I'm considering reclassing from 25C to 68F once I make E5. Anyone out there have some details about the good, bad, and ugly parts of the job? Would you recommend it? Is this an MOS where my leadership will allow me to go to schools, both military and civilian? Thanks!

Ok so this is a multi part answer. First off after SSG you’ll probably have to reclass. Second there are not a lot of us at all so many times you’re making decisions of your own without a medical provider. Next your life can be absolutely miserable if you have a shitty PT you work with. Ok so now the good. The schoolhouse was very fun and VERY challenging. You deploy a ton (could be a bad thing depending on how you feel). It’s an extremely rewarding job though and I’m extremely glad to be a Foxtrot. Any questions in particular feel free to ask.

So, would you say that you love your job, despite the flaws? Would you recommend it?

They deploy a lot? What kind of deployment, FOB, unaccompanied... l’m considering 68F and was told they don’t deploy often.

I’m a 68w highly considering 68F reclass. I must thank you for your honesty on how challenging it is. When you ask almost everyone who has been through a challenging AIT how to pass they say the same worthless lines about “study what they give you, you will be fine”.
You could be a great help by stating why its challenging and what I could study beforehand.
Thank you kindly

I'm currently in the internship phase of my 65B (PT) training and thus far all of the 68Fs I've worked with have been great. The NCOs, in particular, know their stuff and they are always more than capable implementing the sometimes insane rehab programs people like myself dream up. If forced to choose I'd pretty take them over any civilian PT tech or even PTA I've encountered on the civilian side. Of course the mission always comes first and every clinic is different, but I believe most clinic chiefs are very encouraging when it comes to continuing your education. Many classes in the Army-Baylor DPT program have at least one student that formerly a tech. I know of others that have made the jump to the PA program. If you have any more questions let me know and I can put you in touch with a couple awesome current or former 68Fs.
PS
If you do decide to become a 68F we can never work in the same clinic. Our last names are too damn similar and I get confused easily.

I might go ahead and take you up on that offer to get in touch with those 68Fs you mentioned. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Did anyone point out to you that most of the CMF 68 series jobs are only open to non-promotable E4 and below? Including 68F.
You will require a grade waiver from the MOS proponent, which is unlikely because they're not having any difficulty filling those school seats.
You can look up the requirements of the MOS you want on the ATRRS course catalog.
If you stay in your MOS you need to go to Airborne school, if you haven't already. 25C is a nearly dead MOS outside of USASOC.

I was not tracking. Thanks for the heads up on that. That actually makes a lot of sense from a leadership perspective especially for 68 series. I'm sure no one wants a leader who doesn't really know their MOS. Also, I am Airborne qualified and in USASOC and as awesome as some aspects of it can be, I just don't enjoy the MOS enough to want to stay. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

No worries. If you have more questions you can contact me directly. I know how difficult it is for 25c
