Hello Tumblr Family,

It is I H&H back from a very long hiatus. If you have been following I last left you right after I completed the NAVLE and started my job hunt. It has been quite the roller coaster since graduating veterinary school. 

Following veterinary school, I moved to the east coast and completed a rotating internship in equine medicine and surgery. Due to poor job prospects and limited income, I switched over to the dark side. That is right, I began small animal private practice. 

I enjoyed the pace of small animal medicine and the cases I was seeing, but once again I wanted more out of my job and my life. After 3 years of practice, I then sought out an Army recruiter and commissioned shortly after as an officer in the Army Veterinary Corps.  

I have since been getting settled into the Army way of things and so far have greatly enjoyed my experience! While I was going through the process I noticed the lack of information on joining the Army, especially joining as a direct commission (joining after being in practice instead of directly out of school)

I hope to continue to provide information on the veterinary field, veterinary admission processes, but I also hope to help anyone out there that might have even the slightest interest in the Army Veterinary Corps. 

One thing I have learned so far in my short veterinary career is there is no one way on how to do anything. 

Best Wishes and Happy New Year!
