@@kevincorrigan1754 it was rough. Most of my friends who lasted longer than I did just simply got too beat up. I would have trained for push ups more. Learning to climb rope on the fly came in clutch.
I left the Navy, FMF Corpsman in 2nd Force Recon Co, because very little advanced medical training in the early 80s. I did all of the combat training with my Marines and even passed the Ranger course & the Marine Recon course. I enlisted in the Army as a 19D for the bonus (11B was $2.5K but 19D was $12K). Went SF became a 18E, retired as a Military Intelligence Officer. Everything you were talking about is what I wanted as a Corpsman. If the Green side Corpsman had the current SARC program available back then I'd have stayed in the Navy. You should review a video on the SARC (Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman) program. Nice podcast. I'm also amazed by the GAF attitude in the civilian world since I retired.
I was an import from the 82nd. I had to relearn every thing when I got there. It truly was the highlight of my 24 year career. C/1/75. When I got to my co. I was a SP-5 with a Tab. they thought I was a cook. LOL
Amazing video. I'm currently a Junior rn. Also studying bio. This whole covid thing for the past year, working and studying from home is killing me. I'm not getting any younger. I want to do something with my life so I've been considering going this route. Are there programs in the Army such as the PA one but for physicians? Its what I ultimately want to do finish once I'm out but I'd like to serve in the military as one of those forward medical units. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks a bunch
Not a ranger medic myself but from what I understand, you don’t take your family from basic, through ait, pre-rasp, rasp, or airborne. SOCM is a 36 week course so you can PCS your family then because of the duration of the school. No family at ranger school either. Hope this helps
so if I, an e-3 at 68w ait with option 40, pass rasp and socm and everything then I'll get promoted to e-5 when I get to my unit? I'm a bit confused and can't find anything about it online.
Nope. Need ranger school before E5. E5 is not an automatic promotion. You'll be an E4 by the time you get to regiment and you'll do a board and BLC and promote to CPL and await a Ranger school slot.
What a goofball, ‘ranger medic’ seems to not know shit about what us ‘regular medics’ learn and practice, buddy went ranger and lost control of his ego
Thank you so much for this. At PRE-RASP now. Never meant to be a medic but I’m here now trying to be the best I can be. Great informational content.
Glad to help! Thanks for the support!
how is it going ?? updates?
@@kevincorrigan1754 I did not make it. But now I work at Ranger School as a medic for 4TH.

Great video and info as always, defiantly useful for someone like me who is looking preparing to be a ranger medic!
I signed the contract for 75th medic aswell 💪🏻
Thank you for this amazing interview
Thank you both for this interview, I'm aspiring to become a ranger medic and have hopes to one day become a physician.

Just got 68w with option 40 I go to meps Thursday
Enjoy it!
How did u do
how did everything go
Can’t wait to become a ranger medic
Can medic try out for the regimental recon company.
@shocknot idk if you know the answer to this or not but since delta can recruit from outside the army, can Rrc?
@shocknot honestly I just figured you were since you have that document. I’ve never seen it before so I figured you were in.
@@Ash12428 The answer is yes. RRC also recruit outside of the Army. SEALS and MARSOC can try out for RRC.
During the pipeline for 68w option 40, what point does your family get to move in with you ?
Not a ranger medic myself but from what I understand, you don’t take your family from basic, through ait, pre-rasp, rasp, or airborne. SOCM is a 36 week course so you can PCS your family then because of the duration of the school. No family at ranger school either. Hope this helps
What jobs in the civilian life go hand in hand with the training and experience youve learned as a 68w in batt?
Please get your MD
so if I, an e-3 at 68w ait with option 40, pass rasp and socm and everything then I'll get promoted to e-5 when I get to my unit? I'm a bit confused and can't find anything about it online.
