Prior academic requirement for MOS 68K as listed in Smartbook DA PAM 611-21. "Must have a minimum of 1 year of chemistry, high school or college credit, 1 year algebra, high school or college credit, and one year of biology, high school or college credit with a "C" grade or numerical grade of 75% or higher in all three subjects.

2021年5月19日 · After talking through all the available MOS’s with my recruiter, I was really drawn to 68K. I’ve enjoyed my work as a lab tech and have learned a lot, and now I’m preparing for the next stage of my career – becoming a nurse. I’m a big people person, so I …

2021年10月1日 · The MOS Discussion Threads are meant to be enduring threads where individuals with experience or insight in to particular CMFs or MOSes can give advice and tips. If you have any MOS resources, schools, etc, this would be a great place to share them. The previous series were fairly popular.

As others have mentioned, 68K promotion potential is poor. Those courses are the path to de-facto promotion routes for 68K: commissioning. The biggest bonus for 68K is the education. It is also the scariest prospect here. As others have mentioned, pass rates for advanced individual training (to train you to be a 68K) are consistently dismal.

2018年5月15日 · It was my understanding that the 68k would allow someone in the military to become a medical tech as a civilian because of the "52 weeks of advanced individual training" as this provides the clinical rotations to take the ASCP exam. Im considering multiple options at this point: PA, med school, and med tech through my university.

2024年2月28日 · Hell yeah brother, ex-68K here who just kept on doing the lab tech thing on the civilian side. The training is tough but effective, they pay for your ASCP certification exam (the civvy world's gold standard), and the job is honestly comfy as fuck if you can handle body fluids. Excellent choice.

2020年6月17日 · Hello, everyone. Had a few questions for the 68K MOS. Just finished up BCT at Leonard Wood not too long ago, and am currently doing classes at Ft. Sam for my phase 1 training. I've heard mixed things from instructors and drill sergeants regarding my question, and wanted to ask some of you about it:

Prior 68K here, now 66H. I did 68K BCT/AIT, went back to my unit as a reservist, then received a scholarship through ROTC, and now an officer. I came out of AIT with: a very full savings account, 60+ college credits, clinical experience, and more Army experience. Yes, 68K is stressful and being in TRADOC for 15-months sucks.

2023年7月20日 · Idk about the MOS training specifically but you're gonna have a blast in Fort Sam Houston. Have fun with it, study at least a little, and don't get caught drinking. Otherwise it'll be a breeze I was there for about 6 months and made some of my favorite memories there

My issue with these findings is that IF things were to go tits up and America needed to utilize the 68K MOS to its fullest extent in a field environment where civilians would (or should perhaps) be unavailable, lots of frontline soldiers will feel the effects of the severe man-shortage and the lack of skills in the manpower already available.
