n_maher Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Big congrats to your family and your son, Mike. 1
tyrion Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks guys. Pretty damn proud. Fortunately he still has at more then year of training before mom, dad and sister have to worry about deployment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
grawk Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 I didn't realize there was a graduation in the middle. They've rearranged things a bit, I guess. 1
tyrion Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 The graduation was only for this school. The next one will be the final one. To me the medical training should be done closer to the end since it's a perishable skill, but he will have more training after he gets his brevet. It's is the longest MOS block of the bunch in SF. He will do, among other training blocks, 25 weeks of language training, likely Arabic. 1
grawk Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 That's cool. I did a little reading after I posted that, and it looks like they did mix things up a bit. I imagine he's driven enough to succeed, which will be a major accomplishment.

Here's hoping it's Arabic and not Dari.
grawk Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Oh, I bet he gets to practice his medic skills in Q school.

Augsburger Posted March 22, 2017 Report Posted March 22, 2017 Goes to show you how I think differently. I would have opted for Swedish or Italian, go figure. 1

A friend's brother spent 1 tour in afghanistan as a medevac pilot stationed at the swedish army hospital in country.

Believe me, they would be fine alternatives but those won't get him the kind of "experience" he is looking for despite mom and dads' feelings.
