I have been stuck in hospital in the ER, Aviation, and Primary care clinics, in that order. I have no line experience. For my first reenlistment I re-upped for the 2-3 Stryker BCT at JBLM so I could get out of the MEDDAC. My PT is good, and I shoot Expert, but otherwise have had little to no training on Soldier skills outside of Basic and AIT. What should I expect, know, learn, do etc, to prepare for this? Many Thanks.

Battle drills, skill level 10 tasks, know the assessment backwards and forwards. Tq drills, patient movements, configuration of medevac strykers. All that should help.

Do EVERYTHING your grunts do. You look like a privelaged fuck if you're always near the PL or PS, or not helping dispatch trucks/mount guns. Take care of your guys. Make sure you have plenty of the little shit while training: bandaids, adhesive glue, shit to pack/excise abscesses(if your PA trusts you enough), plenty of motrin and tylenol in your aid bag. It goes a long way to showing your guys you care about them. Prepare to carry as much weight as the gunner. And don't be a little bitch. Be sure to make as fun of yourself and everyone else.

You’ll probably be adding vehicles to you military drivers license if you already have one. Might be a good thing to get before if you don’t have one already.
