Hello,I am currently in sixth form studying alevels in PE and business as well as BTEC science and i have been looking into a future career in the military, I have always wanted to work in emergency medicine a role similar to a paramedic but within the armed forces.I have been looking at the combat medic and would like to know what it involves but have heard its more of an 'admin' role is this true? .I have also been looking at becoming a nurse within the military and i have seen both the registered and student nurse route, the student one would be my preferred choice but i have heard its very competitive, is this true? if so approximately how many student nurses do they accept per year? when i have been looking at the nursing role there isn't much information on the day to day jobs, is it like caring on wards etc or is there a front line/emergency element?Since i have done my alevels and the combat medic dosen't require them, i don't just want to waste the qualifications therefore is it worth going down the combat medic route if i have spent time in further education or would it be best to progress onto university and go down the nursing route, or will there be advancement within the combat medic role?My final question is in terms of future progression, if i was to join as a combat medic both physically and financially, is there opportunities to progress for example commission as an officer/ go up in the ranks, if so what are the potential progression routes? and what does the pay roughly scale at (is it similar to a paramedic) as the websites say £20,000 but i just wanted some sort of information on what that actually means.Thank you, any information/advice would be much appreciated.
