68w mos inignia12/5/2023 ![]() Because every medical person you find in the civilian setting who is a prior service medic, are usually good in class and but the star child of clinicals and job offers. The best medics in the army will make gold standard physicians one day. Because the reality is, your doing both your unit's job and your medical job at the same time. I always say the best medics are the ones who can learn fast and do two jobs at once. That's 4 entirely different positions and functions but you're still expected to be an expert in all things medical. Example so far I have worked as a scout plt medic, line medic, aid station and worked at srp (which is basically a doctor's office). So your expected to be an expert in your assigned position but be flexible/adaptive enough to be transferred to another position very quickly. You will graduate AIT and can be assigned anywhere from a L&D or TMC to a line unit or forward surgical team. Whiskeys are a hyper-specialized but at the same time over generalized MOS. Choose a military occupation from one of the expansion lists below. For some it was just they didn't enjoy post graduate jobs, some looking for a different perspective, some to pay off debt or gain funds for post grad school. COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line) helps service members find information on certifications and licenses related to their military occupation as well as other supporting information. ![]() Weird no, we had a dozen or more college graduates in my BCT/AIT that became whiskeys. The Army’s 68W MOS was manned at about 72 percent in July and expected to reach about 77 by October, according to the spreadsheets. Worth it? Is it totally weird to be 27 and have a college degree and be thinking about enlisting? I'm also a female if that makes any difference. I would mostly be interested in it for the medical training opportunities, and the extra money would be nice while I am a student for the next 4-6 years. I've always been interested in combat/trauma medicine and there seems to be no better place to learn about that than the military, plus it seems like having some military background would be a selling point for getting involved in the emergency/non-traditional medical work I am looking to get into. I'm currently taking pre-requisite courses to go back to school for some sort of medical graduate degree (NP, PA or MD), with the ultimate goal of becoming involved in emergency medicine and hopefully have some opportunities outside of my usual clinical work to do some backcountry medicine, SAR, expedition medicine over the course of my career. I'm 27 and have been working as an EMT and wildland firefighter for a few years. I've been considering this for a couple years now honestly, but I can't seem to come to a decision about it/find the right time to devote to basic and AIT.
