Military Experiences

Oct 1995 - Jul 1996

BN Medical Supply Sergeant

HHC 2/12 CAV, 2 BDE, 1CD | Fort Cavazos, TX

In addition to my standard Medic duties, due to my 91Q training and NCO shortage, I was given the additional duty to maintain the BN medical supplies and aid in the logistical readiness of our Aid Stations, Ambulances, and Platoon. As a Specialist filling an E-6 bracket I was entitled by regulation to be promoted to the nearest NCO rank as I was working 2 grades beyond my rank... unfortunately the unit chose not to process the paperwork making my CPL rank official.

HHC 2/12 CAV, 2 BDE, 1CD | Fort Cavazos, TX

As one of only 3 Medics in the Platoon with EMT certification (one was detached to the TMC, and the other was an NCO assigned to a line unit), I was relied upon to take lead in triage for daily sick call, coordinate the rotation of drugs for dispensing, and filing of medical record correspondence. I also was the key to Battalion vaccinations to maintain unit deployability.
