Hey from Afghanistan

[68w]

Hi everyone my name is Rick and I am currently in Afghanistan. I am a line medic for an infantry unit. I have made a few good contacts here for contracting after words but i am in need of my EMT-I. As some of you will already know the army medic while versed an a number of things is on the civilian side just an EMT-B does any know where I can get a course to upgrade to emt-I?

thanks

Rick

Man: Why do they say god save the infantry?

Grunt: Because if we cant save ourselves hes the only one that can help.

Welcome and thanks for keeping your guys healthy in Afghanistan. Military medics are rock stars in my book.

I am studying Paramedic online with PERCOM that is associated with Kilgore College in Texas http://percomonline.com/percom/.

There are several Medics taking the course that are serving in Afghanistan. They also have special financing considerations for active service members.

Here is a link to a thread where we discussed the program and has a rare note from the Program Director responding to some of the comments from regular posters. I hope that this is helpful to you.

EDIT: I have no personal or financial interest in PERCOM online.

Yeah, man, DFIB is the boss on this subject, he and Terony...

Both are wicked smart and committed to EMS and both swear to the integrity of the above mentioned program...

Good luck Brother. Thanks for your service.

On a side note. If you need contact information about how to reach the right people send me a PM and I will be honored to help you get that contact information. I mean, I don't know what kind of communication restrictions you might have but I do know that there is a Dr. in Afghanistan that participates in the classes as well as special schedule classes for you guys over there. You might be close to someone who can give you better on site information.
