@@JRTCandFortJohnson is the program hard?

[@golfery5119]

@@lydiakogo1703 No answer in 2 months, so I'll give you an answer. Yes, the program is pretty difficult. You're cramming college work with information you might be unfamiliar with (like medical terminology) coming at you hard and fast like 100 miles an hour and you're going to be doing exams like 2 or 3 times a week. On top of this is the military nonsense you have to deal with, and sorry to say that the Army is even stricter and more ridiculous than the Navy and Air Force are. You'll be doing lab testing where you won't know what an instructor will give you and it is pretty harrowing and stressful because you'll be timed 7 minutes for the first view of a routine and five minutes for subsequent views. If you aren't perfect, then that's points taken off, but if you mess up the wrong with then you can get a "zero" Yeah the program is pretty damn hard.

I'd like to offer my humble opinion as a formerly enlisted US Army 68P; The schoolhouse when I went through was down Joint-Base Sam Houston it is 46 weeks (11-12 months with report times included) It's challenging but there's definitely resources available to help you learn. If a person would simply apply yourself, cut out the crazy stuff and take this opportunity seriously it's one of the very best programs available in the Army. You'll also get qualified to your national registry (ARRT). If you'll use your time management skills correctly while on AD because you're just doing shift work (in the military of all places 😮) you can moonlight in the civilian sector as a technologist and make some extra cash with your X-Ray qualification. Awesome opportunity huh Not saying it's for everyone but when you'll get out of military as not everyone's gonna stay and do 20 years you can go to work in a profession that'll earn depending upon your area * $55k-$135k. (Again not too bad)
