Hi!

DOC- Dude, you get to call for fire?! Thats sweet! Being in A'stan i guess it'd make sense with all them mountains. i get what you're saying, take the ammo that counts. here in iraq...hahahaha...its really boring. i've never used my M9, just for show or when i need to carry something light to...

dude, i'm on the same page as you are. there should be different pays, front line pays and then support personnel pay. but then again when i see paw prints, triple canopy, aegis and other contractors...i get a little jealous...better weapons, gear and pay. its like private school (PMCs) vs...

hahaha i don't want to slay...but if i have to i'd rather do it in the private sector were they have better weapons and gear and a better pay check. we all fight for the same thing, i just want to get paid more. cause honestly...i don't think (we) military personnel are getting paid enough while...

Thats the difference between reserve medics and active duty line medics. reserve..."damn right i will never place it down." if thats your response then how will you treat the PT? active duty, my line medic and i put our primary weapon down because we have our secondary on our chests. we place...

p90x Hey P90X is great, i lost about 38 pounds from doing the program once a day w/ cardio. crazy thing is...i stopped using supplements so most of it was water weight that i lost. i ate whatever the heck i wanted...i had ice cream every other night. i didn't run far about 3 miles everyday, and...

hey doc whats up? hey i took the standard 2 week course. yes Doc Hagmann was there so were some Army SF Medic and i think there was a couple of PMC Medic. I did the pig lab too, can't talk much about it..you know how it is..but you're right, definately the best class I've ever been to...

hey I totally agree. CLS is the basic first responder stuff (more trauma). although it is a good course, the OEMS course is bad freaking A$$!!! the CLS Course is going away with the IVs soon because Soldiers are sticking each other for no reason or they don't remember how to do it...(if...

thats what line (combat medics) medics do. they are always a medic but they do everything a grunt would and then some. Combat Medics are allowed to carry 5.56/9mm weapons, so M16/M4/M9/M11...no crew served weapons. regarding the ROE...your personal safety and the safety of those around you...

I like their products. The medics (and me) have a lot of tac med gear that was issued to us from out unit. The only time we get stuff like that is when we are deployed. I tried to order from them individually, but the customer service...sucks...When my unit orders stuff from them using a GSA C/C...

when Soldier (non-medic types, like me) come back to state side, we can still do IVs. it really depends on how the healthcare provider is, if the PA on call is a teacher type, he/she will let us do IVs. if not, then...all IV bags are turned in once we return from a deployment. I learned how to...

Hey guys, Quick question...how does one become a SWAT Medic? Do they become a NREMT-P/FF then request to be on the local Police/Sheriff's dept's SWAT team? Is the process easy or really competative? What courses would help me? I'm looking into moving in San Antonio, Texas.
