hey there, now first off i'm a pre nursing student so please forgive any stupid questions but i cannot find anyone else to ask, is there a specific type of medic (espeacilly in AF)? what i mean is, are there trauma medics and then regular medics? i really want to get some experience in the trauma feild ( already have some out here ) but was really curious, when i talked to a recruiter and mentioned something about a difference but i cannot remember exactly what he said, also figured talking to actual military nurses and such might be a better insight. If so what are the differences you know of? sorry pretty long post. lolmuch love
No all medics are general medics anymore, unless you go into special operations/pararescue. http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=177
Going into pararescue is not something to take lightly. The drop out rate is somewhere around 60+%. Think of being a Navy Seal and a paramedic and that will give a good idea of what pararescuemen are/do.
