PATIENCE- It takes time to do the impossible. Takes hard work to get anywhere. And it takes never giving up when it comes to the NSW world. A friend I served with has been kind enough to share a bit about his path and the difficulty of his program SARC HM. This is going to be a long post, the pictures are graphic, and faces are covered to protect these war fighters. To all those who want be a part of the tribe, head the words———————————————————
“Undesignated SN 3 years (FFG-58), PS3 for 2 years at NOSC Greenville, Cross-rated to HM and began the pipeline, as follows:
-HM "A" School
-FMTB
-Basic Reconnaissance Course
-Special Operations Combat Medic
-SFMS/SOIDC (additional 4 months of SOCM, for Army SF 18D and Navy SOIDC)
-Army Airborne
-Dive Medicine
-Marine Combatant Diver
All in all, the pipeline is about 3 years long and now Im at 1st Marine Raider Batt. We are professional gun fighters and professional medical providers all in one with our specialty being point of injury treatment, MEDEVAC/CASEVAC, prolonged field care (PFC), surgical and anasthesia capabilities, combatant dive and jump qualified. The job demands alot and you must be willing and able to exceed all demands. We are warriors amongst warriors, and those warriors are amongst a SARC. For everyone coming up and looking to do the job I’d like them to understand that it’s a long and arduous pipeline. Everyday is a new day to pass or fail”. —L—
