Does anyone have any information about being part of a MTSB?

Just joined USAR as 66s and was told I would be part of the 7301st Medical Training Support Battalion at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Interested to learn more if anyone has information?

I cannot answer to that but if you have not completed the Army's critical care course make sure you are on top of your critical care game. The course changes with instructors but generally remains more difficult than anything I have seen in the civilian world and with ICU RNs being so territorial and judgemental you could easily get behind the social curve. It is much easier to get the sierra identifier from civilian work experience than through the active duty process and it is noticeable when these RNs come on duty. Not trying to be mean or on a high horse here, just looking out for a younger RN.

If you haven't already, you can start with the normal info sources (unit page, Facebook, MilSuite, etc).

Quick Google search turned up the following:

MRTC homepage (2nd higher HQ of the 7301st ... overview of mission/units/etc) - https://www.usar.army.mil/Commands/Functional/ARMEDCOM/MRTC/)

LinkedIn profile of 7301st XO - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rory-l-irwin/ ... reach out and introduce yourself and see if they can send you a 'welcome packet' or other information

Facebook page of 1st MTB (higher headquarters) - https://www.facebook.com/1stMedicalTrainingBrigadeCenturions/

It looks like they have a section on MilSuite (if this isn't is, then it should be 'adjacent' to any unit information) - https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-499651

Etc.

Google is your friend. ;)
