Dalton Griffin there is never a sure way to get over seas. Esp a specific hospital. You have to remember that it's Corpsman are very versatile. We could be station on the ship, in the hospital with the Marines, etc. so my recommendation to you and other people is just to put that on your dream sheet. That dream she will be given to you towards the end of the school.

Hmm, yeah i guess that could be a blessing and a curse, being they need corpsman everywhere, so logically theres always spots in Yokosuka to fill if people wanted them, but also thousands in other locations, say i dont get Yokosuka as my first duty station, any advice on whats the next step for how to get to Yokosuka? also how often would you say your allowed to go out and explore like Tokyo? id love to visit tokyo on a weekly basis idk if id have to use my leave days or not, any advice would mean so much to me im very anxious, Btw Thank you so much for the replies, i know you have alot on your plate with your channel it means alot to me for your time.

Dalton Griffin let's see...an advice to get YOKOSUKA after your first duty station...well you can always talk to the detailer about it. And you can explore Tokyo as much as you can without using your leave days. Just as long as you don't have duty. I saw Tokyo the way I wanted and was an amazing time.

Do not go into HM for any branch. Certificates and licenses acquired in the military are useless in the civilian world. You will have to go to an accredited institution recognized by your state to practice any form of medicine. EMT certifications are not even recognized. "A" school is NOT guaranteed for every candidate, and if "A" school is offered, most likely it will be an occupation that you will not be interested in. Chances are that you will be attached to a Marine unit and become a field medic. My advice to anyone potentially interested in becoming a Hospital corpsman in the armed forces, is to take the college route. Get your undergraduates, consider graduate programs and medical schools in your states. As an HM you learn basic skills that are not even recognized in most states, and you will end up in college working for a degree to get accredited. I currently have an 8 year contract, 4 years active plus a 12 month extension totaling 5 years. The remaining 3 years are under individual ready reserve. Please really think about what you expect to get out of the armed forces when you plan on returning to civilian life. For those who want to continue a career in the medical field in the civilian sector YOU WILL NEED COLLEGE ACCREDITATION. Those who want to join the military for academic purposes or those trying to finish college degrees, be careful chances are that you will be forced to take online classes to do so. I do not regret my military experience, but I wish someone would have told me everything that I know now when I made my decision to enlist. (PO3)

I leave to boot camp aug. 22nd this year, then a school in Texas.. we can choose what hospital we want to work in? And if we're in a hospital, and say we want to eventually go overseas can we do that? And in a school do they go in depth with teaching what type of different medical teachings there are? For example like radiology, dental, do they teach all these subject in a school? Thank you so much, I really appreciate all the help you're giving me!
@iamsuperperfect46057 жыл бұрын
If you go blue side and want a hospital right after A-School that's possible. The common overseas hospitals are Rota and Yokosuka for blue side, green side would be Okinawa. Spain and Japan are typically really popular hospital destinations especially for girls, they really like to go overseas so you'd probably have to finish in the Top 5 in A-School realistically to have a shot at those hospitals.

He shouldn't worry about the final grade there at a school. They won't matter. Just as long as you pass. Unless you are the top of the class of course. But a recommendation would be just doing his job and excelling. Tell him to look for a mentor in his first command who will lead him to the right direction. Go to school. Get a degree and get into one of the officer schools to become a PA.

Hell No on the Challenge to RN, most girls think there's similarities for being a HM to an RN, there's no relation. HM at most will give you EMT certs but you'd still have to go to Nursing school when you get out. If RN is the goal do your 4yrs get out go to Nursing School for free.
