Army Wives, Season 6

Dr. Blake Hanson:
So why did you enlist, Gabriel?

Tanya:
Usual. College benefits, transportable skill, serve my country. You?

Hanson:
Pay off my med school loans.

Tanya:
Oh.

Hanson:
Hey, I'm not that cold. I wanted to be a pediatrician.

Tanya:
Really?

Hanson:
My older brother died of leukemia when I was twelve. I always wanted to do something for him. Doesn't pay the bills though. When I was doing my residency I realized that I was going to be in debt until my 40's if I didn't do something. The Army offered me a good deal. I give them ten years, they pay off the loans. The only catch was, they needed ER physicians at the time, not pediatricians.

Tanya:
You can always make the switch when your contract's up.

Hanson:
Yeah, that's six years from now.

Tanya:
It's your dream.
