There should be a morning sick call, but you’ll be available at all times for emergencies like cracked skulls, sliced body parts, broken bones etc.etc. Pertty much a combination of battlefield corpsman, high school nurse and emecency room doctor. Practice your stitching. Most of the time you’ll be bored to tears I would think…You get to were a cool uniform with gold oak leafs!!
