I'm in the military (15 years) and I think it would be awesome to have a Sub-forum called Military medicine. I would even volunteer as a moderator.
This is because the military’s mindset about pre-hospital medicine is totally different; people who contribute can give input about certain new procedures, products being field tested, or just plain ol’ war stories (pardon the pun)…
Many of the Corpsmen and Combat medics that leave do not pursue pre-hospital medicine because of obstacles thrown by the NREMT and State DOHs, nowadays most have experienced more than the instructors, but are forced to start from the very beginning of an EMT class. This is because most have not taken advantage of testing for the NREMT right after MOS/NEC School. I think we here in this forum can be pioneers in helping our brothers and sisters in the military to continue doing the great work they do in the civilian “war zones” by advocating the NREMT to allow them to challenge the NREMT course AT ANY TIME, while in military service AND with the proper MOS/NECs.
Anyway as I stated I think this will be a great idea, you brothers and sisters in arms stand up and sound off!
HUHRAAAA!
