I think there has been a real expanded role for occupational therapy within the forces and they are working very hard to expand the numbers. We were very privileged to meet with the Surgeon General, Commodore Jung, and he was talking about putting an occupational therapist in his policy group now to make sure the services within the military are very smooth. In fact, there will be occupational therapy representation right across the country. They are actually expanding the role for the profession because they've seen the results and they see the fact that it helps not only with return to active duty but with the transition, where it occurs.
