Finishing up Medics Course

This week was our last official week in the medic’s course.

While most of our time was spent returning our gear and signing off on a few paper work issues, we did have a very big tests.

The first test was the misdar Mamag (the Mamag is in charge of all the medics’ course in Bad 10. (Bad 10 is the army's Medical Training School.)) he knows everything there is about medics and our course (including the tiny details that one might forget very easily when looking at the big picture. In his misdar, he could ask us anything he wants (including the tiny details which one might forget when looking at the big picture) or have us perform any number of tasks that we have learned in the course. Thankfully we all passed this and with his approval graduated the course.

Once we finished the Misdar, everything became a lot easier. We started relaxing and having fun with our commanders.

On the last night, we broke distance with our commanders. When someone breaks distance it means that we finally get to see them as real people and not our commanders. We get to know their real names, where they come from and a lot more personal information about them. We also get to joke around with them, making impressions and remembering all the funny stuff that happened in class.

Then on Wednesday, we finally finished the course for good. After a brief tekes (ceremony), where we were each awarded pins, we were allowed to go home and leave Bad 10 for the last time.
