Community Hospital,

Last time I looked, the SAS didn't have NPs. He was serving on Active duty
in the SAS. One interesting part of British system is that if there is not
an appropriate slot in the unit officers and senior enlisted will opt to
take lower ranking positions in elite units. It would help to be better
educated about the military before you call something inappropriate or
degrading. Instead salute those who chose to serve and volunteered to go
into harms way.
