I didn't mean to imply that a job was a fixall. I suspect that there are some that cannot be fixed they are so damaged. It was just a piece of normalcy that might help.
I have a couple of MD friends that were Reservists. The NROTC put them thru UW. They were activated from civilian life during the Viet Nam fracas. NO alternative, saddle up. That's the way it oughta be.
