Hi there
Ex AGC -now accountant in the NHS. Last in green kit - 2007
Ex HCA - Trauma & Orthopedics, Psych Grad. Last in green kit (HCA) around 2012. Vocational NVQ.
I want to join the TA as a CMT to a unit. However, I'm trying to work out if I can add value in a role.
I keep hearing that CMTs are essentially paramedics. The WO2 of the unit (logistics) I am looking at is saying that they don't send their medics for training until 10 years.
I am consious that I want to see if I can translate what I have done in the NHS to the army. I don't care about being a paramedic necessarily, I just want to be competent and ideally get my Lance Jack tape back. I'd also like to do one last 'hurrah' if possible and want to make sure I can be of use if this is possible.
However if Class 1 is neccesary for promotion, I'm not sure how this is translated in the reserves?
There is a field hospital what seems more interested in doctors near me, there is some good chats I have had with the SSM of a logistics outfit that I am more inclined to go with.
Grateful if anyone could give some advise.
I have posted to the Reserves forum, but I wanted to try this forum as you guys are the subject matter experts.
