Year 1 in Group?
As a newly graduated Medic assigned to the 7th SFGA:
• SGM Dick Warren put my ass in the 7th SFG motor pool for 2 months to learn to maintain and repair vehicles (hated ‘breaking” M35 tires), pull DZ coverage with my temp “assigned” M151 ambulance, and learn that SF Medics (or any newbies) are lower than whale shit until they prove themselves worthy of acceptance by their team mates
• Trip with 2/5th SFG
• Mountain/ski training in Northern Arizona
• Trip to Latin America
• 2 months doing MEDCAP support (“Nation Building” for NHS) in rural NC
• Trip to Oro Grande/Lincoln National Forest for UWEx with Canadian 2 Cdo (English speaking) for aggressors and involuntarily reactivated IRRs for Gs
• Left for USASFT (3/1st SFGA) and JCRC (SFT-36 @ Nong Takoo and CtlTm-A @ NKP)
