I'm with you. No traction, no updates...a keyboard commando at best.

I always loved the argument of 18 years old who claimed, "I should be able to drink since I can fight for my country."

Well, let's not take credit for something you haven't accomplished yet.

(Alcohol and the age of drinking not withstanding of course.)

There is quite a bit of difference between non-US BA and a certification and being able to practice a medical physician in the US. But you say "I have been told that in order to be able to work as a doctor in the USA i have to passed several test before".

Despite some early issues with allergies, I was able to enlist with USAF and eventually ended up with a full-time job in the ANG.

I spent a year in Vietnam and aside from a few bullet holes through my wing, it all worked out OK.

I highly recommend the USAF and Air National Guard if you plan to enter military service.

When I was in the army, '68-'71, I had a CO who had been navy, but had ETS'ed, and joined the army as a warrant officer, since it was easier and quicker to make rank in the army. I considered doing 20 in the army, 20 more in some kind of federal job, and retiring at 58 totally set, but at that time re-upping was only for losers. As it is, I am still workin' for the man. If you like the military life, go for it.
