I am looking at either Army or Air Force. I am an ASCP licensed Medical Laboratory Technologist and got my bachelors degree in Medical Technology. Basically I am the person that runs all the blood, urine, tissue, microbiology, etc. tests on people. I am working in a civilian hospital right now but not planning to stay at this job and the idea of being a military officer is really growing on me. I am 36 (a little on the older side) but other than that, I'm single (I have a girlfriend but never been married), no kids, excellent health, and never had any legal, substance abuse, or credit issues. Who do you think would have the best program/opportunities for this medical job?
