What were your experiences with the 68P or 68V MOS? Are there any Army certifications or schooling that translate to the civilian world?

Hello everyone,
I'm interested in reclassing either 68p or 68v. I'm currently a 42a which I believe is one of the better jobs in the Army. Wanted to know people's experiences with either the 68p or 68v mos and are there any certs or any schooling that you gain in the army from those mos's that translate to the civilian world? Also, can you become an officer in either of those mos's?
Thanks for the help in advance!

I have been a 68V for 20+ years. It is a great MOS. As a Reservist I had 2 job offers on the 1st day of job hunting. Came on to Active duty after 10 years of Reserve time and I am now pretty sure I am the oldest Staff Sergeant in the Army. Promotion is hard...but the job is great. You can get a Bachelor's in Respiratory but there are no officers in this field. It does have a great future in medicine. ..Google it. Good luck.

I failed to mention, the 68V school house gets you an associate degree in Respiratory therapy and national registry which you can use to get state licensure. Feel free to ask more questions.

Forget about the 68P MOS, you will never get it. The MOS is always over strength at E4 and they don't accept E4P and above. 68V however accepts E4P and E5, you will graduate with an AA in Respiratory Therapy and the license to practice it.

I've worked with both. Both enjoy their fields. Rank progression can be a little slow, but it does happen. I've known the Rad Techs walk out of AIT and get a Rad Tech job in the civilian field practically right away.
