Hello guys. I have some questions for Doc. Did you go to Fort Sam Houston for AIT? (I know combat medics get trained there, I'm just not sure if they all go there). Also, how well would you say your training prepared you for the field?

EDIT: I decided to add the reason why I asked this question.

I was in the National Guard and went to Fort Sam Houston in 2006. My mos was 91W, which was combat medic, not sure when it changed to 68W. I have depression, (I am aware that you cannot join with depression. I lied about it. I accidentally mentioned to my recruiter that I had taken anti-depressants, and then I lied some more saying it was when I was a child. Then I lied some more and said I wasn't able to find my medical records. Terrible idea folks!) anxiety, ADD, and horrible short term as well as long term memory. I only went to drill for about 6 months before going awol and was discharged in 2008. I asked this question because I often think back to my training experiences and many what ifs come to mind, like what if I had stayed?

I have been feeling extremely guilty about this for years. I'm sorry OP that I was a coward, but thankful that you weren't. This brings me to a new question: what is your honest opinion on people that have gone awol?

Thanks for your reply. I edited my question a little and I hope that if you have time you could answer my last queston. I also wanted to add that this is a wonderful project and I wish you guys well.

What does it say about me that I procrastinate to the point where it's almost too late for me to complete a task?
