I'm deciding to either attend Air Assault School or EFMB; which would you choose and why? (Currently in Korea)

Having earned both I would say my EFMB means more to me than my air assault badge. If you want to stand out amongst your peers the EFMB is the way to do it.

I would go for the EFMB, it shows your proficiency in your MOS and sets you apart from those in that field that doesn't have it. If you stay in the military long enough you may go to Fort Campbell, Fort Drum, or Hawaii where that opportunity for AA is readily available. I got my EIB as a PFC and it was the proudest badge that I earned throughout my career.

As a Med guy, EFMB is in your MOS career path, AA however is a nice to have... Set yourself apart from your peers and earn your EFMB, good luck

EFMB regardless. There's so much more honor, pride, and a since of "I challenged myself and accomplished it" from it. Air Assault is a great skills to have, and very cool things to wear around, but the EFMB shows out more when you wear it.

Get your EFMB first.
EFMB is MOS-specific and carries more weight when it comes time for promotions. Additionally, with your EFMB, you can then instruct at unit-level. Air Assault is a static course that has its own instructors at various posts but only carries standard promotion points.

Besides, EFMB is tougher, so get it out of the way now.

EFMB of course, you can go to AASLT School at anytime and its offered at five other posts (Benning, Bragg, Campbell, Hawaii, Hood). Besides if you're a medic, that EFMB sets you above the rest.

Definitely go to EFMB it makes you a more valuable asset to your team, Air Assault school is useless except for the badge.....If you are in a high speed unit you will get the Air Assault training anyways.

EFMB is less of a sure thing but the opportunities to do it are less prevelant.

EFMB

While in Korea go for the EFMB, reason only 1% of medical personal have earned this badge.
