You must first first visit your local recruiter and apply for Hospital Corpsman School. It is recommended you do this prior to signing any contract or scheduling for a Physical examination.
Upon completion of a physical exam, and basic training. You then must attend Hospital Corpsman "A" school. Upon completion of this schooling, you may be eligible to continue directly on to Basic X-ray Technician NEC 8451 school. This is dependant on how your contract is written up from your recruiter when you enlisted. Sometimes top performers in Hospital Corpsman "A" school are allowed to continue on to Basic X-ray Technician school directly from Hospial Corps "A" School.
If you are not eligible from "A" school to continue on into the "C" school of Basic X-ray technology, you then are assigned to a command as a Hospital Corpsman, and you may apply for Basic X-ray School after 18 months of Duty at your assigned command. This could be a hospital, ship, clinic, Marine Corps assignment, etc.
If you are accepted into Basic X-Ray technology "C" School you will then attend an 18 month course in San Diego, CA. Upon completion you will be assigned another command as a basic x-ray tecnician. After another 18 months are you eligible to apply for Advanced X-ray Technology "C" school.
After completing this 24 month course you are eligible to take the National Registry Exam with the ARRT. This is the full accreditation process for a Navy X-ray technologist that is recognized in the civilian sector after leaving the military. The process can take up to 4-5 years.
Having completed this process myself I hope this information helps you with your decision.
