Does anyone have suggestions (or experience) for writing a justification to attend Pathfinder school as a 68W?

The most convincing argument would be that you need the knowledge for HLZ site selection for medevacs, and it will allow you to tailor your 9-lines to aircraft capacity and function. If you are planning to fill a future assignment on a small team, you could also state that it would be cross-training that will prepare you to be a productive member of a small team when you are not conducting medic tasks. It will give you a purpose when there are not patients to take care of. As others have said, there is really no great reason, but those examples would be what a higher authority might possibly buy. Best of luck to you on snagging a waiver and a slot, it's a great course and a cool badge.

Did you try calling the school? Dont listen to the folks saying medics don’t need it. Get after it!

If it's not in FMSWeb it likely isn't a thing. It also isn't one for the Pathfinder school either for a 68W. Obviously you can apply for a MOS waiver, but it's not a likely necessity. You can "what if" anything to throw in HLZ operations but the big thing is that the medic shouldn't be doing the HLZ ops, they should be working the patient, while the 11Bs/19Ds do the HLZ ops. If it's on the receiving end of the patient the HLZ would already be set up by a qualified person.
11B, 11C, (11Z must be assigned to a Pathfinder Billet), 15Q, 19D, 88M, 92R (skill levels 3 and 4 only), and 92Y (skill levels 1 through 3).

It's a pretty badge...everyone wants it.

I'm not sure there is any legit justification for a Medic to be doing Pathfinder shit. No matter the scenario, they have more important stuff to be doing besides worrying about DZs. "I want the cool looking badge." is probably about as legit as any other reason you could make up.

The last time I tried to get in I was told by The Pathfinder branch at Ft. bending, was that it was not open the MOS 68W. However the early part of the course has a Medevac part that is pretty hard for what I understand. I hadn’t to help a friend of mine to be able to past it, he was not a medic.

Try to use that as part of your justification, not to mention you won’t always have a Pathfinder from another section at your disposal. Good luck.

Just try an MOS waiver. Worst they can say is no. Honestly, it’s a good school, but isn’t really utilized.
I don’t know if Benning has the same Commanding Generals inventive program like Campbell, but if you go to Ranger school and pass they’ll give you a slot to Pathfinder.

Surprised that not obsolete. I should think with advances in navigation techniques the aircraft with the paras could find the DZ without advance troops on the DZ on the ground sending RF signals to the aircraft. What is a HLZ?

No

My humble opinion would be if you are the medic assigned to the Pathfinder unit.

the C Co of a BSB has to establish a HLZ for the role 2 according to the METL, pathfinder isnt required but helpful.
