Can I skip 300-F1 in the Flight Medic Pipeline ?

2019-10-29T21:18:51-04:00

I am an NREMT-P as well as a North Carolina certified paramedic. I completed an army course through WAMC at Ft Bragg in order to get the certification, and from what I can tell, the course should be considered a "Home Station Equivalent" of 300-F1 in the flight medic pipeline. I can see on my SRB that 300-F1 is not on my list of military education. Is there any way to apply straight to 300-F2?

Don't have a proper answer for you, however, if you're an NR-P (it's no longer NREMT-P), why aren't you an E4 at least?

You should be able to go through an accelerated program (RUSH Med) or something equivalent for CCP-C/FP-C.

If the Army is paying you to go through a course, go. You might learn something. Especially if you have little or no actual Paramedic experience. Even more so if you don’t have critical care experience.

If there was it would be listed. Get it thru your head there is the Army Way, the right Way and your Way- Your way doesn't count, and the Army way always take precedence

In my Day 300 F1 was Special Forces Medic. Then the Army Liked to play with Numbers and it became 18D. In Regard to Flight Medic. Your question should be addressed to either the Academy of Health Science Fort Sam Houston Texas or the Aviation School of Medicine at Fort Rucker AL. [login to see] /7445. I would suggest calling the Army Aviation School of Medicine at Fort Rucker AL first. I found their number on their web page. Here is the thing about Medicine and Army Medicine. I have a friend who is an RN and a Flight Nurse in Civilian life. To be an Army Flight Nurse their was a bunch of paperwork involved to show the proper education was met. Still, the Army being the Army he had to accomplish all the requirements established by the Army Aviation School of Medicine. Do not take what people tell you as gospel. It is what is in writing that matters. The Army School of Aviation Medicine should have every thing in writing you need to know.
