The less I think about home and how tired I am the better
I’ve found my moods. I’ve made a couple goals for myself on this underway.
There are some work related qualifications I’d like to get. I’ve been slowly
working on them during some of my down time has helped. I’ve passed a couple
oral boards so far and I have one more in mind. I am also trying to branch out
from the normal FC pipeline and get what quals I can in the medical dept. These
are more personal goals as no one expects these quals from me.
I’ve been able to participate and contribute to CPR and
first aid training on the ship. I have also helped with a couple mass casualty
drills. Drills and training are fantastic! It’s a good way to keep my mind
fresh and familiar, but I want more! Lol. In my persistence wearing down my
chief corpsman and demonstrating I kinda have a clue about what I am doing, I
will be starting some basic corpsman quals. This will mean I can actually
perform limited medical procedures; administering vaccines, takin vitals, drawing
blood ect… I have even been cleared to standby as emergency medical support for
certain evolutions and respond to medical emergencies as they may happen on the
ship.
I’m not entirely sure of my end goal, but I know I want to
be in the health care field. Right now, this is my best option. I only pray
that it works out.
