Whats your sustainment planning to be able to keep the cert? That's my first tip... getting the training is okay, but it takes you away from your unit for too long of a period I believe in a lot of cases.
If you just want the education of a paramedic, a few other ways are out there to get it.
If you're unit genuinely wants a Paramedic, they will need to look at getting you the toolkit to go along with it.

Yes I went to it in 2016. It's tough for sure, don't let yourself go in the military aspect just because you are going to a civilian school that was the biggest problem that we had in my rotation. As for the maintaining the certification. Ft. Bragg Medical Site Training Center has a course you can take in order to maintain your hours and certs.

I'm currently the class leader of the first rotation of the 4month paramedic class at FTCC. We graduate in May. If you have specific questions about it shoot me a message and I'll answer them best I can.

We are trying a few different courses based off success rates and ease of use. There are online versions as well. Go over to WAMC and talk to SSG Lombard (Hospital Education, basement) he can answer any question you may have.
