Additional information
The career I am on the fence with is a royal marine sniper or a combat medic. Both I feel like I can do but I have to choose which I feel better doing.

Combat Medical Technician
Hi, as a CMT you will be able to gain qualifications as a EMT/Paramedic and can also work alongside Commandos if you do your all arms course, the RAMC is a Tri -service organisation so skills will be pretty much the same to work in each environment, even though you'd be able to work alongside them you wouldn't be able to become a sniper, should you become a CMT however you can also do Team medic courses as a marine which is not the same as a CMT but allows you to do some medical. I do advise thinking long term and what you want to do 10 years or so down the line to.
