Yes, it’s a NGB wide known issue, it’s really getting a lot of people bottleknecked.

And let’s be honest, unless you have a civilian job medically related, the re-certs and trainings are a bit lacking for the reserve components on this MOS and its requirements to maintain.
I love being a medic. But we need to determine if we’re serious about medical readiness within our reserve components.

Are Reserve Component 68Ws having a hard time getting into ALC and SLC?

They do because the slots go to AD receives first priority. Next comes USAR, and NG, can pretty much forget it.

Yes, very limited seats for RC soldiers for ph 1 and even less for 2 and 3 and good luck going to all of them in the same fiscal year. Had to go back to 11B to get ALC

Yes. It doesn't help that SSD breaks down all the time and locks out soldiers as well. I signed up two years ago and it looks like I will ETS before I get a chance to go (and possibly stay in).

Yes, It has been taking years. I just completed SLC in September; I have been waiting for over 4 years for a seat.

Yes. I just completed ALC phase 1. It took almost 2 years to get a slot. I’m slotted for phase 2 and 3 and the end of FY2018
