I arrived here on Bragg for SOPC-1 on 11 October 04. That makes it 28 months Sir.
Damn I have been here entirely too long.

Just talked to the instructors there, and here is the latest "no bull" poop. Just in the last two days, Mr. C said that the national registry is allowing 18D's now to test for the paramedic. This just came down. Couple of rules though
1) you have to pay for it yourself, and study yourself
2) They are backdating it up to two years
3) You have to had graduated SFMS no longer than two years ago.
Since that last one is the "catch" Mr. C is trying to get them to recognize SOCMSSP as paramedic refreshers....when that happens, anyone who is an ATP and stayed current with SOCMSSP will be able to get NREMT-P.

Here is the latest as of right now. I talked to the EMS coordinator, Mr. C, at the school house and he told me that once you finish with the course you may take all your certificates, grades, and course descriptions to a community college, have them review your records and then if they wish to transfer your credits from JSOMTC to whatever their college is then take the state NREMT-P exam through their college then challenge the National Registry.
As of right now that is the course of action for anybody wanting to attain the NREMT-P certification.

As of three weeks ago, the EMS coordinator is saying that we can chalenge the EMT-P written test. We have to pay for it ourselves but that isn't the hard part. We also have to find a place to to take the hands on portion. One of the SEALs cadre here is working on it but so far the nearest place he has found is Virginia Beach. The coordinator said that the schoolhouse is trying to work out a deal with one of the local colleges here in Fayetteville to allow students to do the hands on portion here but it hasn't been worked out yet. Now that I have finished the 18D course and headed back to Carson, I am going to try to find a place there.

Col. Farr mentioned at SOMA '08 the possibilities of a flight medic credential. Anyone here anything else on that?

While an interesting proposal...there is much more the the Flight Medic course than your standard Emergency Medical Part. There is (or at least was) also two weeks of aviation specific medicine (flight / medication / altitude interaction), altitude physiology, chamber rides, and hoist training.
They would have to have some sort of bridging course to meet USASAM's requirements I think.

It's not like gathering merit badges because it's all valid emergency medical education and IMO, you should get every certification that you can. Someday you guys will leave active service and everything you once were allowed to do in the military and SF will be seriously curtailed on the civilian side. Having National Registry Paramedic and other certifications makes you immediately employable.
