What certifications do 68V’s obtain at the end of AIT?

2021-03-25T21:07:35-04:00

Hello, I have been using Rally Point to get some information on certain MOS’s. I have done some research but have not been able to find out whether or not 68V’s get their (RRT) or (CRT) at the end of AIT. I am looking to reclass to 68C or 68V. My dream is 68C and has been for a long time ever since I raised my line scores, but I know I might not get it still. I am really considering 68V since the current balance is under strength for E4’s and it looks like something I would really enjoy both military and civilian life. So my question is what is the day to day life of a 68V? Hours, promotion, do you get your RRT or CRT at the end of AIT? What certifications do you actually obtain at the end of AIT? Do you get weekends and holidays as a 68V? How easy it to transfer as a 68V to the civilian sector? These are questions I have not been able to find on Rally Point or a simple google search. Thank you in advance!

68V work along side 68C when a 68C has a patient that requires breathing treatments. I may not be entirely right but you only get the certification for RT and the rest is on your own time(that’s what I’ve heard from other 68V). As far as time off if you are in the hospital then no you won’t get weekends off most of the time and holidays are on request and first come first serve type of deal. If 68C has always been your goal why not try for that? If you want direct patient care for your main focus 68C is the right MOS for you. Hope this helps.

68V receive an associate in Respiratory Therapy, I forget which college accredits it now. Whether you're able to get 68C or 68V comes down to class seats, meeting qualifications and MOS strengths. Which one you want or really hope to get is irrelevant. 68C doesn't accept promotable E4 and 68V for ant accept non promotable E4, The only person who can waiver that is the MOS proponent. Strengths have nothing to do with class seats, in fact you'll find more class seats when an MOS is over strength because it can't be filled. 68V also requires you have several college courses as well

I am a 68V instructor now so I will tell you that you graduate with an associates. You will also get the opportunity to sit for the TMC which awards the CRT. If you score high enough you can then sit for your RRT. The program pays for your first attempt at the TMC. If you have more questions let me know.

As long as you can get a hospital to work in active duty you can learn a ton. Lots of ventilators er stuff etc
