PRT starting at 0530. Classes begin at 0800. Lunch for about
60 minutes at 1100 or 1200. Period of Instruction ends at about 1500-1700. A
few of the many topics we covered: Leadership Doctrine, Leadership
Communication, Operational Terms and Graphics, Joint Medical Capabilities, The
Medical Platoon, Convoy Operations, Finance, SHARP, Equal Opportunity
Briefings, Patient Movement, The Army Profession, and much much more. There is
a Starbucks, Subway, and mini-PX on the bottom floor of the AMEDD C&S. A
lot of students would buy coffee or energy drinks during the breaks to keep
awake.
Key Events in Week 1-3.
APFT: We had our APFT on Day 3 and 4. Do your absolute best
to get a 300/300 as not many do. Furthermore, a 300/300 score will be recorded
on your Academic Evaluation Report.
Mid-Term Exam. We had the mid-term in Week 3. Ours covered
everything from prior lessons. It was made easier by a study guide which was
provided. The test is extremely hard to
fail and I do not think anyone in the entire Class 147 did. That said, while
the Mid-Term had many scoring 90% or higher, there were not many who scored a
100%. If I recall correctly, only 3/40 in our Platoon scored 100/100 on both
the Mid-Term and the Final. So while the tests are easy to pass, do your
absolute best and try and score a 100% since this is your profession and should
be taken seriously. I do not believe that only filling out and reviewing the
study guide is enough to score a 100%; you will have to review the slides also.
A 100% will help set you apart for an Exceeds Course Standards on your AER too.
