RM medic or RAMC

[rc951]

hi

i'm a qualified doctor working in the NHS. I am training with 144 para at the moment and am soon hoping to become a regular in the forces. however i have one problem....I am fairly fit and want to serve with a forward and active unit and dont not know whether to join the army or navy. I am lead to believe that if i join the army i will become part of the RAMC and serve with any unit. If i get my wings then i may serve with the paras or 16 Air Assualt but there are no guarentees. However, i have been informed that if i join the navy and pass the All Arms Commando course then i will only serve with the marines. Is that true? Any information, feed back will be apreciated.

Crack the AACC and you will serve with the Royal Marines.

I've replied to you in the Army forum, but in essence Artist is on the money.

Are you looking to join as a doctor? If so, excellent money, but no matter what unit you serve with you'll be no further forward than a field hospital...actually getting out on the ground is the preserve of (I hate to use the term) less valuable MAs.

Just a thought...
