I would not be alive today, if it wasn’t for the medics in Iraq. Thank you!
Thank you for your service it’s being appreciated
Greetings from The Netherlands
I was a medic for 8 years and did a tour in Iraq from 2004-2005.
What he do, catch a bullet for you?😅😅😅
IED ?
@@cyberleef Yes sir. Brain and spinal injuries.
In Vietnam, our platoon medic, “Doc”, was the most loved guy in the platoon. Saved my life. I remember his last name was Foley. I have no idea what his first name was? We only called him Doc. He was a great guy
Welcome home, Thank you for your service sir.
Thank you for your service, and God bless Doc for saving so many lives!
When you said “Foley” I suddenly got a deja vu vibe from call of duty modern warfare og series
That's ironic
Welcome home
I served as a Combat Medic for 23 years. Saw death pain and suffering in war and peace time. Young and old…friend and foe. It is the great equalizer. It was a privilege for me to touch the lives that I did, and I am humbled by the work of my fellow docs who served when the call went out
God Bless you Brother!
Been in for 6 years now as a medic but only have seen peace time. I really like this job though
@@akamecup8455 some of the worst things I have seen have been in peace time!
@@user-hd4dg3qx3jwhat is that?
Please share your stories! I've been googling and searching UA-cam....we need more content! I love videos and pics to go along with the story.
Currently a 68W SGT. It’s one of the best jobs in the military, I highly recommend
I’m highly considering that as my MOS. I’m enlisting at the age of 26 and and wondering if you could tell me a little more about day to day life. Also do you get attached to infantry and get the same training/ opportunities for example sniper school?
I’d rather go 68V
@@christianstadler6099 any of the 68 series are pretty good
Can you become a Doctor in the civilian life through it ??
@@CjStuntzdid you end up enlisting
I can’t wait to become a Combat Medic. This is my dream job. I know it’s not going to be easy to achieve, but I will get there.
I pray you make it happen! If I could go back in time I too, would be a Combat Medic! Continue your climb & God bless you❤
I’ll be there next year hopefully 🤙
I owe my life to combat medic Thanks TJ 😇
You’re welcome
Just signed my papers the other day for 68W
Former combat lifesaver. Haven't forgotten. My memory. My curse
I hated teaching CLS classes to our Infantry guys the always ending up hurting themselves or someone else.
I'm shipping out in September for basic and I'm going to be a 68W, can't wait to tell everyone to take an ibuprofen
Vitamin M.
Or to put ice on it
All medics in all army liked ibuprofen😂😂
@@Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I thought it was a fucking joke, they gave it to me at basic because I was a heat CAT
Can’t wait to serve along side combat medics in the army, some of the best guys known to man.
Thank you all medical rescue heroes. I was not in combat, but I slipped and broke my ankle in the winter time. Strong heroes helped me get on a stretcher and got me the help I needed.
ONE OF THE HARDEST JOBS THERE IS. YOU STILL CARRY A WEAPON. THANK YOU CALEB ARMSTRONG
"91B4S GM R6" 1970-2006 . Sworn in on a "Battlefield Commission" in Fall of 2002 . However, never stopped being "DOC" for my Troopers. Still there supporting all U.S. Service members everyday
There is just something about a specialist saying: "Gives me motivation" and "Be all I can be"
I'm being shipped out to BT at the end of the month as a 68W, I hope it's gonna be Fun!
Just be careful with the Jodies when you get to your AIT or Ft. Sam Houston.
Hell yeah man, you doing to ft Jackson for training?
You’re a roblox youtuber.
You have a pretty deep voice compared to a 10 year old, sure, but are you sure you’re in the military? You should make your subscriptions private, btw.
FT Sam is a blast once they start letting you off post on the weekends.
Nobody stands taller than a combat medic on the battlefield.
It’s cause it’s a warcrime to shoot them right?
Thank you all vets and their families for their sacrafice
Just got out as a combat medic man best job I ever had, best is being out there with your boys doing dirt ball things with them
91B - Combat Medic 1976 - 1990; TCCC Provider 2022 - Present.
Son in law is a combat medic. Love you Ben🫡🫡❤❤❤
As a medic with the EFMB my guys in 2 nd armoir division took good care of me. As I did them.
To those that serve and those that have paid the ultimate price. Thank you for your service.
no, but I salute our heroes and may they safely return to their families ❤
Thank you for your service, specialist Armstrong.
My MOS Hoooah! Love every moment of it
We thank you for your dedication and service.
