I just received my projected orders to head to BACH once I’m complete my whiskey school. Any advice about the unit or to understand what it would be like would be amazing. Do I get the opportunity to go to Ai Assualt school quickly?

You will go to air assault school more than likely within the first month of getting there if you can pass a pt test

SPC (Join to see) I'd advise you to link up with line medics and prepare yourself to master medic skills. I'd also see if I could volunteer in a trama unit at the hospital or nearest civilian hospital.

Line medic is the dream but I’ll do my best anywhere I go. Is there a opportunity to switch to a line unit quickly. Nothing against the hospital medic lifestyle but I want the line medic experience. I’m excited to go to be able to go to Air Assualt school this quickly in my career. It’s one of my big goals.

Keep that attitude. Learn as much as you can while assigned to the hospital. I was only recommending that you broaden your network. You will have blinders on. We all do. So master your current assignment and also get to know what Line Medics do on a daily basis. I'm certain there is a program there that allows Medics to cross train. Eventually you will find the area that excites you. Become the expert in that area once you identify it. Then teach others.

Optempo at Campbell is pretty high. BACH is a nice facility. Locals have ready access to AASLT school. There's lots of services available thru ACS so spend time learning what all is offered. Enjoy your time here and explore your opportunities.
