How well does 68P Radiology Technician AIT set you up for success in the private sector?

What's up Zach, one of the reasons being a BIG PAPA is the best is MOS is because the training is beneficial inside and outside of the military.

You won't graduate with credentials but you WILL have credits from the Community College of The Air Force (CCAF) that you can use to complete your Associate degree. I sent my transcripts to Purdue Global-- formally known as Kaplan, with my CCAF credits.

Each semester is 10 weeks; I took two classes at a time, with one (Capstone Class) remaining. You'll only need five to finish.
- 30 weeks total if you enroll consecutively.

After you complete your degree e-mail the POC at METC and they'll send you the packet to enroll for the registry: https://www.arrt.org/

When you pass the exam You'll have your national civilian credentials (RT) that will allow you to work anywhere as a tech.

Stopping here. I'll type a whole lecture here about balancing civilian and military career advancement lol...if you have any questions just hit me: [login to see]

The registry eligibility I mentioned is with the ARRT. If you applied your self during the course and listened to your OJT Student Advisor, you should be able to pass the registry exam upon program completion. Don’t wait to apply for and take the ARRT Exam; do this as soon as possible, as your skills and memory will loose the book knowledge.
As far as getting your credentials, you do have to finish both phase 1 and 2 to be considered registry eligible. The course counselors and mentors can and will advise you on this necessity.

Not at all, I completed the 91P Radiology Specialist course in 1984, and witnessed its case nversion to 68P. The course I completed in 19 weeks, which prepared me for to work in the field; in no way compares to the 68P course that lasts 46 weeks. Todays 68P is registry eligible and has more than enough clout to transfer to civilian life. In fact, military techs need to pursue civilian moonlighting opportunities when ever your command allows you to, this ensures your skills are maintained, and provides additional income. Should you desire to work more than the ARMY’s 60-70 hours weekly; ensure you follow the rules and don’t forget that the ARMY always comes first. This enabled me to buy a house $275,000 value before retirement.
