<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take advantage of whatever options are made available for further training i.e. Ranger Medic, Civil Affairs Support Medic, etc. Don&#39;t be an idiot. Keep your head down, study, and find a solid mentor.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While going through EMT phase, study, study, study. I used the app “EMT Pass” to help me prepare. When you switch over to Whiskey phase, never stop practicing all the tasks. Be a good Soldier and follow the rules, even when “you think” nobody is watching and don’t fall victim to peer pressure. AIT will be over before you know it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Study, study, study.... The first phase of training is civilian based course. A lot of good soldier wash out because they cannot pass the NREMT. If you make it past that then the mantra become practice. The Whiskey phase is not as mentally taxing but it will become very physical and more reliant on hands on skills. If you do get time off don’t waste it on drinking go out and enjoy San Antonio but in moderation. Good luck man, it’s a fun time.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Stay awake and pay attention. Instructors will be highlighting what&#39;s on the test, so be sure you&#39;re awake for it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My brother is a Medic, PT PT PT. Medics do a lot of carrying and running. Use your spare time to study. He said quite a few guys got dropped because they couldn&#39;t pass the tests.<br /><br />EDIT<br /><br />You&#39;ll be going to Fort Sam Houston

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take advantage and shoot for flight medic. As a former dustoff medic I have to say it’s some of the best memories I have.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think the thing that helped the most if you&#39;re like me, to invest in some caffeine tablets, the days are relatively long in AIT, take one in the morning (or start off with half if you aren&#39;t used to caffeine) right before class and study. Go over your assessments with a buddy and stay focused. Get plenty of rest like you should. Don&#39;t take the training lightly, the NREMT is what knocked a lot of our class out. Keep your GPA above 80% in all your classes so you can get some extra time after AIT to be at home (hometown recruiting). And above all, enjoy San Antonio, it&#39;s a beautiful place man.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Dont get in trouble. Never rent a room at a nearby hotel, especially the La Quinta (they have bat phones straight back to the 232). Don&#39;t get married while in training. Don&#39;t get tattoos until you ARE a Medic. Study hard. And for god&#39;s sake, NEVER, EVER, pass out drunk during flutter kicks, in front of the CSM.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It&#39;s too easy to get distracted. Don&#39;t get caught up in the mess of what others are doing. You&#39;ll carve your own path, and really, you are the only one who has control over whether or not you&#39;ll be selected for the opportunities to go to Airborne school, etc. Take PT seriously, study, have fun, don&#39;t get into a relationship, and enjoy your time there. It will be worth it. The heritage of medics is something to be very proud of. Always challenge yourself to learn something new about the medical field everyday. Hope this helps, best of luck.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don&#39;t refer to yourself as a Combat Medic in front of someone wearing the CMB, until you have one yourself.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I understand there are many routes for a 68W to choose. I myself am very interested in becoming a line medic. Do you have any tips on how to maybe secure that route. I am first aid, cpr, and aed certified and i have been taking practice emt test so I will have a little jumpstart on other soldiers entering the field.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Study, alot, I&#39;m currently at the school for 68W at JBSH and the course is shoved down your throat in roughly a 6 week span, although the NREMT course is normally a 6 month course. First test covers 8 chapters and is given to you 3-4 days after you start classes. Take good notes from the book and dont stress too hard, don&#39;t get sidetracked about things like holiday block leave and when it is, your platoon sergeants will take care of those things and let you know when it&#39;s time.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Old man answering from the days when 232 was known as Ft San Hilton and we were 91A. Monday-Friday stay awake, pay attention and make sure you understand what you are learning. Saturday and Sunday make any required formations, explore Ft San Houston and AMEDD history, explore San Antonio. If you are under 21 don’t even look at anything with alcohol in it. I still my photos from my time there, ran with a couple of guys that were more interested in passing AIT and exploring San Antonio than getting drunk and meeting the 1SG &amp; CO and learning about Article 15s firsthand
