- This episode of SOLDIERS introduces you to the Army's annual Best Medic competition at Camp Bullis, Texas. 32 teams come to compete from across the Army. We followed a team from the 10th Mountain Division as they return to compete in the competition for a second time. Last year they came in 11th and they are seeking to improve on that. Watch and find out how they do.

The most respected soldier on the battlefield. I know that first hand. I'm a combat vet (OIF 2) who had a medic save my ass after getting hit by a VBIED outside of Mosul , Iraq. To a combat soldier these are our heros Hooah. To all the "Docs" who have served and for those still helping to save lives...Much Respect.
Thank you for your service sir.
Glad we can help you not die

Lol
Glad to know, I myself (even though I am still young) am planning on being a combat medic, not for the fame or anything, just because I like to help others and don’t wanna be in some nursing home or doctors office
@@N00b369 there is no fame in the game. we do the dirty work because it MUST be done. how are you?? did it work out? I am a relatively new medic (1yr out of AIT) & trying to be the best I can be.
@@C00LI0DUDE I am 16 right now, and due to my asthma I think I'll have to go air force instead of army because no one else would allow me in
I'm pleased to see medics getting the recognition they deserve. In my day it was all about Infantry, and getting into SOCOM. It didn't take long for us to figure out the REAL HEROs were medics.
The movie hacksaw ridge helped out a lot
6:09 "How did you break your nose, soldier?" "The medic kept punching me in the face with his ruck!"
HAHHAHAHA lmao
😂😂😂😂
I saw that too lol hahahahaha

I’m living in Cambodia. I’m a Cambodian, but I want to serve for U.S. Military so much. Being an U.S. soldier is my dream since I was young. Sorry for my English. God bless America.
Save up money and you can become a citizen and serve! I wish you the best of luck!!
find a way to get a greencard. thats all.
Get a Green Card and you can join. You don’t need citizenship. Just a green card.😉
A lot of immigrant US warriors are illegal here. They were promised US Citizen ship, a lie. After serving the US a lot of men have gotten deported. The right way is apply for a visa to come here, and hopefully you can apply for citizenship. Trump and Immigration are blocking a lot of entries to US right now. God Bless you.
No one wants to build there nation anymore. Easier joining a foreign nation and gain citizen ship in a more developed nation then being a legend and organizing to better you country and military. That one of the traditional views on the United States.
The best medic will always be desmond doss
Agreed
Very true
I LOVE his story!!!
Agreed
Correct :) that man was truly an amazing person ❤
Medics getting the recognition they deserve!! Respect from a Field Artillery man 🇺🇸
Yo do you enjoy artillery I am thinking about joining as a 13b what’s your experience like
Its crazy to think my grandfather was a medic in the vietnam war.
Just enlisted as a 68w leaving for basic in May 💪🏾🙏🏾
Rubens Alerte yeah same here , you going to Jackson?
@@kettlebellkyle311 hes most likely still in basic training, probably just getting out
Ayyyyyy alerteeee
How many weeks is to be 68W??
Good luck

