Hey all. Just trying to get a feel of how this whole thing would work.
I'm an NREMT-B, in Paramedic school.
If I were to become a full fledged paramedic here and then enter the military with the goal of becoming a 68W combat medic, would I still have to go through allllll of the low level training that I'm already certified for?
From what I've gleaned from reading various things, it seems like 68W training is designed for if you have had NO prior experience or training at all. Its goal is to get you certified as a basic, right?
But as an already functioning civilian NREMT-Paramedic, I would already be leaps and bounds above where anyone else in that training program would be, w/ them just trying to get their basic cert. compared to me having my paramedic.
So where would that put me?
I'd still have to get through Basic training, but I would also have to go through all the 68W training or are there test out options or advanced entry options that let those with adequate or excessive prior training enter into the military faster?
If anyone can give me some good detailed info about this, that would be great! Thanks.
