Another Chapter

"You have completed all requirements to receive retired pay at age 60 under the provisions of references (a) and (b)."

That's how the letter started that I received yesterday. Hard to believe that it's been that long since I started medical school under the Health Profession Scholarship Program with the United States Navy.

They were some of the best years of my medical career. There is a certain camaraderie that one gains when you're in the same "canoe club." To all of my doctor, nurse, and corpsman colleagues before and to those who still serve, thank you.