I plan to try for combat medic when I get out of highschool
Just enlisted with a 68W contract!
Combat lifesaver course is essential.
Treat breathing, bleeding, shock, fractures, burns and concussion.
Several steps for each.
Don't forget, castration and decapitation.😅
Sucking chest wounds -get your poncho.
My great-great grandfather was a medic in the Great War.
I was a 91W/68W for 8 years best job of my life.
Man, thank you for the work you do!
I enlisted as a 68W. Ended up failing the NREMT. That will fail you out of the whole course unfortunately.
Ironically, the Navy doesn’t require that class like the Army does so I could have been a Corpsman.
32 weeks at Fort Sam and never once got to leave post.
Medic school is the second hardest school the US Army has to offer, it’s not for the faint of heart and you Must Study Hard.
The best people were the ones that were EMTs at home or firefighters.
You will run everyday like someone else’s life depends on you (because if you make it, it most certainly will.)
It was a dream of mine to become “Doc” to others. I have a few friends that made it but they really went through some 💩.
I reclassed to a 88M and got to spend 2 years in Europe, drove 55,000 miles across 10 different countries.
I don’t have any regrets other than not being able to pass that test. Pretty big direct hit to the ego there.
I scored high in my class. Why? Because if you had an average of 80 or higher you could stay off base overnight and party all weekend. Our class was the first to be designated 68 w from the old 91 w designation. Restrepo was in my class good dude.
@@tdubbs934
It was 91B back in the day - says it on my DD214 when I retired as a MSG after DS.
Thank you for your service Brother!
Thank you for your service Brother. Sometimes shyt happens for unknown reasons. You obviously kept your chin up and was part of the team!
Np, thank you! It was 91w in 2006 and thats the year it changed to 68w. I felt bad for my classmate who I went to serve with in the 173… while we were in training he got a 91 w tattoo on his arm and it changed to 68w lol.
I started as a student first at AIT and then spent three years in the National Guard as part of my unit. Unfortunately, some personal issues caused some trouble for me, but now I am pursuing my education further, currently in physician assistant school, unfortunately, not with the army, though. Undoubtedly, Sam Houston instilled in me multiple values that guide me along my life's journey.
Armstrong you slept in AIT classes nearly everyday how did you even pass??
He obviously had trained his ear to collect audio info while sleeping
Long as he can do his job
It is called mastering the arts of a Shamauri.
Dirtbag Pvt: Sham on private, *_sham on_*
Bum tryna throw dirt on someone else.
Fresh 68w outta ait wish me luck yall😊
I miss being a whiskey, the level of trust and faith is still to this unlike anything found out of service. Trade secret duct tape as well as sharpie; helped keep earlier chest seals in place and great substitute instead of field medical cards. Brave Rifles 4/3 ACR
I want thru combat medical training and graduated from Fort Sam in Texas in 1972. The uniforms were often ill faded olive green but the training was excellent. Loved my work.
Cool video. Docs good in my book.
Thank you for this video, I’m so anxious about becoming a CNA then a RN.
Considering this getting my EMT license first
If you go to Combat Medic school in the Army the first 6 weeks is spent studying for the NREMT test and getting your EMT license. Let the Army pay you to get it instead of paying for it yourself.
@@BobbyCarlBoozeDoc Thank you got the information I appreciate it I will do that instead.
If you go in with ur EMT they give you E4 and let you skip those first 6 weeks.
@@jtwebb9 shit that must have started after I graduated we had paramedics that started at day 0 with E2 rank.
Awsome U.S army the best ❤
Taking a life is one thing, saving a life, that's power ! Thanks for the medics, navy/ COST Guard and P.J.'s !
Jeff M USMC occasional hero nuff.
My uncle was a combat medic early on in Afghanistan. Not sure if he got badly wounded but he did make it home.
Both medics I was with in my time were the best dudes in the platoon
medic gaming irl
Been there, done loads of that
We were more than medics. We were Doc to our troops.
91 bravo next before I ship in June 13
Nice parashoot patch.
YUP!! I could!! I was the Doc on my shift at the fire department I was on back in the day...
being wisky is cool and all, and you can promote super fast in the military, but it doesn't have much use outside the military world. the best you get is an EMT certification... if you go 68c,p,k or anything else, you have much better paying jobs out the military when ur done. but the trade off is that it's alot harder to promote especially in something like 68P (rad tech), or kilo
Not much promotion spots past E6 for a medic in the Army.
