Yes, and the U.S. Navy along with every other Military branch is made up of all ethnicities.

My cousin is also in the US navy.

Nassiri is an Iranian last name, he also looks Iranian.

j9901106: Not all liberals are anti-military. Actually, as a liberal, I don't know many that are. I'm a liberal atheist who firmly supports my country, has an Aunt who is Navy Chief and an Uncle (her hubby) who is a Navy SEAL. My uncle was even trained in the Navy not only as a SEAL, but also as a surgeon.

Liberals also have loved ones in the military, and openly serve in the military.

I aspire to be an Navy physician just like he is :3

Dr. Nassiri is my new role model. I aspire to this career someday...

@BaskinLove Your uncle is probably a SEAL medic, not a surgeon. The SEAL Teams send some of their members to the Army 18 Delta SOCM course at Fort Bragg. It's a six month program that qualifies them in the highly specialized skills of combat medicine for special operations personnel. After the six month course, they are qualified as SEAL IDC (independent duty corpsman). They learn rudimentary surgery, but nothing compared to an M.D. surgeon. They're completely different skill sets.

@myassin2009 No everyone who signs up gets the same benefits.

[myassin2009]

@LordVader89 I heard the scholarship was competitive and only a few applicants receive it. Is that true?

[LordVader89]

@myassin2009 Yep they pay for housing, tution, books, etc. Plus you get a generous stipend too. And you can join anytime but I thin you have to join by your 2nd or 3rd year of med school I'm not sure though. And you can serve at a military hospital for your residency yes. I don't think they train you in fighting.

[myassin2009]

@LordVader89 Is the tuition full ride? And when do you join? After you complete med school? And will working with them count as your residency? And do they train you in fighting?

[LordVader89]

You can't ask for a better deal. The military pays for your med school education including housing, books, as well as a stipend. And you'll be safe from any shooting since you'll most likely be working at a base. The only thing is that they can ship you anywhere they want you to during your duration.
