No its really not crazy , I dont think this will help you but just for
info ..........I'm 38 married with 2 kids , at 20 I did not have the
money or resources to pursue being a doctor , at 25 life
happened .............., now I have the resources and time ( I still
have to figure out the details on the time part......) to do that I
must accept this as a big challenge for me , I am going to go to a
caribbean school , which is incidently cheaper and easier to get into
for us old folks .....lol, but why there is basically becouse its a
bit cheaper as I said and the weather agrees with me , I actually dont
want to become a doctor for the practice or making a living, I am
doing fine , but actually for the achievement and to help anyone that
I could later in life , so my Military friend I say you challange
yourself yet once again in your life and go for it , if you have been
a career officer in the armed forces than you probably have seen some
tough times all along , this aint going to be easy but nothing that
you cant handle , I wish you all the best
