I am currently in the process of enlisting and I am willing to go with almost any medical MOS, with that said I am really aiming for 68c or 68w. I'm curious which would be better for advancing not only my military career but also my civilian career.

68C here, and former NCOIC of the school house. I used to be a 68W as well but I won’t speak to that. My personal experience has been that 68Cs are better off when leaving the service. It’s the only MOS that grants you a medical license. You work more in a hospital fixed facility type place than anywhere else. You will have some field training opportunities if/when you end up in a field hospital but even then you are borrowed military man power to the hospital.
I’ve loved being a 68C… I’m retiring with a bachelors degree in healthcare administration and about to start a masters program. I’m on the hook for a job north of $100000 a year.
