My husband is seriously considering asking for a new assignment for our final two years in the Air Force. The situation with one of the (poorly trained) doctors in his clinic has not gone away, and the Air Force higher ups are not going to do anything proactively about this person. Travis does not want to be around when the s*** hits the fan (this doc has had several close calls already) because he is afraid that he might get dragged into it.
Not to mention that we hate it here.
We were already planning to go to the Armed Forces District meeting of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology -- it's in Hawaii, of course we would go! But now we're glad we planned to go because that is where the whole assignment process gets started. We are hoping that being two years out of residency, in a position where we don't HAVE to move, will give us a little more clout.....some background: we have learned that we had our first choice assignment out of residency, until a doc (who used to be here, strangely enough) that was a year out of residency let it be known that she wanted the assignment that we had. She got it and we ended up here. She had seniority over my husband only because she had been out of residency for a year -- she did a civilian residency. So we are hoping to work the system in our favor this time.
We go to Hawaii at the end of October and we are trying to get our preferences in order before then.....any thoughts?
