A friend of mine (whose also a girl) is a combat medic, so I think you have a chance.

I burnt my behind on a fire call. Now it hurts to sit down.

And last time I checked you’re supposed to follow the speed limit even while responding with lights and sirens. Grow a back bone and say something, if someone is making me feel unsafe on a fire call I’d sure as hell say something,especially if they’re going 75 mph. They are endangering themself...

This may sound a bit harsh, but using a cellphone while responding is a fireable offense.

Must have cost you a pretty penny.

Thanks for responding, I think I may join the Air Force or Army after I finish my EMT course. If the army medic is the way to go to acheive my goal. Which county is bristol?

Nothing bad happens here, I’m a member of my local FD and all we really get is vehicle accidents and automatic alarms. We’ve never had any real mass incidents besides the hurricane.

My local PD’s “SWAT” team consists of one guy.

Thanks, to answer your question I pretty much want any tactical medicine postion and a way to get my foot in the door.

I think I have more of a chance going into the Army or Air Force as a medic. I appreciate the response though. I’ve considered the Air Force as a Pararescue guy. I could meet the physical requirements. It’s just my career goal is some kind of tactical medicine.

Would a military background help at all?

I’ve only ever used my knife for vehicle rescue stuff.

Personally I carry a Benchmade Mini Griptillian but I don’t own a multi tool quite just yet. Let’s hear yours.

Is it a realistic career goal?

What exactly is a tactical medic? And how do you become one?
