GRIZ 3,365 Posted July 15, 2018 63 year old NJ surgeon sworn into Navy by his daughter. I guess he figures it's never too late to give back. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2018/07/14/ensign-commissions-her-63-year-old-father-as-a-navy-officer/ 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TokenEntry 293 Posted July 15, 2018 After reading some of the comments at the bottom of the article. Kinda amazing how some ignore the fact that this guy is a surgeon with very high credentials. Regards, TokenEntry 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted July 15, 2018 After 9/11 I remember a 60 year old orthopaedic surgeon being sworn into the Army. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyJim 14 Posted July 16, 2018 The Navy always needs smart, dedicated young ensigns and seamen. But the kind of experience and maturity this surgeon can bring to the Service is priceless. His willingness to serve and take what I imagine is an astronomical cut in pay is heartwarming. Well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
