I highly recommend it. We have clinical skills and opportunities that don't exist elsewhere in the medical world. Our sole focus on the cardio-pulmonary system and disease processes makes us a valuable asset within a hospital. Short answer, we're hard to replace. There's great opportunities when you finish your Army career as well.

The only issues you may have is dealing with snot & sputum, especially when you get a funky disease process or burn patient that creates a unique and less than pleasant smell.

SFC Crouch is definitely the most qualified expert on the school requirements, so do what he said.

Thank you for the response SFC. I will do what he said. The only thing I can't is not do intro to psychology because I have already taken this class last year.

One of the best decisions I ever made was reclassing to 68V (formerly 91V). I loved the job.

Does anyone know the updated prerequisites for 68V? The Met-c website and reserve career counselor data are different. I plan to transition from active duty to the reserves for 68V.

Do you still need info? I leave for class in October. From what I remember I needed AP 1&2, medical terminology, and I believe college Algebra and one or two others. Spc to SGT (P) and a 110GT
