I know my National Guard unit offered it when I was with them.Response by SPC Chas Carr made Dec 8 at 2020 10:53 AM2020-12-08T10:53:42-05:002020-12-08T10:53:42-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member6562342<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Armys paredic program is a part of the flight medic pipeline, the Army isn't going to pay to send people to paramedic if it doesn't support a specific mission requirement. Some posts have worked out programs with their local paramedic programs to send their medics locally.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 8 at 2020 10:58 AM2020-12-08T10:58:02-05:002020-12-08T10:58:02-05:00SSgt Christophe Murphy6562750<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So the question is whether you want to attend an Army paramedic course or if you are trying to get a credentialed EMT certification for post military life. Military schools have to have a cause,effect and relation to what they are doing to be justified as you are dealing with high level school funding.<br /><br />With that said the local unit level has some flexibility there. When I was in the Marine Corps you would occasionally see the Unit Corpsman work some magic with local trainers and host EMT courses for Marines/Sailors to attend to get certified. I emphasize the word occasionally because it wasn't an annual event and not something you could always depend on. It was case by case and when funding/time allowed. But for those who were lucky they got some primo training by a combo training staff of Military Medics and active EMT's. Wealth of knowledge out of the wazoo. But it wasn't traditional training pipeline stuff.Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Dec 8 at 2020 12:58 PM2020-12-08T12:58:20-05:002020-12-08T12:58:20-05:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member6563312<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get assigned to the 83rd Civil Affairs Bn at Bragg, that'll be your first stop after inprocessing. Or you can go beyond a Paramedic and go to SOCM via 18D, 38B, Ranger medic, 160th Medic, or get lucky and get some other random ARSOF assignment as a medic.Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 8 at 2020 4:38 PM2020-12-08T16:38:57-05:002020-12-08T16:38:57-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member6564318<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is actually a current pilot program called the Combat Paramedic Course. It's a 30 week course that just started this year; 2020.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 9 at 2020 12:55 AM2020-12-09T00:55:10-05:002020-12-09T00:55:10-05:002020-12-08T09:37:16-05:00
