Are F-2 and F-3 considered subsets of 68W or are they a different MOS? What do I need to do for acceptance into one of the programs?

Okay so, I’m leaving for basic in 2 weeks and then it’s off to Fort Sam for AIT (68W). I’ve come to the conclusion that after completion of AIT I would like to be a flight medic. I’ve seen a few things online only mentioning F-2’s and F-3’s but there is really no good information on either. Are they considered subsets of 68W (additional training if you will) or are they an entirely different MOS? Also, what would I need to do for acceptance into one of the programs/mos? I’ve scoured the internet for hours looking and am not the type to go asking questions without first looking for myself but there’s literally NOTHING anywhere?

I guess your Google Kung-fu is weak lol
Here's the course website with instructions.
It's an Additional Skill Identifier for 68W. After you finish you AIT training you can apply.

I believe that it consists of two segments. The first is obtaining your Paramedic License, which is also done at Fort Sam and takes a couple months, and then the Flight portion is done at Fort Rucker, where you learn how to work in the cramped space of a Blackhawk Helicopter and serve as a crewmember of that aircraft. However it all depends on if your new unit has an aviation mission on whether or not you can go to Flight Medic School. They may or may not have slots. If you are going to a unit with an aviation mission, then you will have many opportunities to be a flight medic and the decision may already be made for you. However if you are not assigned to an Aviation Unit, you may find it hard to get a slot, or even be able to apply for a slot. You can improve your odds by being a 300+ PT Soldier, be a dedicated medic and perhaps even work on your Paramedic certification on your own. You should also enter competitions, and make sure that your 1SG and CSM are aware of your desire to be a flight medic. Good Luck!
