Different Search and Rescue, and Medical (flight medic?)Jobs that have special capabilities?

I know about pararescue, but in the US Military, are there any other career fields that allow you to be a medic that gets into the heavy stuff here and there, in the heat of combat , or just up there in hasty situations? what about flight medics? or let me rephrase that. What path should one take if he wants to be a flight medic? What do flight medics do essentially? or whats another field other than Pararescue which takes lifesaving to a whole new level? srry if this question seems a little weird hey thanks...could I ask you a few more questions on 68w mos jeff? I would appreciate it.

1. I understand. At first it seems like your asking about a line medic. Your best way to be a line medic is to join the army as a 68W (combat medic) and go to airborne school. Stay in good shape and when you get to your unit try to prove your the best, be in good shape, and just know your job. Then you get into stuff; see action and really make a difference. To be a flight medic you join the army as a 68W and then you turn in paperwork to go to flight medic school. Flight medic school is hard, really hard, in fact you only get 1 shot at it and if you fail then thats it; you can never reapply. So if you want to become a flight medic study, there are some good books online you can research, but step 1 is becoming a 68W. Then if you still want to become a flight medic you can also go talk to them and see if its for you. They will take you on a test flight and show you what its like, some people love it, some couldn't do it. But good luck and everything, I'm a medic, been to combat and loved it.
