I was to go to 3 adfa in germany as training officer, but didnt extend my SSC and left at that point. would have loved it, but left to get married! the QAs generally didnt want to go field in any way. about 20 % did and really wanted to be rmoas and get into green units. looks like nothing has changed. basicaly if you want to nurse-its better to stay in hospital or rear field units. if you want to do paramedicine and extended role nursing-field is the way to go. everything I did as an rmoa helped me go down the remote and austere medicine route, and i have done a modified rmoa role in civvie life for 20 years now, from europe to china via russia, the stans, the kents and south east asia. one advantage of army service is folk in the civvie world think you are superbly trained and experienced, and compared to the nhs equivalent-you are. whether ward or field unit, you are better placed to get that promotion or higher post in the civvie world.