My dad was a mp at fort drum!! He recently passed away as an officer in the line of duty
Gunzandstuff I'm sorry for your loss
Gunzandstuff sorry for your loss
Gunzandstuff I'm normally a dick but may he Rest In Peace
Sorry for the loss but I know he left a legacy behind
I’m so sorry for your loss :(
I was an Army medic from 1973-1976. We were starting to pull out of Vietnam before I finished AIT, so I was sent to Germany and a part of the 3rd ID for my enlistment. I never saw combat, but participated in numerous wargames including two Reforgers. I was sent to the Expert Field Medic test and passed first time through. I'm proud of serving my country, but from what I've seen of the medic training now days, you men are a lot more advanced than we were. Thanks for all you do!!! Drive On!!🇺🇸
I’m a combat medic. It’s hard but it is so worth it. Best MOS out there.
I want to be a combat medic, could you share your journey to becoming a combat medic? Also thank you for your service.
@@tkbeatz6293 I’m not really sure how to share my journey because there’s so much to say. AIT was hard for me. It’s a very high speed, fast paced course. Growing up I’ve always struggled with learning and school. I went to an alternative school in high school and we didn’t get homework and every test we had was open notes. At AIT they gave us roughly 6 hours of sleep. We never got free time so our study time was always after we got sent to bed. So instead of getting 6 hours I’d get roughly 3. That was mainly for EMT phase. Whiskey I didn’t really study for but you wear full kit everyday for 13 hours so I was always sore but whiskey was pretty fun. We practice everything we learn on each other like IVs and NPAs and tourniquets and CCAs. We would practice needle chest decompressions on dummies as well as surgical crics. Whiskey is exhausting but once you get through EMT you’re almost guaranteed to graduate. They taught us out on the battlefield that everyone relies on medics. If we have no idea what we are doing we still have to act like we do. We keep everyone calm so if the medic says everything is okay then everyone stays calm. We don’t have anyone to rely on, we are the ones that save other people so you can imagine the pressure put onto your shoulders. Everyone loves medics and we all have our own journeys. It is so worth it to go through all of that to be one. None of us regret being a medic. It’s amazing I promise.
@@kyliedaly1306 that’s really cool man. My dream is to be a ranger medic, but being a combat medic in general would fulfill that dream enough. Thank you for your service.
@@kyliedaly1306 I hate tests . Do y’all take a lot of tests? Like tests you have to pass lol
@@kyliedaly1306 bro thank you so much, can you tell me how you adapted to the learning in the EMT phase?
2:25 "I want to do grunt stuff with my friends!" That is why Medics rule
As a Soldier and journalist, and currently working as the marketing and media person in the TXARNG, I’d love to do this kind of storytelling!
I can’t wait to get out there and do god’s work as a soldier, healing our boys!
Great video. Thank you for spot lighting Army Medics.
I’m only 11 and my dad was a marine and so I want to become a medic in the army so I really want to do this after high school
Dont give up on your dreams bud, do what you want to do. Don't let anyone bring you down!
Keep your goals high dude I was in your place before. Just appreciate everything you have now because after high school you’re on your own.
Want to become an officer for the medic Corp join a jrotc highschool or a highschool that has a jrotc program it can teach you alot about leadership. I'm a junior officer training corps cadet myself.
Joseph Oliveras you cant be a medic and an officer being a medic is an enlisted only job
@@devinlindberg253 I'm talking about medical service corps officer
Thanks for this episode I'm enlisting as a 68w soon.
Weldon Gaming did ya enlist yet,
I wish you luck!! Idk if I should choose a 68W or 68C
hahahahaha sucker
@@tianavstheworld what are those
be safe thank you for your service God bless you all
You guys are so strong 💪 Congratulations
i’ve always wanted to be a combat medic even thought i’m a 5”2 girl 😂
Good luck my friend. It has always been my dream to do something medical. I always find a weird satisfaction with the pressure of saving lives while trying to keep my own. But a pre warning if you are naturally good looking than the men in there will tear you down. Just be ready and good luck my friend.
There are plenty of female combat medics many of them being 5'2-5'5 you will be fine
@@jacobmaybe2449 thank you for not being another "you can't do it because you're a girl" type of guy. I see so many of those on military informational videos.
