[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1004285, member: 16552"] Jo, I haven't voted yet, either, because I don't have a strong opinion yet. However, I felt the need to inject a somewhat dissenting opinion from the prevailing ones thus far and some thoughts I haven't seen expressed yet. - while it's true that some of the best opportunities in the military are somewhat political, don't anyone think for one second that it's not the same way in the private sector. A big chunk of the medical research dollars are still gov't controlled and it's still a very political environment just in a MUCH more PC (and nefarious) way. -Military service isn't exactly the same as the vast civilian gov't mess. We need a standing military with the best of everything out there. I would view his time in the Military as a service to his country. A pretty noble sacrifice. Oh, and of course Fort Detrick/USAMRIID does some pretty important stuff, too. I guess the best advice that I come up with so far is to research the options some more. Medical research is an amazing field with so many different opportunities, I think before a decision could be made, I would want to know more details about all of the options. If the Army wants him, it likely many others will too. [/QUOTE]
