So I see on the internet that you can go into the army as an E4 if you go 68w with your EMT-B, is this anywhere in the guidelines cause I asked my recruiter and he said the best he could do is E3 with college and sea cadets I just want to know if the E4 is true

Yes, this is true. That’s how I enlisted; tell your recruiter to look into ACASP, or the Army Civilian Required Skills Program. You’ll go in as E4 and once you hit AIT, you’ll skip the NREMT phase and go directly to whiskey phase.

So a question to add on when you say you skip straight to whiskey phase do you mean when you go to AIT you don't do the tests for emt or classroom as a whole that is the other thing I am confused about?

SPC (Join to see) Precisely. So, when you report to Fort Sam, you’ll arrive to your original company and be held as an accelerant until another company finishes their EMT phase and obtains their NREMT to move on to the combat medicine portion. This will cut around 6 weeks from your total training. You will then be reassigned to your new company and continue training with them. Until then, you will likely sit in on your original company’s EMT phase.

Ok you need your NREMT-B (no state licensing accepted) and most of the time your in as a E-3, but I’ve seen basics and Paramedics get in asE-4’s if there recruiter cares enough to do more paperwork that says they are awesome and have experience.

I went in with Eagle Scout and no EMS training and only got E-2. So if you have NREMT and your Sea Cadet, you could make E-4.

She has to have her National Registry EMT-B, not a state certification. It’s under the ACASP program

You probably just have a new recruiter. It will all get sorted at the MEPS SPC (Join to see)
