I’ve been getting brochures in the mail about residency programs, and one of them was from the U.S. Navy. The brochure talks about doing research and benefits and things like that. I’m burned out on research. In the brochure are also lovely pictures of sailboats. Now, as a resident, you are worked like a dog, I don’t care where you are — civilian or government hospitals — so the idea of sailing is ludicrous to imagine. Nevertheless, the pictures intrigue me. Plus, I think it’d be nice to serve my country too. If anyone’s seen “Black Hawk Down”, you’ll know what I mean.

Ahhhhhh…..The idea of the Armed Forces scare me…I’m not the only guy in my family and I’m almost 18. That’s not cool. Every other guy I know, either they’re an only child, or they’re the only guy. If we’re all drafted, they get a nice desk job, I get to be blown up. I want a nice desk job. Anyway, that basically had nothing to do with what you said. If you joined the Navy…(freaky vision of you in a naval uniform). Whoa. Anyway, have fun figuring out where you want your residency. Oh, can you tell I might have told a few people about your Xanga? Sorry, in case you didn’t want me to. You have to specify these things.

I wouldn’t worry about it, Daniel. They have a lot of well-trained people in the Armed Forces already. Drafted soldiers are not good soldiers.