Not sure of 68 Whiskey requirements since I’m an Army Medic from the Canadian Armed Forces, but I serve alongside plenty of people, men and women who are about the same height as you and they are trained Medics as well. You can totally do it! Good luck
Trust me as someone who is 5’4 just get out there and do it
I'm Brazilian, but, become a combat medic of the USA, is my dream since I was a child. I know this will be very difficult, so, every time I'm almost discouraging, I pray, I remember the Desmond Doss's history and I get motivated to persist for a greater good. So, I realy believe that if these plans are of the God's will, one day, I still will wear this uniform! 🇧🇷🇺🇸⛑🪂🎖️✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼
🀄 Blesss you, I hope that you will become all that our King Lord God has and wants for you🙏🙏🙏
I was an army medic..91B...Armor AND Infantry battalions.....a hardcore medic is mad respected by the troops he cares for.
Wait I thought 91B was a mechanic...
Oh I get it! You were a medic for vehicles!
i ship may for 91b. how is 91b, i heard 91b works long ass hours.
@@roadhouse6999 91A and 91B are the old MOS numbers for combat medics. I started as a 91A in 1988, then was reclassified as a 91B a few years later.
@@roadhouse6999I was a 91B 20, and we we're not mechanics!!
I am a soldier in the cyprus army as a medic but this level of trainning is crazy in front of ours
Timos Char and that’s why the US military is the best in the world.
@@HangtownTactical no its because of budget
Top-notch No it’s also to live up to the name
@@top-notch8277 the USA has the mindset that they are the best so they hold themselves to the highest standard.
I was an Army Medic Station at Ft. Drum 10th Mountain 1/87 Inf Battalion HHC!
How was it ?
That was pretty damn HOOAH!
Medics are highly sought after as veterans
Why?
very great!
I'm joining the army this year and I'm happy and nervous at the same time.
My great grandpa was a medic in ww2 others in millitary but marines
So wait for medics they almost seem to be survivalists if on there own I mean I know all military soldiers must have survival knowledge but the medics must know more and of course on top of medical knowledge
I’ve read the bluejacket’s manual, I’m not even in the navy, I am hoping to be a medic when I’m old enough
There are more Medal of Honor recipients who are medic than any other MOS.
Im soon going to join the Canadian armed forces and im so ready i can litteraly be coaching young folks to become great bodybuilder and have a great self esteem
Going in as 68w in August 😁
john paul lojobo congrats! And good luck
Camp Bullis -- been a while.
good job everyone!
Medic is always a hero
Amazing just amazing omg these people are just strong!
They should open this up to Corpsman, and let us compete!
I was a USAF medic in 1965-1969. I worked in the Flight Surgeon's' Office and never got to do a third of the things that I was trained to do. Bummer!
Best medic team that year was the team from the 75th Ranger Regiment
Went through in 1993, got 2nd. Hello everyone!!
Going to enlist after college as a 68W in the Army National Guard
cheeseball 47 wish u luck bud :)
cheeseball 47 good luck
Why not go officer if you're finishing college?
Good luck!!
Yo medic school sucks. I mean its pretty cool. But its kind of awful
I want to join because of bad company 2. Me and my buddies all going to enlist and make a kick ass career.
Climb to glory
I dont know much about it but i want to be a medic in the army when i grow up
Yes, me too. There’s something about it that pulls me. Like I’m a fly and that job is a light. I just can’t help but continually look at Combat Medic as a dream.
Same 4 more years to go!
this video is interesting
Is that a retro AFN Heidelberg? Back when there was a base in Heidelberg ?
A peach rings fan, I like it
Props to the cameraman going in A literal battlefield
Александр Васильевич Суворов: «легко в учении - тяжело в походе, тяжело в учении - легко в походе».
По-русски говоря: тяжело в учении - легко в бою.
What does it really take to be a 68W? A GED
I have been out there saving lives without all the equipment but here's the deal I'm still saving lives
This is how you do recruiting!
Only 39k subscibers (is the Spelling right?)? Even the German "Bundeswehr" Channel has 200k
i want to be one of them
Army strong...hoooahhhhhh.......
My future!
That shot of Grand Central Station in NYC at the beginning was so random and unnecessary
Do I have to go through boot camp to become a flight medic or just go into it?
Every soldier goes through boot camp
No just trying to get to the bottom of this figured out I can’t see I’m blind
Be Me. Alpha Company Medic ⛑️

