When it comes to studying khan academy is a free resource they offer comprehensive health and medcine/ College AP Bio/Chem courses. They have plenty videos and test for you to do which best suits my learning style. It's free so you can practice as much as you want and increase your practical knowledge. Then find local BLS/CPR courses they're like a week long for technical knowledge doing all this prior to becoming an air men(4N0X1) in a few years. Also considering getting my associates so I can start out with higher ranking/pay. Good luck to everyone interested hopefully this helped someone.

Hi there! Thank you! You have some great goals! 4N0 is definitely a great way to go in terms of your goals! No other enlisted job translates as well to you becoming a LPN and then RN.

Hello! So you can apply for the HPSP program where they will pay for you to go to Nursing School. OR you can wait and use your GI Bill to go to school after your active duty time is done! It depends on which route you want to take. As a medic you will have enough school credits to become an LPN, but that is something you will have to do on your own time, to challenge the LPN test.

I'm currently at Fort Sam right now in tech school as a 4N0X1, about 2/3 of the way through the program. The information he gives in this video is definitely still accurate a few years later, and the advice he gives is also very helpful. I was one of the ones who didn't necessarily want this job going into basic but I've learned to love it since then. If you want to get your start in the medical field this is definitely the right AFSC to go for since you can build off of it pretty easily and it gives you a very good foundation to do that if your dream is to become a Nurse, PA, Doctor, etc. Yes the tech school is challenging and you WILL need to study to pass your tests, but to my knowledge the harder the tech school, the better the job. I strongly suggest anyone who has this job or wants it to watch this video prior to leaving for basic or as you're starting your tech school and take his advice.
