.78 was kind enough yet again to send valuable information on becoming a medic contracting overseas. This is for qualifications for contracting overseas with weapons qualifications along with Pt test which are either super easy exams or hardcore like you’re in the military with a “pipeline” to “weed out people who can’t pass a physical” . It makes sense because , if you’re going to a warzone or harsh area, they want to make sure you’re a good investment $ for their companies or organizations. From what I heard , people who have never fired automatic weapons like the SAW, 240 , .50 cal and etc generally failed because they either never shot weapon systems like this or , over compensate/ over think the process. For executive protection , PSS/ PSD, and other contracts , they have their own processes/ “pipelines” or similar qualifications but , it depends who you want to work for like , Triple canopy, Garda, UG, and etc. But, if you want to be emt , medic , nurse or provider overseas, some places have like mini boot camps, pipelines, or academies you have to go through like military or public safety. But usually, it’s pistol , shotgun, rifles , and autos for some contracts . There’s even contracts with shotguns vs drone qualifications to which is an over glorified s***t / trap shooting hitting mobile targets on the ground, water , or air. Very fascinating world to be in but unfortunately, sometimes you have to go through a lot of hoops to get the jobs / life you want especially contracting overseas. Let us know what you think in the comments below and for some of you military to public safety folks, what do you think about the qualifications/ “pipeline” concept ? It sucks starting from scratch when you get out of the military / personal experience and I been to a couple academies myself before and after the military. It can get hard if you’re older too but, still doable. Thank you again .78 for the information many asked about qualifying to work overseas as medical provider who go into harms way. 🫀🧠🫁
