Hey all, I've been checking out the other threads yet I didn't see what I was looking for pertaining to 68W (Army Combat Medic) training.
I'm currently a nursing student in my second year of college, and this summer I plan to do the college-first program for the Army National Guard. From what the recruiter tells me, I'll have to do basic and AIT back to back, and take a military leave of absence from college till spring 2010. Should work out.
What I'm wondering, is that are any of ya'll current/ex 68W's? Like, semi-current ones, as from what I've researched the curriculum and training changed dramatically after the Iraq war started.
If so, what was training like? I'm currently in emt-b class right now and will be certified in May, so I figure that should help me out. Anyone have some stories of AIT at Fort Sam Houston? Favorite parts of training, worst parts? Would love to hear from ya'll ^_^
