NREMT-I Nationally Recognized Emergency Medical Technician - Intermediate
"Will the 75th care?"
My guess is yes they will care, if you decide to become a Ranger Medic. Otherwise, not so much.
The Sleepy Doc may have some better information for you. I'm sure he'll be along shortly.

Hmmm... let me think about this one... I'm a squad leader in the Regiment and I'm trying to decide who gets to carry the aid bag?... The guy with no training or the EMT... Hmmmm, that's a tough one.. 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone will take interest. Not during Basic/AIT/Airborne though. I don't care if you are a thoracic trauma surgeon, while in school you are just another student. They don't like showboaters. If somebody asks, tell 'em.. Or if there is an extreme life or death emergency (and I do mean life or death) then spring into action. However, don't go walking around with a T-shirt on with a big "EMT" on the back and introducing yourself as one. Remember, cadre are trained to a similar capacity as an EMT because people get hurt alla time, or there will be experienced medics there on site. If they ask for your help, great, otherwise step the fuck back and let them do their job. In RIP, don't even bother. The average Ranger 11B could run rings around you in a medical emergency while smoking your ass (and getting some chicks phone number).
As far as the recertification, you will have to get with your local medics wherever you wind up to find out if it counts; some will and some won't. They would be the ones signing your paperwork anyway.
Congrats, though. Not an easy course to pass.

In a war where the key terrain is Hearts&Minds, that's just another way to win a battle, when the local has a sick child or mama that the Yankee can keep alive.poopscoop wrote:Are you really expected to perform skills on pediatrics/geriatrics?
It isn't always about killing and breaking things.

Poop,
At Bn, each squad usually has at least 1 EMT-B. with you're EMT-I you'll be a leg up civilian side, but not much else. Bn med will help you keep your certification, with yearly training, focusing on trauma primarily. Ranger First Responder is taught to everyone at RIP. Look up Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) for more information about military medicine, specifically

My Perspective,
Although it seems like a million years ago, 91B1Ps in Batt were at least EMTB with skill sets up to I and P. Sleepy Doc was paramount in this training on my end as a cherry (me). Couty filled in the tactical blanks. Miller layed the overall SOPs and pioneering of what RGR Med is today.
As I recall, the packing list was such that you would be lucky to have water. Food consisted of seeds, Cope, Jerkey, and dried fruit stuffed in the map pouch of your rack.
Regt. Surgeons stressed the "Ranger" part before the "Medic" part.
Some skills looked sexy on paper in the field, but were simply not feasible.
As a medic, my priority was to save Ranger lives consisting of:
-Actually getting there physically - some Docs would fall the fuck out!
-Fighting the fight as a Ranger rifleman.
-Setting CCP's to standard as per Couty's guidance.
-Employing skills set by Sleepy Doc.
-Following the SOPs set by MSG Miller.
NREMT B-I-P whatever - just get the training, practice it and hopefully it will save a Ranger's ass.
But then that was like....almost 10 years ago.
