Young man:

You are getting way ahead of yourself.

You havent even finished BCT or the 68W course, or ABN, or RASP and you are worried about getting a leg up at SOCM... Nothing wrong with preparing but you have a long way to go before you have to be concerned with SOCM.

Study your EMT-B coursework (because you have already started it), A&P in detail, and do PT. You will be doing a lot more in the SOCM course than "brushing up" on anything. If you go into it with that attitude you will be in the company of the Rangers, SEALs, and SARC guys who have more recycles than they do years in the military.

I searched for "SOCM" and "special operations combat medicine", and read all 5 pages of this forum topic including working links before posting this. If you can show me a place where all of these questions have been addressed before, give me a mailing address and I'll send you a six pack of your choice...
Want me to do your course work for you as well? While not a Ranger, I am quite certain laziness and lack of attention to detail arent traits they are looking for either.

Read your PM and go do PT.