i can relate. i was the best medic in battlefield 4. my boys depended on me, leaned on me, and always said the most inspiring things. like, " stop spamming the fucking noob tube mike, your gunna get us kicked off this server".
"how they got a blackbox warning instead of forced into being promoted properly, kinda like the alcohol and tobacco"
6:09 ouch!
eschaia Nepovim Bois face got smashed
What are they using at 6:47 to carry the patient?
skedco aka a sked
18D boys are multiple times for skilled and advanced in medicine than 68W
More
It's almost like W4 is closed for most people.
man looks like EliGe and Skadoodle
How long is AIT for 68w?
•Skylar Reese• 4 months
Dessmond doss:hold my salad
They’re both 18D’s now
I expected to see any tf2 reference and yet I haven't found any
It takes a couple of paddles a Medkit and the offensive perk.........please tell me anyone got the reference here's a hint it starts with battle and ends with 4
FB I battle niggas 4 is my favorite game
Fuck you're cringe
can i just go around and show them cats video?
More than likely the guys that helped make this video are twenty-five victors
Want to become a 68w after high school, how often does medics see combat?
Depends on a lot of things. Mostly on how bad you want to be in an infantry unit. Just join up and go for it man
A lot less than he sees a motorpool
Why does this remind me of getting yelled at by my friends and also almost getting hit on the head by my friends that day things weren't fun my arm was red because for a week because she tried to hit on the head and of course she lied and said I hit her then my other friend called me a monster for hitting her I was about to laugh because it was so funny when she lied🤣 my life isn't so fun with them besides when they try so hard to hurt me that's hilarious I don't know why it's probably because there Younger than me
My life is hard
Without pay
BRAZIL,Verry Nice u.s Army
I want to join the British army as a combat medic but I don’t want to use a gun just like the hero Desmond doss
Takeaway: in the army its acceptable to quit as long as someone else has quit first
Can anyone tell me if you can join the army now with a GED?
Yes you can.
Yup you have to score higher on the asvb tho
Gotcha like how high does it have to be does it need to above 40 or 50 cause I'm pretty sure the lowest is 30 right and that's infantry If I'm not mistaken.
@@johnbowen3523
I don't remember right of the back but its anywhere to 10-30 points higher than graduates
Edit: It does say 50 on the asvab
@@marcopasta6274 thanks brother!
Is being a combat medic still considered infantry?
No. But we wont call you a pog
in the Corps a good Doc was a shooter as well. Id put mine on windows, stairs, etc and he was always another shooter til we needed his medical skills. Greenside Corpsmen are actually considered Honorary Marines once they earn their FMF insignia
6:08 Is it normal for the patient to get a big ass ruck to the face like that?
Going "Out there" when you had really rather not.
"Stick and Move, baby!" You might scream for your god but you pray for a medic. 1st ID HHC 1/16 INFANTRY [Mech] Medical Platoon, Evac Section callsign Crazy Jake. DUTY FIRST!!!

Thought I'd see more of what combat medics actually DO. Instead we saw over-weight older guys mugging for the camera telling us nothing.
They have to keep part of it a mystery, others wanting to compete and such, keep the surprise
Hell, they do make it look sexy.😉
What if your kids see this
The best medic is medic in tf2
dustoff 21 actual prepare for 9 line *break

I know the answer: go join the navy as a corpsman
Joshua Ng I did that
The best Medic's are Navy FMF hospital Corpsman
I’ve worked with corpsman and you’re right they are better at clinical skills. The best field medic or medical provider is the army’s combat medic literally all of the protocols we have today is because of Army SF Medics doing crazy things to save people’s lives and passing it directly down to combat medics!
Stop it, clowns. The best medic is 18D in the military.
Can you start as a 68w and become 18D?
@@parrotsparty2836 as a direct route, no... You're still gonna have to go to selection and get selected and finish the Q course as a 18D mos. Might as well go 18x...
