What are nicknames for army medics?
A "Whiskey" or "Whiskeys" is one (as in 68W - the MOS ID for Army medics) "Doc" is probably the most common.
What Career Path Is A Combat Medic?
The Career Management Field is 68 (it was 91 when I first enlisted), and the MOS is 68W (again, it used to be 91B).
Who qualifies for the army expert field medical badge?
It used to be reserved solely for actual Combat Medics, with the MOS of 91B. However, with the Army reorganisation, 91B was folded into the 68W MOS (Healthcare Specialist), which is no longer limited to actual line medics. Anyone with the 68W MOS is elegible for the EFMB (and CMB). Technically, anyone with any MOS can go through the testing, but they cannot wear it without the 68 series MOS.
What qualification is needed to be a medic in army?
68W (medic) is the larget MOS in the army aside from Infantry. If you want to be a medic, just go to a recruiter and tell him you want to be a 68W. Whether or not there are any spots open just depends on how many medics are needed at the time.
Does all army infantry get EMT-B qualified?
Infantry doesn't go through EMT training, unless they attend a course for it on their own volition. If you go for the 68W MOS (Healthcare SpecialistL, then you get EMT qualification. 11 series does not.
How do you become a combat medic?
Same as any other job in the military. Go to a recruiter, score well enough on the ASVAB to qualify and tell your recruiter that you want to be a medic. Make sure it says medic (68W in the US army) on your contract.
What is the mos code for a first sergeant?
There isn't one. First Sergeant isn't an MOS - you don't enlist as a First Sergeant. It's a rank and position which is achieved through time and experience. It doesn't change the holder's MOS - if they were, say, 68 series, 88 series, 11 series, etc., they would retain that CMF identifier. What does change is that, when one is promoted to E8, they're no longer considered specific to a certain MOS, but rather, a generalist in the entire field. So, if someone were 68W (Healthcare Specialist) and were promoted to E8, they would no longer be 68W, but rather, 68Z, making them a generalist in the entire Career Management Field.
Does prior army medic training help to become a paramedic?
The 68W MOS requires you to obtain a basic EMT licence, so it's a stepping stone. The on-the-job training can be helpful, as well, although you'll find that a civilian EMS and the Army have dramatic differences in how they operate.
What rank would you be in if you served two years in the army as a peramedic?
In two years, you'd be a Specialist (regardless of MOS), provided you didn't do something which got you busted down. As for serving as a paramedic in the Army... nowadays, the MOS is called "Healthcare Specialist" (68W), and requires a basic EMT licence. There were personnel with this MOS who served as EMTs on-post - however, prior to the reorganisation which did away with the old 91B (Combat Medic) MOS and folded it into 68W, most of these personnel did not even possess a basic EMT licence. As the trend towards privatising services for the military grows, it's likely EMT services are performed by civilian contractors now, although I can't say with 100% certainty.
