[QUOTE="Undead, post: 72845800, member: 410761"] Take this with a grain of salt-- but regarding Navy Corpsman vs. Combat Medic , I would say Army Combat Medic is tough enough. Because I have heard (this may have been exaggeration though--which is why I say take with a grain of salt) becoming a Navy Corpsman is about as tough as becoming a Marine--so if you were going to go that route, just go Marine Corps--I mean might as well if you are going to go through the same hell they go through. One thing to think about with being a Combat Medic--you are being asked to do two jobs simultaneously--it is not like a civilian paramedic that arrives at a bad car wreck and your job is only to save lives-- as a Combat Medic, your job is to run out into the middle of the street where snipers are posted up in buildings all around, and retrieve your fallen comrade--perhaps render first aid in the street while firing your weapon, or else pulling him/her to a safe place to continue CPR/apply tourniquet, etc.. You can never forget the "Combat" part of Combat Medic-- you are always doing a dual mission--you can't just stop firing your weapon--they even teach the wounded, you have a DUTY to continue firing at the enemy--even if you got shot in the neck-- keep returning fire to help the Combat Medic that is running into the street to gather you up. Learn the 9 line Medevac before you go see a recruiter if you really want to impress them. Also as someone mentioned--it never hurts to have civilian paramedic training. If you are in great shape, and I mean great shape--mentally and physically, then the Air Force Special Forces has a group called Para-Rescue/Combat Controller--and they are very elite. Their typical mission may involve going to rescue a downed pilot who crashed in enemy territory--and the pilot is being hunted by the enemy and you at the same time. Crazy stuff... but necessary. The pilot must destroy all sensitive equipment before egressing and leaving the downed aircraft, but also must get the heck out of there because it is not hard to find smoking wreckage. [/QUOTE]
