I found out that I am qualified to get back on active duty due to my active federal service time being low enough. I am hoping to get a slot for 68C at MEPS next week! Thanks for everyone's input and advice. I have wanted to be back on active duty since I got out so I am so excited to have that opportunity!

I sure will! The process is going a little slower than I had hoped. I am thankful to have the opportunity and am ready to be back. I had a 109 GT score and need a 110 to qualify for 68C so brushing up on math before taking the ASVAB in two weeks.

SPC, I believe you now need either a 107 or 109 GT score for the 68C program since we are in desperate need of soldiers. Keep us posted. If you have any questions about the program, please let me know. I am in the program now and am less than 90 days from graduation.

Hey, sorry but in I am looking to reclass to 68C and I have a few questions. During phase II, is everything still like AIT? As in you still do organized PT, go to breakfast, school, ETC.

First of all look up on ATRRS under 68C1 for specific criteria. The big question is are you Active or Reserves or NG? This does make a big difference is how you can request a slot. I the reserves you should contact your training NCO and look into available positions and put I a request. Oml is important. Active you need to be in a slot and have time as a medic. You will be competing with others that have been waiting longer. Also if you can get a slot and you know where you would like to do your phase 2 at you will have to find then correct phase 1 start date for the phase 2 site.

I plan on attending a bridging program to get my BSN once I graduate. Thanks for your input! I am RST'ing with a new unit here in Colorado and will ask the training NCO there if they have any advice. I know there aren't many medical units here so the hard part is going to be finding the unit that will send me.

I have heard great things about that program! I need my GPA to be higher. It is unbelievably competitive. I would have the Hazlewood Act being that my home of record is in Texas. I will have to do more research on their bridging program. Thank you!

That is awesome! Once I complete 68C school this will definitely be a top contender!

Since ther eis also conversation about RN here. When I did 68C schol at Sam. We had to Soldiers in my class that both did the Excelsior school while doing the 68C program. Courses coinsided with each other for the ADN program. Tthen check out the AECP and see if you can complete the renmaining cources that way.

SPC Smith,
I am currently in the 68C class stationed down at Ft. Gordon for Phase II. We have 2 prior service 68W in our class currently. They said it was up to the discretion of their command as well as slotting opportunities. Both had to wait a year + in order to obtain a slot on a 68C roster.
It's a good program. Challenging, but if you have prior medical experience you should be able to cruise through. More Phase II sites around the country are partnering with the 68C program to offer either an ADN or BSN program similar to the AECP. For example, GRU (Georgia Regents Hospital) agreed to recognize the military credits obtained through this course and make them applicable to an ADN program.
Best of luck on your future ventures!
