[@ItsFreakoBaby]

U may not know it but this vid just changed my life!!!!

[@imtheoperatorttv637]

This is my Senior Drill Sergeant at AIT, she's awesome

[@dearestfuture_me]

Thank you so much Ricky for allowing me to share your platform. I love being a 68W and am glad that I could help shed a little light on our job. Not a lot of people know what we really do or how versatile the job is.

[@captainuseless1071]

This was really informative and made me more confident in choosing 68W for my MOS. Gonna be leaving for basic soon!

[@titojesusmane9540]

You in basic now?

[@Jayyyyyyssss]

Just got my GED & realized how long I was holding MYSELF back . This video is helping me move forward possibly with 68w .

68w....no combat and dealing with wound care for 4 years. Glad I'm a real medic now.

68w option 4 I ship on the 4th. Been trying to get a head start on what to expect. I appreciate this video

[@jacobmaybe2449]

I want to do the exact same thing. I am just kind of scared to talk to a recruiter because I have a juvenile record.

[@PaulIsbell]

This is one of the BEST videos I have seen on 68w. Now, is the National Guard able to perform similar tasks as active duty? This is really appealing to me, however with my family and college responsibilities, I would love to be able to be stationed within my home state.

[@mikebox]

one of the best videos about this subject ever..

[@raheemb1976]

This gave me courage ! I got qualified for a few medical jobs and this one was my veryyyyyyy last because I was scared but u changed my mind

[@TheAsianOfChaos]

How likely am I to deploy into a combat zone as a 68W I’m going to enlist but I don’t want to be stuck in the states if that’s the case I’ll enlist as a 11B

[@jneihc4350]

Is it better to be a 68w in national guard or the regular Army?

I really want to be an rn! But I’m scared to get out of the army

Is 68W available for Rangers?

So what If enter the forces already with my EMT Certs completed? Will that count towards anything ?

You won’t have to take the first portion of ait. You’ll go straight into whiskey phase

[@ciscodeleon4156]

how is the traveling life of this? I got the scores that qualify and it is also available so I am considering this as my MOS. This is for the National Guard by the way.

[@nukedoutninja612]

[@christianc7420]

Is there a guarantee to be attached to an infantry unit?

[@TheOfficialRickyBowden]

In most cases you probably will. Especially if you mention that’s what you want

[@jasonfields7058]

No, there is no guarantee . What happens is that you will put into a medical unit an then you have to try out to be part of a line unit. Basically you have to be just as fit as the infantry to keep up and pass the tryouts.

[@leeee2600]

Heading to basic 07/27 😶 68W will be my MOS. I’m nervous af!!!! On my future soldier portal I saw ‘68w1’ . How Is that different from just 68w? Thanks for the video btw!

After 7 years of studying to become a law enforcement and never gotten accepted into any P.D., I’m deciding to change my career join. As a 26 year old male, will joining the army as a 11B and 68W, will that help me to become a paramedic after doing 2 or 3 years of active duty?

[@angelwut469]

@@bluemoose9740 That wasn’t his question though. To answer it, yes it will translate directly over to the civilian world and would probably do you even better to have military experience

[@Mochiko0_X]

If you finish AIT as a 68W how much do you work? or when? Can you go to college right after AIT?

[@noobtube5153]

Depends on your unit and if you get deployed. You may or may not have time to pursue an education. If you get assigned to a clinic or something like she is then yea you could probably manage taking classes as well. If you’re on a line unit like infantry or you get deployed; probably not.

[@gorilla1194]

What about when you deploy with the infantry?

[@stormblessed9455]

You'll only deploy with infantry as a line medic, so don't count on it - Lots of 68W's end up never being deployed

[@rcaffey1]

Would the training process be any different if a recruit is already a paramedic and has a degree?

[@ChasesChess]

im at ait right now as a 68w and we have some people who were paramedics and they got fast tracked to whiskey phase as long as also getting their specialist. i just got through emt phase though omw to whiskey so i cant tell you much passed that point. you are probably better off because emt phase they shove a waater hose of information down your throat and turn it on full blast so your knowlege base is probably alot more solid

[@ChasesChess]

forgot to mention they offer airborne and ranger contracts based on gpa and pt so if you are reasonably fit, you might have a better chance because a high gpa is hard in emt unless you are commited to studying alot everyday

[@trevenlinger8593]

Is there any way to request being a line medic? If I get airborne would that help improve my chances of being a line medic?

[@jasonfields7058]

Not really. What happens is being a line medic is a whole other ball game. You will initially be placed with a medical unit of some sort and then you have to go for try outs usually. They don't just throw you into a linevunit. Basically you go to the try out outs and they will test how good you are as a medic and if you are just as fit as the infantry. The main thing is being fit to keep up with the infantry. Once you show you can and get through the try outs, they put you with a line unit.

random unless you get an airborne?ranger contract. that would give you a better chance

[@jasonfields7058]

No, when you come in, they put you on as part of a medical unit or company. Then you go to tryouts. You pass tryouts by showing your medical skills and being very fit so you can keep up with infantry. They don't just out you into a line unit.

Mr Morales. I am prior enlisted, Infantry 11B but have my NREMT-A. My understanding is they cram NREMT basic in 4-6 weeks for these guys. So long as You have NREMTB you are “fast tracked to Whiskey phase . Caveat Your NREMT CERT REGARDLESS OF LEVEL Can Not expire before end of Advanced Individual Training. If still interested. Talk to Regular Army, Reserve AND National Guard recruiters and inquire about CASP-Civilian Aquired Skills Program. At a minimum You should get a bonus to Enlist as a 68 W as a trained NREMT Paramedic.
