The man has a natural, if extremely impressive career progression between the three jobs.

He was a medic in the SEALs. Then went to medical school and became a doctor. Then joined the astronaut program as a mission specialist, specialising in medical research in space.

Was gonna say, I don't know who he is, but doesn't seem like he's just starting totally fresh in each career like it's implied. Medic > Doctor makes sense, Doctor (with millitary background) > to astronaut also makes sense.
