to work with SF.

It can be a rewarding career. And just remember the blokes who do take the piss, because you will get them, will be people who have never been in the shit and have never needed a medic. Usually fat REMFS.

You will be given respect by the people you would like respecrt from, the rest F*ck em.

[ryeax23]

I dont normally comment on vidoes but I could'nt help my self. The CMT 1 course is! recognised in civvy street. If being a Paramedic is your goal, you can do a 7 month conversion course when you get out. Not only that many CP companies, or Remote medic companies for that matter, only take on ex services especially from the Army.

Whilst in there is different routes you can take. If you want to soldier get attached to an Inf unit. As you progress there is courses you can do, which enable

[lookseeitsme]

I served 9 years as a medic. Best time in my life. Should have stayed in.

[mightymaikmovies]

this is what i want to do !

[HARROGATEVSTHEWORLD]

hi ppl i dont really know much about medics but i think a combat medic could be an option for me does anyone know what qualifications you need to be a medic in british army?

[RobinCalderwood]

@HARROGATEVSTHEWORLD Hi there. Im hopefully joining next year. You dont need any qualifications.

[caitciar]

Keogh Barracks - November 1979 - Hale Squad - The start of 13 years service in the RAMC / QARANC (male Nurses like myself were re-badged from the RAMC into the QARANC in 1992) - Some great times; DKMH in the early 80s, BMH Hong Kong in the late 80s / early 90s etc etc

[raycrawley]

I served in 16 Fld Ambulance in Malaya during the fifties, still think of those times often.

[mososaur]

When I leave college, I'm hoping to become a Field Medic. I'm not looking for personal glory or to be hero, I want to save lives and pay back my country for everything it has given to me. Can anyone tell me whether any medical conditions i.e. Primarily Asthma, Minor Heart Murmur that would prevent me from enlisting?

[memorgan1]

@mososaur : all a matter of degree of severity. Like any occupation, you have to be fit to carry out the role fully, especially when your mates and patients depend on you being there. Best hing is to go to the forces career info office and ask. At least then you will know one way or the other. Did 19 years as a combat med tech myself, and miss it like hell!

[fragman08]

@mososaur you can't have had astmha or an astmha inhaler prescribed for four years before you apply...

i really want to be a combat medic, but i also want 2 go 2 uni and do paramedic sciences first as the recruiter says that CMT is not recognised on civvie street, but no matter how hard he pushes i WILL NOT join the dark side as i will be a graduate. 2 all u guys currently serving... great job, stay safe and if we are still there in 3 years i sincerely hope as a cmt i dont have to see you.

[ooJaydeeoo]

Hi Alan,

with CMT the qualifaction isnt reconized in Civie life, and it is not a paramedic. in civies terms in an EMT (Emeregency Medical Tec.) But when you get out of Army into Civie you will have to do other courses the Army does let you do NVQs in a wide range of things but you have to work hard to get on to the courses. I wouldnt go for CMT If I was you. Although there is a waiting list for it. You basically set up field hospitals. What was you're BARB test? I would go for QARANC.

[Zoostation23]

Sat my BARB test and did pretty well!

ALWAYS been interested in the CMT's so i think im going to join them. Really looking forward to this life. Scary and hard but fun and different!

If theres anyone on here that wants to send or chat with me about CMTs that would be awesome,names Alan 22 from Edinburgh.

Would stay in the Ramc for a while but worried about what i could do after the army with CMTS....any ideas?

Cheers!

[Selfhealer22]

The QA's (nursing corps) is the corps to be in =P

[slgarah1981]

The first photograph of the girl with the rifle is me

[ooJaydeeoo]

and if you wanna be a combat med tec and you aint got no GCES, you need 52 in you're BARB test. x

[DONNIrish]

@ooJaydeeoo is 52 not a fail,i was told if i get under 60 i will have to resit it again in 6 wks or months,thank fuck i got 72.hahaha sgt probably told me it to put the shits up me

[Selfhealer22]

It's a shame you appear to have no idea what your talking about. It's true however that we only have one life, and some of us dedicate it to maintaining the freedom that our great grandfathers gave us. The army makes leaders and it takes a real man, or woman to do all that they can either by maintaining life, fighting or supporting in other ways in order to create a better future for us all.......

[Selfhealer22]

......Just for a second imagine life in a country where you or your family are oppressed for your beliefs, stoned for adultery or hung for not agreeing with a political power or simply for statements like that and then tell me to walk away.... dont think i can, could you?

[lHoodlum]

I Might join as a Medic? any1 with good knoledge about the ramc send me a personal msg lol thanks

[brokenpenguin33]

hiya,i spent 4 years in the ramc + this vid shows the best parts of it.if youre serious about joining,bear in mind that its a tough job,its stressful,boring at times and with not much thanks.despite that, it was the best years of my life and i plan rejoining.i would recommend it to you,only as long as youre realistic about it.oh, and take no notice of that spam comment because ramc soldiers have won more V.C's for their bravery than any other and being a medic is about saving life not taking it.

[RobinCalderwood]

@brokenpenguin33 I plan to join as a medic in the forces in a few years time, I know it will be tough, but I cant wait.
