I'd like to reintroduce myself since it's been a long time and I was not very active here (enjoy the moto name, couldn't think of anything else that was identifiable to myself atm). I'm a Corpsman and I was not fortunate enough to get billeted to Division.
I am very fortunate to be working in an ER, I've actually learned a lot of valuable medical skills where most Corpsman in my area just check people in and out and inventory things.
They don't screen for Recon in Corps school anymore and since I didn't get to go to FMTB I didn't get the opportunity to screen. I'll take it as a positive, I'd have failed because my swim is trash, now that I've settled in my duty station and I can properly schedule my free time I use this time to research, learn and train as much as I can so that I can submit my package and become a SARC, I'm single, no dependents and I want to do right by those that sacrificed. Without trying to sound like a boot, my motivation comes from a few things with me being stupidly competitive and never satisfied, but the biggest thing to me is when I was a teenager I'd see on the news about our boys and girls getting killed and it was upsetting to me so so decided that I should be out there helping them, making sure people go home to momma. So I decided, I'll be a medic and I loved being a firefighter and helping people. Perfect job. Cool, I hit thay goal. I'm a Corpsman now, but I'm still here in a nonoperational command and there's still people getting killed, so obviously I'm not doing enough. SARC is simply the next step to reach my goal, the goal is to send people home to momma and the only thing stopping me from my goal is myself. I do love danger inherently, but I'm not looking to be cool or be a billy badass. Everybody does it for different reasons, there's my reason. I'm not here to be liked or cool, but I have the upmost respect for you guys and if you guys are willing to teach I'm willing to give results. I'll do my best to research and not make redundant posts. Thank you guys for your time. And someone told me I couldn't make it, funny guy.
