Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct place and I've read most of the other articles of similar titles.
I am having major issues transferring to the med corps. I signed up to be a medic. Before I signed up I held a paramedic qualification and a university degree, 7 years study all told. The degree is not related to medicine, but its still a degree.
I was a month away from starting training at Alexander barracks when I received an email basically saying 'because you're Irish, you can't get security clearance to be a medic, join this regiment and transfer'. So I did. I got to batallion and then applied to transfer 4 times and waited 6 months for an OC's interview. That was a month ago. I have spoken to my oc, the Rcmo of my unit, the padre, anyone who will listen. And I'm getting nothing in return.
So I'm wondering if I could email the Rcmo in charge of the RAMC and explain the situation in full. Perhaps something might be done if the right people are made aware of the fact that a qualified paramedic is guarding a gate, suffering skill fade in a job he neither wanted nor signed up for?
