medic....
anyway, yes medic is randomly selected. but there are cases where for example drivers who fail their driving test were being revocated to medics.
so i suppose you can't do anything about it. either sign on or hope for lady luck. -
quite high. medic is quite a common vocation.Originally posted by bladez87:what are the chances? -
Sadly, I think I can safely say that SMM is one of the dumping grounds of the SAF.
I've seen far too many cases of trainees from other courses who go out of course only to get revocated as medics.

SMM is now known as MTI..
Seek, Save, Serve, MEDIC! -
chances are higher if u are studying bio stuff.
most of my platoon mates have a diploma of biotech, biomedical and some chemical too etc. -
Just pray you aren't made a combat medic in an infantry or guards battalion. You have to carry the stretcher (ok, so you can use it as a bed when no one is looking) and your medical bag along with a rifle and stuff.
It's right up there with being an 84 gunner/loader. But at least you get to fire the darn 84 whereas how often will you get to sleep on a stretcher.
The only nice thing I can think of being a combat medic in a "legs" unit is that the men are really nice to you and you are generally left to your own devices in the field (no extra duties like digging the laterines, etc). -
