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

EFMB- it is more relatable to your job. EFMB is a little harder to get into as well compared to air assault.

Do both they are both worth getting , I have 3 , AIR Assault, EIB and EFMB ... Be all you can be do as much as you can..

AIR ASSAULT

My advice would be Air Assault. While the EFMB is looked upon very highly, it is essentially useless. The book it is taken from is VERY out dated, includes improper treatments (circumferentially wrapping a chest wound) and tests you on your soldier tasks more than any actual medicine. The low graduation rates for EFMB is mostly the initial test. It focuses on thing most medical providers do not regularly (field sanitiation and preventive medicine) that while are valuable, are part of why the badge is misleading in my opinion. IT IS HARD TO EARN YOUR EFMB, do not get me wrong and I RESPECT anyone whom has earned it, but honestly I would focus on a school that directly relates to your MOS.

EFMB will look excellent on a promotion board, and it's a good test of yourself, but that is about the end of it's usefulness. Now slots are hard to come by for it so let that weigh on your decision.

I have come to the opinion that things worth doing only for "it looks good to a promotion board" should never take the place of an actual SCHOOL/TRAINING of substance. SUBSTANCE being the key word. Function over flash

It depend on your mos, it better to do stuff that related to your mos.

I wwould say EFMB bud honestly air assault is great but if you really want to stand out in your MOS which i assume is 68W then i would go for the EFMB, it teaches you some things and also shows you are knowledgeable and a true medical professional its a tough course but sets you above all your peers in the long run

Lastly, Korea will be your best opportunity to attend the event. Almost everyone who submits a packet will be given the opportunity to attend. We did 2 back to back cycles. I dont know if they still do that. Go to

You can also go to medtrng website to see when the event will take place and who the POC's are.
