Reenlist

[Ranger Hoot]

Afternoon, I am prior service Army ('98) and have been contemplating reeinlisting. I was in 3rd Batt/75th RR and was not a medic while in. However, after getting out I got my certs/licensing/accreditation and have been working as a Paramedic here in Los Angeles for about 4 years now.

There are a few things I am contemplating and one is a Corpsman with the Navy. My question is though, is there a fast track into the high speed "stuff"? Iknow I would notdo well under the low humof ultraviolet lighting (i.e. clinical setting) Although it has been several years since I have been out, I figure my time in Batt has got to count for something.

As I said, I am looking at a few things and have a couple recruiters working with me, but I also have been fishing around on some of the forums. Any info/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The RANGER God cried from above
Lightning flashed from the darkened sun
Hailstones fell and the earth did mourn
It was a solem day for all Airborne
June 2001 will be
A tradgic piece of RANGER history
Time stood still on that cursed day
Cuz legs were donning black berets

Ranger Hoot,

I'd say if you wanna go Navy HM it's a great place to be. If it's field time you want you could always become a Recon HM. They have a pipeline and are very short handed at the present time. They can always use operators, as they call it! Plus, you get to dive, jump, etc. I don't have the number off the top of my head though I have freinds in that arena that would probably talk to you. Though I know their Indoc test is fairly tough! Just a thought!

Semper Fi,
