What is the process for a civilian flight medic to become an Army flight medic?

Really interested in the Army dustoff program. Background: current major certs NRP, FP-C, CCP-C. And yes I do have all those required abc cert classes as well.
My question is, what is the process for a civ flight medic to become a army flight medic? I’ve talked to local recruiters and even the AMEDD recruiter and they couldn’t answer my question. I know, of course go through basic, but I’m guessing I can just accelerate through the 68w AIT. I’m wondering if anyone here knows the exact process. Any related info would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

Are you planning to join active duty or the reserves/NG?

You would accelerate through to whiskey phase in AIT and, once in the flight paramedic program, you would also accelerate through to the critical care phase, they may actually send you straight through to the flight phase at Ft Rucker since you’re already a civilian flight paramedic. The most difficult part would be getting into the flights paramedic program. Many soldiers wait years for a slot. Are you looking at active duty or guard?

Where do you currently live? If you are interested in the Army Reserves, I know my BN is looking for flight medics. Send me an email at [login to see] if you would like to know more.
