Is it worth staying as a 68W with no experience. My NCO says I should see what’s it like to be an actual infantry or field medic. I’m interested but I don’t want to disappointed again or told I’m not allowed to 90% of my MOS.

What type of a Unit are you in now? I would assume a CSH or at a hospital. My career started at a CSH and I later PCS to Fort Hood to attach to a Route Clearance Company. Being on the line is completely different than being somewhere like a Clinic. You get to learn a lot about field medicine and you will spend long days in the field with the 11B, 12B, 13B ETC. You will also get to go to schools like BCT3. From my personal experience, being on the line has been one of the most humbling things I have ever done. I even got to deploy as a 68W

Every job in the Army, 90% of the time you're not doing your MOS. Most of the spent in the Army is Soldier skills like PMCSing vehicles, pulling staff duty, or laying out equipment.

See if you can achieve chest candy by preparing for the EFMB. Tough course and few pass, having that will be a great morale booster for you and respect from your fellow medics.
