Roger Ranger Jim.

Rangers,
Yesterday I finally signed an 18x contract. My ship date is so far out because I graduate college in December and it was the next available ship date. I'm excited to be done with that process and move on to the next.

Ranger Fuego, It is only temporary. I am going back to MEPS Thursday to take the airborne physical and sign my contract hopefully. My recruiter was unable to pull up a contract because apparently my ship date (after December 15) was too far for him to pull a contract. He did say they should be able ...

Rangers,

I just got back home from MEPS. I had as much fun as everyone else that has done it. I passed everything, although I have to go back Thursday to take the airborne physical. I had some blockage in my right ear which I need to take care of.

Rangers,

I took the ASVAB today and did very well. My overall score was a 93 and my GT was 123. I leave for MEPS Thursday, and hopefully everything goes well during the physical and have my contact Friday.

Rangers,

Went to the recruiter today to turn in the rest of my packet. I am scheduled to take the ASVAB Monday morning. After that, I just have to wait for a MEPS date when my recruiter sends them my paperwork about a molar being removed when I was 16.

Ranger Jim,

My recruiter had a ceremony he had to attend so we moved the meeting to Tuesday the 10th. I know things have been postponed a few times but this should be the last!

Ranger Jim, I have been taking finals all week and I will be glad when my last, but hardest one, will be over Monday. So far, I will be meeting with my recruiter May 5th to turn in all of my papers and for him to set me up with a MEPS date shortly after. I am excited to get this stepping stone finis...

Rangers,
Here are the scores from yesterday

Pushups 91
Situps 67
2 mile 14:12
Pullups 18

Ranger Jim,
As of right now, I am just waiting for the doctor that performed a tooth surgery, when I was 16, to return from vacation so he can state everything went well. I will post new pt scores Monday.

Rangers, I have an update on the enlistment process. I went to the recruiter today, took the screening test (scored a 74), and am finishing the background check packet. That is the last form I have to complete. Since I missed my window of spring break, I will be going to MEPS soon after finals this ...

Ranger Grim666,

I will definitely be purchasing the EMT book in the near future. It would be ignorant not to get a head start on the book they still are using. As for the med math, that is new information for me and I look forward to moving on to it after the EMT book. Thank you for the insight!

Ranger Grim666, I have taken a semester long cpr/first responder class so I am familiar with basic first response. But I am eager to learn, even if the books may be out of my league at the moment. Also, I have taken classes in anatomy and physiology, neuromuscular physiology, and clinical exercise p...

And by the difference in the two, I am referring to how much classroom time there is compared to if it is mostly hands on learning. I understand combat medics deal with combat wounds and clinical as well.

Ranger Grim666, Are there any medical books you recommend I could buy to get a head start on familiarizing myself with some of the more detailed information? I am already familiar with anatomy and physiology of the body, not so much when it comes to actual medical care. I am also unaware of how much...
