Hey guys,
First off, I just wanted to thank all of you past and present military for your service, and the great info on this site. I'm a 22 yr old, recent college grad with a BS in biology. I had PRK(eye surgery) this past June and am currently in the 1 year waiting period (Air Force, at least) before enlisting. I have been lurking around the special tactics site for a while, and going Pararescue has been my goal for some time now. I have an EMT-B certification, but haven't used it yet...not much time left for volunteering between training and working a full time job. Besides Pararescue, I've also been looking heavily into the Special Forces 18D. I'm very much drawn to the idea of working in a larger team, providing care and emergency medicine to my guys and to foreign countries. Don't worry I won't ask which is better. I'm here so I can make a well informed decision, but I realize that only I can make that decision. Thanks for reading all of this if you made it down here. If any 18Ds would be willing to talk about their experience, I'd love to hear it, or if y'all could make make some reading recommendations, that would be great too.
