Do they not wear the EFMB, or CMB on the uniforms anymore? I noticed in your videos where you are in uniform, that you didn't have one. I was a 91A/ 91Bin the 80s when I got my EFMB, and a CPL when I got my CMB.
I’m currently here at fort Sam Houston for 68w taking the mod 4 test Monday… let me tell you Iv never had so much info crammed down my throat! This is something like a 6month course for EMT we are learning in less than a month before we go to the whiskey side. But it seems like this is ganna be a good career path. If I can pull through lol!
Interesting! I don’t remember having a student council back in 2003…back then we were in bays, but when we phased up we eventually could earn 2 overnight passes a weekend, which was awesome! Good video!
About to graduate from 68W AIT on August 3rd. We are probably going to be the in-person graduation that the family can attend before everything lock down again. Lots of things have changed as of right now everything is on lockdown again because of covid. It was a lot of fun and you learn a lot but you just have to push yourself, pay attention, and have fun.
@@Miaow69 I'm National Guard so I already knew where I was going when I enlisted, but all my active buddies got their orders towards the end of EMT phase
Are family members allowed to come visit you on the weekends? My civilian family wants to take a road trip to see me but they don’t know if they can come on base or if I can come off base…
@@TheBenAllen. sorry for late response passed mod1 and 2 with a 76 and got a 76 day this Wednesday on mod 3 so sitting in a 76 gpa definetly gonna use all my resources available for mod 4 to try to get my grade up
If you weren't allowed to go off post or drink.....those of us from spring 2012 rotation apologize....every company had some issues..yeah we will call them issues....
just did meps a few days ago and they sent me back to get eyes checked and waivered. My cyl for astigmatism is -3.5 on right eye. I hope I can still go in as a 68E :(
When they lock the base down, does that include prior service students by any chance? I’ll be going to fort Sam Houston February as a non prior service student, just curious what to expect. Thanks!!!
I’m considering between being a Navy corpsman or Army combat medic. The corpsman active duty contract is 5 years. How long is the minimum active duty contract for 68W? Is it 4 or 5 or 6 years?
68W reservist here. As with all MOSs, the 68W MOS does have minimum ASVAB score requirements to be eligible for the role. It's not really a question of CAN you; you NEED good enough scores to even qualify.
@@TheBenAllen. it’s not bad, school still very fast paced. Early wake up like you said. Covid restricted us to post. Masks indoors at all times. Ummm not much else is too different. 🤟🏼

Best of luck!
Did you make it in?
@@jayfkay3743 Yep im enlisted as 68E. I go to basic a couple weeks after I graduate high school :)
I'm an certified EMT, would I be asked to help with instruction? Or help my class mates understand a part of the process?
Hi! Do I have to be wearing the US Army Patch I got after the forge when I report to AIT?
I'm here right now too. This is a very challenging course but it's so much fun! Not the Texas heat tho lol... Alpha 232!!!
Glad you are enjoying it!
what's up gator?
@@NicolinkGamingVideos fellow gator?
@@tylerv9167 you know it, graduated from alpha last cycle
@@NicolinkGamingVideos hell ya! Congrats man! We're in week 10 now
What? Y'all didn't get up till 5:30 in basic? Lucky!
They had been letting people off base for the past 5 or so weeks, but it is locked down once again.
Damn that blows!
When they lock the base down, does that include prior service students by any chance? I’ll be going to fort Sam Houston February as a non prior service student, just curious what to expect. Thanks!!!

Hey dude, 68W has a 2 year option.
In Foxtrot company in Fort Sam Houston San Antonio rn my man

No
Can you become a medic based on your asvab results?

It’s pretty much the same
