medicineman said:Maybe a direct question then - Are Reg Force Med Techs required to do the SQ?
Armymedic said:Forgive me for any inaccuracy as I am not 100% in the loop with this, but Reg Force training goes as follows...
Basic, St Jean
QL 3, CFHSA Borden
OJT, driving, comms, BTLS done at unit level
QL5,
PLQ
QL6A
PA Course,
As far as I know regular force medics do not do an SQ (They should, IMHO, but they don't)
medicineman said:Training for SAR - take a dive course to make sure you won't have problems later on, Mountain Ops if you can, and taking any medical course that comes down the pipe. Basically pad your resume with like minded courses and maybe some volunteer work. Oh yeah, that really important thing - GET REALLY FIT.

I think your right. When i did my Sq (2 years ago) there were medics on the courseswanita said:I could be wrong but i'm under the impression that ALL trades to up to SQ & then go onto their trades courses.
