![]() ![]() Seriously, go as far as you can and want. :) Last I saw the SOST guys used just CRNAs and that's a pretty cool gig. As a medic I just don't know if I could do that on principle. It's what all the cool kids do.Īlthough in retrospect I kinda wish I would have been a CRNA but that means being a nurse. Go to the Guard, get all you can out of the Army, get your paramedic, and then get your PA. If you want to go nurse or doctor your path may be different. I’m on a flight medic contract and in civilian paramedic school. In terms of follow on training that depends on your goal. It ends with a 3-4 days field exercise where you go on a bunch of missions and stay in a squad bay and eat shitty field chow. You also test out of a bunch of skills for 68W to include sternal IO, IV, TQ, bandages, wound packing, cric, and I think that’s it. Your infantry experience will be huge here and you’ll definitely be one of the guys people turn to because we’re all POGs playing grunt except for the few medics. You’ll go on mock missions and there will be a few designated medics. Phase 3 is like the running phase of trauma medicine. A lot of stuff but just the surface, you’ll be fine. So like each body system, CBRN, environment stuff, etc. Phase 2 is like crawling/walking through trauma medicine as well as a ton of PowerPoints and a handful of easy multiple choice tests on a lot of medical stuff. About half of the class failed out during phase 1 because that’s a ridiculous timeline to learn EMT. ![]() I skipped the first 3 weeks because I was already a nationally registered EMT. I got out of active duty marines in 2020 and then went to an MOS-T course for 68W in 2021. ![]()
