Day-2-Day/ Traumatic?
I have always been interested in the field but I have a strange question. If I choose HM, how often if at all would I be put in a position where I have to see people with broken bones? I dont know what the day-to-day tasks are, other than seeing them take vitals and such. Im not afraid of blood, but I hate seeing people in a ton of pain. Im okay with helping in the labor and delivery because that stuff doesnt scare me either.
Im sorry if I sound crazy trying to get into a field that has opportunities for me to see things that I may not want to see. LoL |
Depends on the command for sure, like every job. They see it all. My brother is an HM2(FMF) and I have heard plenty of stories from him and his buddies.
If there's any part of you that's not %100 in it I might look into something else. |
Completely depends on where you end up. You could end up doing emergency room work or maybe in the pharmacy or dental.
No matter where you end up they're going to train you for the job you're expected to do. They aren't just going to throw you in there and expect you to perform without being taught first. /r CTT1 |
so how long is A-School then if HM's do it all? LoL

I'm in A-school right now, I actually graduate Tuesday, and I've been here since April 3d. If that gives you any idea

2. Idcs truly do it all. And that nec is a 400 day school followed by clinicals and is hands down one of the hardest programs an enlisted individual in the navy can participate in in terms of academics right up with nuke school. 3. Yes you see blood bones vomit and death.. but youll get used to it.. trust me... the navy has techniques to fix sqeamishness |

As far as "fixing the squeamishness" it cant be "fixed" but it gets better over time. Some get used to it fast, others don't. I may not be a HM, but I am a vet tech and I have seen some of the kids that intern with us faint, vomit and basically turn green...my own boys had to get used to it rather fast as we raise livestock and we home butcher...you might find it isn't so much what you see, but the smells...just know it does get easier over time.
