phrogphlyerdoc Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Was a fortunate one, I stumbled into aviation medicine Tech HM8406 and was stationed at NAS Pt. Mugu in Aviation Physiology Training Unit, when I checked in we had a Senior Chief Parachute Rigger as our Leading Chief, he asked me if I wanted to fly SAR, and at the same time handed me orders to Imperial Beach for SAR swimmer school. After I came back from that, went through Aircrew syllabus training and qualiffied as SAR HM and 2nd Crewman (Swimmer) on SH-3G Sea Kings, also started flying in research program with VX-4 in back seat of F-4s for VTAS system, Oxygen systems and Egress systems. Then at Pt. Mugu we transitioned from SH-3 to CH-46, and I became a Phrog Phlyer, then was squadron Corpsman with VP-65, and HAL-5. Got sent to FMF school, then on to MCAS (H)Tustin and HMM-163 Evil Eyes as squadron Corpsman, next tour was as SERE instructor at Warner Springs Det, teching field medicine, RTL, Desert Survival and Cold Weather Survival and was also instructor for CSAR (Combat SAR), After that tour went to Marine Mountain Warfare Training Center Pickle Meadows, was assigned to teach in Mountain Medicine Cold Weather medicine training course, also to fill SAR Corpsman billet, but we didn't have an aircraft assigned, so was mainly a RedHat Instructor for Winter and Summer packages, also taught High Altitude and Mountain flying courses. Also Senior SAR Corpsman at NAS Fallon. Last duty station was I&I Staff Corpsman in Sacramento. Left Navy with a little over 7200 hours as Aircrewman. For Grunt Docs... "Walk a week or fly an hour" your choice. NEC's HM 8401, HM 8404, HM 8406, 9502 and 9505 (SERE Instructor), AIrcrew Qualified Feb 77, EMT-P through LA County Fire Department. I considered the PA Pipeline, however didn't want to be restricted to clinic setting, which is where most Navy PA's were at that time (70's, 80's).

DJK18 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Enlisted in the Army in 2013 as a 68W in the Georgia National Guard. While enlisted, I joined Army ROTC at Georgia Southern and received my commission in 2018 as a Chemical Officer in the Reserves. Medical Services was my first choice, but there were no units available in the area I live in. Chemical Corps was my 2nd choice. I also graduated with a 4 year degree and have been working as a X-ray tech for 1.5 yrs now. I am currently prepping to get ready to apply for IPAP. I will be going to school in the fall to take a CHEM 2 class then possibly Ochem or biochem in the spring. I also will be taking the SAT.
