How often do you 68 series guys use the term "Soldier Medic" outside the schoolhouse?

Never. It makes our skin crawl and we actually vomit a little when we use it. I have to stop myself from assaulting people who call me "soldier medic."

Only to reinforce the necessity of warrior tasks as they were all SOLDIERS FIRST, medics second...
and to make them cringe.

I never heard it other then new soldiers that just get to the unit and they get broke of that really fast. I mostly hear the same brand new medics calling themselves a "combat medic". I break them of that even faster.

I do but usually in a joking manner. Pretty much making the Soldiers think back to Whiskey School.

Since I no longer am a Medic, I never use the term Soldier Medic. But when I address other medics, I simply call them "Doc"

Honestly, even when I was a medic, I never really did like the term "Soldier Medic."
