					<description>I have worked for doctors for the last 25 years . . . not very many as admirable as Dr. Krissoff, but a couple . . . I am aware of one orthopod in my community who is on his second tour for the National Guard now . . . they give up a lot to serve our country with their God-given skills - healing hands!  God Bless doctors who serve.</description>

					<description>Not to minimize this awesome 'career' move by the good Dr. but, Damn,  I tried to talk the USMC recruiter to apply for a waiver for my sorry ass a few years ago and all he did was look at me kind of funny like.  I can more than meet the minimal requirements for re-entry into the Marine Corps except for the age thing bullshit..  I'm a tad older than the Dr.   :smile: 

God Bless Doc.  Why to go...   :beer:  :beer:</description>
