How to Get Promoted Houston Medical Response Group Texas Medical Rangers
Things to consider: • This reviews the education requirements for promotion. • Some Medical Rangers are not interested in promotions – the pay is the same at any rank – we are all volunteers. • Pay might be available in some emergencies, but it is not ‘in the plan’ at this time. • Sometimes there may be limited reimbursement for some expenses – but there may not be, also. • We are a volunteer agency. Welcome volunteer! • [more]
A Caution: • Some of the following requirements ‘don’t make sense’ at this time for Medical Rangers. • Much of the rest of the State Guard is based on military police job descriptions. • So - some [but not all] education requirements have military police components. These should change eventually for Medical Rangers, but they have not changed yet.
How to use tool: • Step 1 – Ask yourself whether you were appointed as a Medical Ranger in the “Army Style” or “Air Force Style”. Most people are Army Style. • Step 2 – Go to the correct section - Army or Air Force • Step 3 – Find your current rank • Step 4 – Do ‘all the things’ required up and including your current rank plus the requirements for the next rank to fulfill the educational requirement. • Step 5 – Note that there is time in the Guard requirement for most promotions. • Step 6 – Ask for help with things you don’t understand.
