does the NPA hurt?

[imnotemo888]

no its just having something up your nose and it might trigger your gag reflex but you will be fine lol and believe me thats the worst of your fears in school.

Wait...

Black?

Were you ever a holdover in E Co? Are you about 5'6", with dark hair. Do you do an excellent impression of a methed-out redneck auctioneer?

[davidblack9071]

@RCRhythm No I am light haired never a holdover 6 foot and definitely not a redneck

[db10001110101]

I miss that place. Fort Sam was the best. I was an Alpha Gator

[nick13524]

hi everyone! well I'm hoping to enlist as either health care specialist or mp (preferably health care specialist); the only parts of the ASVAB I'm worried about are the mechanical and electrical sections, but do those really affect whether or not I would be able to be a medic?

[JQ24]

Good ol Ft. Sam. This brings back memories. Nice pics and song! Shout out to all soldier medics!

[trosenberry8]

[aeroflying]

What is a line medic?

[armydoc13]

medic whjo is on the front line s with the infantry

[liquidpoizon]

@aeroflying probably the best kind of medic there is in my opinion. one who is out on the front lines with the combat arms guys saving their lives when the shit hits the fan. both the combat arms and combat medic have very difficult jobs.. having to save a life under pressure at times wehther it be returning fire or giving life saving aid.

[azst52]

how hard is it to be a combat medic for a unit?

[davidblack9071]

Nothing worth doing is ever easy. It is the most rewarding job I could ever hope for. Saving someones life is the best feeling in the world. Once you get that feeling you will want to be the best medic there is.

[azst52]

I meant like a combat medic Detached to an infantry platoon? how often will a 68W be a medic going out on patrols

[davidblack9071]

Well how much of the Army is Combat Arms/Infantry? A majority of medics aren't line medics. If you want to be a line medic the only way you can make sure it happens is to go be a Ranger Medic or an 18D. Otherwise it is the luck of the draw.

[heatwave2012]

@davidblack9071 thats what i want to be...a ranger medic

[Jahr30]

@davidblack9071 unless you go National Guard....Then you will know the exact unit you are in. In my Case i just signed as a 68W three months ago but havent gone to AIT or basic yet, but i know im attached to a platoon in Delta Co. 2/127 infantry. Also since im already an EMT i signed as an E-4 and skip 8 weeks of AIT

[imnotemo888]

I was a 19k but I got out and just re-enlisted as 68w I just go straight to school but boot sucks ass if you go to knox..heads up

[Xaforn]

Sounds awesome, and definitely something worth doing.

[aeroflying]

Do you have any stories to share? I'm considering joining the reserves as a medic.

[t5C7]

@davidblack9071

I second that. The day I saved my father life I knew exactly what I want to do with my life. And whats better then saving the lives of the people that risk theirs for us. 68W HOOAH!

[MajesticWolfRunner]

when i graduate next year i will be coming here for basic training and animal care specialist training.

[kodycomedian]

Can't wait! i leave for Sam H. in feb (basic first)

[Pecina18Army]
