Re: Good news for JK and family
On a slightly related note,
I think the first gun thing I'm going to do is order a Garand from the CMP once I have the funds. There's something extra freedomy about having a firearm delivered to your door via mail, and I can't think of any other rifle that says "FREEDOM!" better than an M1.

Outstanding!!! Congrats on your new path and we wish you success in your new path!!

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Congrats! My niece is doing a similar thing here, and is leaning towards surgery as her specialty, because there's less (and I quote) "wiping other people's asses" with that one.

Bravo! Update us often, please.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Re: Good news for JK and family *update* Foiled by economics
Just wanted to post an update. Unfortunately it looks like we're staying in NY a little while longer. There's a very long (and frankly, a little infuriating) story behind it (Mostly, marital stubbornness). The bottom line is that the price difference between in-state tuition in NY and out of state tuition in NH is about 90% ($8500 for the degree vs 16,500). My GI bill was exhausted and my prior bachelors means that my only financial aid will be loans. Since I intend to continue to advanced level provider, the less debt I can manage to accrue in the earlier parts of this, the better we'll be off long term, even if it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I just can't justify spending twice as much (and accruing twice as much debt) for the same qualification. We can still leave at the end....

Re: Good news for JK and family
There are a lot of stories out there about avoiding additional education debt even for good paying jobs.
I've dated a nurse or two and the one doing the general nursing in a hospital was close to burn out. She found someone to marry and support her.
Even Doctors are looking for 9 to 5 jobs these days.