@Doc E you'll find them if you want them, I've met a couple E7s while in service. Not sure the path they took, but I imagin they just went to every military school they could go to.
@@dontworry7217 our entire battalion only had one E6 and one E7.
@Doc E god damn where were u? Back In AIT at Fort Sam we had a couple floating around
@@dontworry7217 mechanized infantry battalion with about 70 medics dispersed throughout the companies and aid station. The medical battalion in our brigade only had a couple E7 there is not much use for them in combat units which are the only units worth being a medic in I am sure a place like Ft Sam in a training battalion there is more use for them but who wants to be in a training battalion like the 232?
Ngl my dream mos when I get in the military.
They showcased a splinter removal? How embarrassing for us. You could have shown a skin debridement, a 9-line medevac, or literally anything else. I lanced boils that looked more exciting.
This is what I’m trying to become right now. Waiting on going to meps
Thank you all for your service. Keep kicking ass.
My dad is a medic, specialist rn coming into SGT soon! He signed another 4 years.
I dont think. I know. 2007 173rd. Good times.
Niche "be all u can be" not how he ment it but I love how we use it in the army. I was in 97
My brother was an army medic. Now his knees are shot, and the VA has pathetic organization for care. Don’t join.
Looking good you guys
I was a medic on active duty for 17 years and I never did it in any other capacity than being in line infantry units as well as special operations forces
If you’re a medic and have not been to bct3 you’re not a medic. That is the real stuff. Do it. Learn. And help your soldiers.
whoever thought up a combat medic short should be fired.. you could have made such a better short with medics..
Hey Mr, Armstrong I have the same watch that you have my dad gave it to me recently but he passed
Be all you can be.
The patient has a 1 foot long finger
Oh you got a splinter? Lay down soldier, fingers gotta come off.
Needs water and 800 mg of Motrin.
@@BobbyCarlBoozeDoc 💯
I just passed my asvab too 😊
Don't fuck with doc unless you want a life time supply of lead shot in you general area (not all will come from the ground...)
Wow! This is great,Bro!
Am a Chief of Chaplains,by the grace of GOD
91A1P 💪😎
I am 12 and my my dream is to be a combat medic
Are you gay?
Got that same watch, she’s a beauty!
Aiming for 68C but I hope I get to help a soldier that needs immediate aid.
I want to be a combat medic when I join the army
Get an EMT license before you join. You automatically get 3 promotions upon enlistment, and you skip the first phase of job school.
I will be trying to join next year as a combat medic when ive been off my anti-depressants.
Im an EMT so hopwfully thatll count towards something.
If you are able ro enlist as a mesic and maintain your national registry certification as an emt, your ait will be half as long as those that don't have the certification. I made the mistake of letting my certification laps 4 months before I enlisted as a medic. Believe me, it ia worth maintain your certs.
Good luck. If I could, I would still be there doing the job I loved. In garrison and dwployed, it was the best "job" I ever had.
I am a 68W20
“When the patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again! Anyways that how I lost my medical license”
Im at fort sam now going through 68W SOLDIER MEDIC! WARRIOR SPIRIT! HUA!
I was from 82 to 89. Back then we were 91Alpha's.
Best job in the world!
My dream job
I’m thinking about going in and want to be a 68W if I do
Yeah I played americas army and passed the combat medic class when I was 12 I’m ready. Give me my mnk and send me out
I graduate AIT on June 27th, this is easier than highschool lol, anyone can do it
Medics are bad ass
Yeah
91 Bravo
If a person is willing to shield a wounded soldier with his own body when treating him then yes.. they may have what it takes to consider being a combat medic
I was one.
68W’s are always covering our backs man,let me tell you, as a 1221 (Breach Engineer,or just known as a breacher.) I get pretty close at a door one time,they had a 30-30 rifle,trying to hunt rangers instead of animals? What is this? Anyways,got shot around my right clavicle,doc wiped it with gauze,but,I already had internal bleeding,they hooked me to an IV,treated me with O2 Therapy,I was decommissioned for a short time,but I came back.
Where my whiskeys at??
bro my dad was a combat medic
I think I know that guy, but my medpros is still red
Medics got hardest job in military.
My brother is a medic in the guard, he taught me how to apply a tq
Around your neck?😅
@@christophernichols114 no, just on an appendafe, cant help you there buckaroo
68Ws lead the way!
HOOAH Brother
I have 2 yrs before I can enlist but since date 1 it’s always been a 68W
❤🎉 profesional invaluable 🎉
