If you plan to be an officer you can't have a BAR. Medics aren't allowed to carry weapons, but apparently can pick up fallen weapons.

A medic with a machine gun? That's not only against the Geneva Convention but also nothing that the US Army would ever do. Also medics are enlisted soldiers not NCO's. lieutenant isn't a rank a medic could be. Just a little bit of advice from our current friendly neighborhood medic character.

Alright, couldn't remember if they could during World War Two, oh and I forget as a officer do I lodge with the others in the company or am I not allowed to file into formation? Sorry don't do military RPs much.

Ferret, a lieutenant is a Commisioned Officer, Corporal to any type of Sergeant= NCO.

Oh my god I need to learn to read better.
Anyways, I'd prefer that if you're a medic you're not an officer.
Also, I'd prefer if you had an M1 Garand or Carbine(medics did carry weapons during WWII).
This is directed at Avalon for lack of clarification.

Under the Geneva conventions medics are only allowed to carry a sidearm for protection in case of self defense or the defense of the wounded and carrying any firearm other than that strikes them from their protection as a medic on the battlefield.

Well I am a combat troop, plus the Germans will capture and torture me like any other man out there, they will still fire upon me despite this patch, so if I may I will take the risk.

From Wikipedia:

In 1864, sixteen European states adopted the First Geneva Convention to save lives to alleviate the suffering of wounded and sick military personnel, and to protect trained medical personnel as civilians, in the act of rendering aid.

Chapter IV, Article 25 of the Geneva Convention states that "Members of the armed forces specially trained for employment, should the need arise, as hospital orderlies, nurses or auxiliary stretcher-bearers, in the search for or the collection, transport or treatment of the wounded and sick shall likewise be respected and protected if they are carrying out these duties at the time when they come into contact with the enemy or fall into his hands." Article 29 reads "Members of the personnel designated in Article 25 who have fallen into the hands of the enemy, shall be prisoners of war, but shall be employed on their medical duties insofar as the need arises."

According to the Geneva Convention, knowingly firing at a medic wearing clear insignia is a war crime.[2]

In modern times, most combat medics carry a personal weapon, to be used to protect themselves and the wounded or sick in their care.[3] When and if they use their arms offensively, they then sacrifice their protection under the Geneva Conventions. These medics are specifically trained.[4]
Everybody read this!

Okay sorry I fucked up the lingo but medics aren't commissioned officers then. They are, as I said, enlisted soldiers. A rank for medic that would be like that of lieutenant would be Sergeant.

Let me just point something out to you.

Your character, at least right now, is currently 3 roles in one. Medic, CO, and automatic rifleman. You can only choose one. Unless your character is some high ranking person in the medical field, like a surgeon, then it'd be okay for them to hold the rank of lieutenant. If not, then you have to choose between CO, medic, or an automatic rifleman.

It's not that hard to realize the Nazis had no care in the world whether they were committing war crimes or not
And don't try to school me on WWII knowledge. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese cared whether a soldier was a medic or not, they fired on everyone.

EDIT: And after one sentence of dialogue I am already loving Robert

Yeah... the nazis. Not German soldiers though. There is a massive difference.

Nazi SS are different from the Wermacht, the Wemracht tended to follow the convention be used if they were taken prisoner most would have wanted to be treated humanely. As for the Japanese, they really didn't care.

If you're calling the Wehrmacht Nazis then I take offense to that.

No, everyone in the RP is in Easy Company.

That's basically what I was trying to find out.

Okay...I'll come up with an app then.

[The Ferret Revolution]

Did Volvek really drop out because I joked about burning an American flag?

[United Kingdom of Poland]

uh NP, you forgot to add me to the accepted player list. also good job nailing sobel down.

[Volvek]

Oh my God. Someone who knows their stuff!

I am tired of people calling every German soldier during WWII merciless killers.

I'm also tired of being blamed for the holocaust -.-

And Ferret, I don't like those jokes. I find them very offensive.

[Holy Empire of Avalon]

<.< Damn man, that joke is like threatening someones granny, no he is here, oh and any suggestions for finding a WWII Medic photo? I considered just using Steve Rogers and putting a medic emblem on him at this point XD
