What is it like being in the Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) as a medic?

Please be honest, is it worth try out for in the future?

I'm hesitant to answer your question. You're unverified to begin with. Also, your asking a question, when all the information is readily available to you.

For general information to anyone reading this. Members of a SFAB are trainers. They work in teams, with the host units. As a Combat Medic, you be a member of the Medical Training Team. The host units TO&E may not resemble ours, so our training is modified to fit. It's a great opportunity for anyone to take part in.

Have you attended a SFAB brief yet?

Looking at your past posts I don't think the SFAB would be a good fit for you. I enjoy being in the SFAB and being a 68W. Being in the SFAB you work in small teams (I'm part of a 4 man team) and we have to do the same amount of work as a regular company. I have more additional duties than I have ever had and it keeps me busy and feeling accomplished everyday. I rarely do anything medical but I stay ready in case it's needed. I often work alone getting tasks complete and without guidance from higher. If you don't think being a 68W or don't have the motivation to do your job and many others then you will not enjoy our succeed in the SFAB.
