Things I've learned so far in the military

(in no particular order)
1. They are not as strict with your uniform or the rules as they were during training
2. 10 minute school physicals are a part of daily life
3. Introducing a new doc to the military is getting them to do 30 school physicals on a Saturday afternoon.
4. F15's and F22's make a lot of noise when taking off
5. Ophthalmoscopes do not exist in every patient room let alone on a whole entire hospital floor (don't even think about asking for one b/c they don't know what they are)
6. Residents question your reason for admission (possible NAT??? with head bleed??)
7. It is very easy to get ready in the morning when all you do is put on a uniform and put your hair in a bun
8. 730 is really early to have to be at work everyday.
9. 430 is an excellent time to be done in the afternoon
10. Having mandatory workouts 3 days a week is awesome (for me)
11. Never standing in your closet in the morning trying to figure out what to wear is excellent
12. Tricare allows people to book appts if their symptom has been going on for 2 hours or gone after a day (vomiting x1 yesterday-now gone and acting normally)
13. Tricare pays for Tylenol, Motrin, Eucerin, and a slew of other over the counter things
14. Saluting is a part of everyday life - I get saluted every time I come onto base
15. Everyone is really nice to you b/c they all have been separated from their families
