Major Eric Walter, PT, DPT, didn't initially set-out to be a military PT. But today that's exactly what he is: A physical therapist in the United States Air Force.

In a conversation from his current station in South Korea, Eric talks about how he decided to become a physical therapist in the military, what his day-to-day is like, and why serving as a military PT is different than in the civilian world.
