the Vet Corps is looking for the best veterinarians for their excellent positions that make them even better veterinarians with the leadership expected and types of animals they may treat- horses, marine mammals, military working dogs, and pets of service member's families. To top it off, bases have rock climbing walls, outdoor rec programs, fitness centers, preschool and daycare.
