WEBVTT 00:04.140 --> 00:07.110 being an independent record . Mint is 00:07.120 --> 00:10.910 the best job in the Navy because it is 00:10.910 --> 00:13.830 the most versatile career choice that 00:13.830 --> 00:17.130 we have . We are trained and 00:17.130 --> 00:20.670 qualified in many different skill sets 00:20.680 --> 00:24.010 as well as prepared to go on any 00:24.010 --> 00:26.250 platform . The Navy has 00:32.140 --> 00:34.251 the difference between a general duty 00:34.251 --> 00:36.460 Corman and an independent duty Corman 00:36.470 --> 00:39.960 is the general duty . Corman is able to 00:40.540 --> 00:43.820 walk a patient into a room , find out 00:43.820 --> 00:45.987 what's wrong with them and communicate 00:45.987 --> 00:48.790 that to a provider . The I . D . C . Is 00:48.790 --> 00:49.750 that provider 00:55.140 --> 00:57.500 and I . D . C . Is responsible for a 00:57.500 --> 00:59.667 lot of other duties other than patient 00:59.667 --> 01:02.490 care . The I . D . C . On a smaller 01:02.490 --> 01:04.930 independent platform is responsible for 01:04.940 --> 01:07.540 a lot of environmental services and 01:07.540 --> 01:09.596 doing the monitoring and tracking of 01:09.596 --> 01:11.830 those programs . A naughty C . Is 01:11.830 --> 01:13.997 responsible for reporting things up to 01:13.997 --> 01:16.108 the chain of command and keeping that 01:16.108 --> 01:17.774 china came in and the note of 01:17.774 --> 01:19.941 everything they possibly can medically 01:20.240 --> 01:23.530 the patient care is again , a small 01:23.530 --> 01:25.920 fraction of that . But the programs 01:25.920 --> 01:28.120 that not easy is responsible for is 01:28.120 --> 01:30.460 what makes that ship being able to 01:30.460 --> 01:31.060 deploy 01:36.540 --> 01:39.020 the benefits of becoming a I . D . C . 01:39.030 --> 01:41.950 R . Advancement opportunities not just 01:41.950 --> 01:45.760 from E . 5 to 86 but the 45 01:45.770 --> 01:48.210 out of I . D . C . School as well as 01:48.220 --> 01:51.060 enrolling into a associates and 01:51.060 --> 01:54.050 bachelor's degree program and going to 01:54.050 --> 01:56.217 different commands . There's different 01:56.217 --> 01:59.510 incentives as well . Ddgs cruisers , L . 01:59.510 --> 02:01.910 C . S . S . And some of the special 02:01.910 --> 02:03.632 warfare groups are independent 02:03.632 --> 02:05.466 platforms . In those independent 02:05.466 --> 02:08.650 platforms come with incentive pays for 02:08.660 --> 02:11.340 an independent duty . I would tell a 02:11.340 --> 02:14.260 sailor that the award may not be on 02:14.260 --> 02:16.700 paper but the most challenging platform 02:16.700 --> 02:18.533 tends to be the most rewarding . 02:23.840 --> 02:27.790 There are many resources to get a 02:27.790 --> 02:30.012 sailor in the right direction to become 02:30.012 --> 02:32.440 an I . D . C . Speaking with the 02:32.450 --> 02:34.370 department or the command career 02:34.370 --> 02:36.540 counselor will help that sailor get 02:36.540 --> 02:38.720 pointed in the right direction . The 02:38.730 --> 02:41.930 major prerequisite that is looked at 02:41.930 --> 02:44.870 highly upon is that time being under 02:44.870 --> 02:47.750 the supervision of a another I . D . C . 02:47.760 --> 02:51.460 So 60 hours of clinical time 02:51.470 --> 02:53.192 with an I . D . C . Under that 02:53.192 --> 02:56.210 supervision learning some skills . Um 02:56.210 --> 02:58.154 Getting familiar with being in the 02:58.154 --> 03:00.850 patient care room and having some level 03:00.850 --> 03:04.350 of comfort in seeing a patient is our 03:04.360 --> 03:06.860 most significant prerequisite . That 03:06.870 --> 03:08.926 time with that I . D . C . Will then 03:08.926 --> 03:11.550 get you in a recommendation letter from 03:11.550 --> 03:13.920 that independent duty Corman which is 03:13.930 --> 03:16.930 um significant to submitting a package 03:16.940 --> 03:18.996 during that clinical time . You will 03:18.996 --> 03:21.520 not 100% gain the knowledge that 03:21.520 --> 03:23.830 clinical time is about building network 03:23.830 --> 03:26.820 with I . D . C . S . As well as helping 03:26.820 --> 03:28.931 learn a little bit of that confidence 03:28.931 --> 03:31.690 in that room . Becoming the I . D . C . 03:31.690 --> 03:34.420 Was the best thing that I did for me 03:34.420 --> 03:38.370 and my career because I was looking 03:38.370 --> 03:40.592 for that challenge . And as I . D . C . 03:40.592 --> 03:42.926 To be considered the ultimate challenge , 03:42.926 --> 03:44.814 I will tell a sailor who wants to 03:44.814 --> 03:47.790 become an I . D . C . Be motivated and 03:47.790 --> 03:50.680 come . And everything that you may have 03:50.680 --> 03:53.770 questions to look for is here in the I . 03:53.770 --> 03:54.660 D . C . Community .
