Evidently as long as it’s not a Muslim woman that you’re ogling, ‘it’s all good.’
In WW2 you could simply draft an intern or a resident into the army. No need to worry about rank as long as he was an officer. In a volunteer force you need to attract doctors. I knew a guy that enliste in the USAF so that he’d get medical school paid for. Instant O-2. He could barely wear the uniform correctly. On graduation, automatic promotion to captain. I imagine that major is pretty much automatic to induce a re-up.
Perhaps we can arrange for Helen Thomas to be there for his first interview?

My first thought...
Helen’s face is the first thing he sees...
:)
Can you enlarge that and delivery it to his room ???
Put the words “Helen and her 71 identical sisters are waiting for you” on it..
Tape it on the ceiling where he has to see it as he lies there...
Just my two cents.
I doubt he went to the strip club to put in an order for his 70 virgins. Unless he’s very stupid.
The USN used to distinguish between “Line Officers” and special officers (like doctors and JAG officer/lawyers) by substituting an oak leave in place of the more familiar star above the cuff band on the uniform sleeve or the shoulder board.
I’m not sure if this is still widely done. There are some officers, like academy grads, who still wear line officer insignia after becoming lawyers or physicians.
Warrants might work but you’d have to expand the ranks so that you’d have a pay grade equivalent to full-colonel/O-6. Right now a CW-4 is paid an equivalent of a Major/O-4, if I’m not mistaken. I think the Marines have a CW-5...
In any case, you’re not going to have a doctor issuing orders in a tactical situation.
