It’s all largely autobiographical, so you’d have to go back to the author’s reasons for enlisting. He enlisted fairly late (1942), and only after the owner of the practice he worked for returned from the war. He probably felt that the practice could get by with the owner and that it was his turn to help the war effort.

Maybe they both thought it would look bad if the vet’s was well staffed and neither of them were currently enlisted.

(None of this is based on the contents of the books. It’s been 40 years since I read them.)

Yeah, the author only enlisted once the practice was taken care of. My grandfather was a pharmacist and tried to enlist a couple of times and got turned down each time because he was needed where he was. Only once a woman had finished training and could take his position, he was allowed to enlist in late 1941, and even then he was still working as a pharmacist, just in the military. All professions like that were highly regulated and controlled because it was all part of the war effort!
