I was a tier 2 as well and I picked my MOS. I'm NG though... and because of my tier 2 diploma I wasn't allowed to do their active first program. I finished up my senior year independent study. It's Marine Corps where they will assign it to you. If it's not what you want, don't sign it. War...

JIM said it best, only one who knows 100% is a recruiter. Your GED is a tier 2 diploma which will make it more difficult to get in, but standards change all the time so you need to see a recruiter. Also, if you have college credits then that helps because it may waive you not having a hs...

Interesting. Thanks. Its only a matter of time before we go over and **** them up.

Im getting my AA in health sciences to keep my options open just incase EMS isnt for me. I plan on getting my AA in paramedic through a paramedic program as well but can also fall back on the health sciences degree to get me into other programs. My VA counselor recommended it to me and it didnt...

Oh no i realize that and completely agree. Was just asking if their modules are something worth going to that anyone with the dough to drop on it assuming their department doesnt pay would be a suitable option. Of course it wont count as any type of certification or anything...

In all seriouness would the international school of tactical medicine be the closes you can get without joining the military or law enforcement SWAT medic?

I'll match you ghillie suit with fat tacticool multicam cop and raise you backwards eotech

So he can be certified as a tactical EMT of course! Duh.;)

I'm not a medic in the Army but will be reclassing from 11B to 68W next year in the National Guard and I'll be using OSOE (Original Special Operations Equipment) Aid bag. http://www.originalsoegear.com/collections/medical/products/medical-backpack. I already have a tear off IFAK and compact...

Buy once, cry once.

I carry a 6PX PRO every day and love how compact it is. On top of surefire probably being the most reliable and rugged brand out there, their customer service is top notch and they replace any defective products of theirs no questions asked. I feel like spending my dough on any flashlight that...

Yeah good point. Probably would've been a good idea for him to carry a CAT as well but I think he was in the mindset of compactness. Where just the windlass on a CAT is longer than the chest dart package I don't think he liked the bulk for EDC. For those that conceal carry a gun every day it's...

Good point and I agree it looks like it does require more finesse and dexterity.

Yeah I have no idea what he meant about the airway adjunct with the safety pins either... He wasn't a medic he was a firearms instructor and unfortunately he died a couple years ago and wouldn't be able to comment on what he meant. I agree with having the right tool for the job as well and I...

I carry CATs on the outside of my IFAK because they are indeed easy to manipulate one handed. I have SOFT-T as well but they are not as easy one handed so they are for mainly for others. There are some videos and other people stating that this can be done one handed but it doesnt seem nearly as...

Not sure id trust an ace bandage because of the elasticity. Have you considered a triangle bandage? A shemagh would accomplish the same task. Check this out.

Bummer... Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy. Do you mind telling us how much it sold for? I'm just curious.

OH MY GAWD that is bad ***... I live in CA. Is it still available and how much would you take for it? Interested in any trades?

http://ratstourniquet.com/ I put this thread under the military subforum because it is currently still being evaluated by the committee on tactical combat casualty care. I did a search on this forum and did not find a thread talking about this relatively new tourniquet system. If this subject...
