Welcome,
I went to the Physician Assistant at the Univerity of Florida after 4 years as a medic in the Army. I'm ready to seperate from active duty soon. I was stationed at Tinker and still hold my OK license. You have a lot on your plate, I hope we hear from you from time to time at GT.
BTW, I have 2 1st gen, 1 2nd Gen and 1 3rd Gen mod 17, I have sent each one back to Symrna for a free refit. Good Luck and God Bless.
