Any medics out there?? I'm shipping out here soon and then after boot will be at the one and only Fort Sam Houston. I got word about the NPA training, I am an EMT myself, but in civilian classes, we only had to practice on dummies.. so now I'm super nervous lol. I don't flinch at the thought of needles but the NPA and the videos are a little cringy. But I'm gonna have to go through it anyway so how bad is it? is it a pain or just pressure? on a scale from 1 to 10? thanks!
( P.S don't get me wrong I can handle some pretty gruesome stuff, as I said before, I am currently an EMT. this is just new)

All depends at how extensive your experience in bugger retrieval is... If given an option, smaller numbers (measured in French) feel better (look for an 18FR).

Pvt. Gold,Just calm down,focus, and you will do fine. Was a 91-B40, when I was in. I've taught C.P.R.&First Aid for 25yrs. Like 2lt.Kyle said use some lub,goes down easier. But it's what works for different people.I also was a E.M.T. Practice,practice,Etc,etc.

Hello PVT Gold. Yes you will have to go through NPA training that will be during the field craft side of 68w. If you have already have your NREMT then you will be able to accelerate and your AIT will be shorter.
