Heard the army is combining the medical MOS's???


Just wondering if anyone in the Army medical fields has heard anything about this. Rumor i've heard is that the Army is combining all the medical MOS's and that they are then going to be overstaffed and doing manditory MOS changes for those caught up in it. I am thinking of joining the Army myself and am a LPN already. So I was going to try for something along those lines......just wondering if i should now. Any info would be great! Thanks!

I know they are lacking in some areas....I know they did combine the
medics(91B) and lpns(91C) to 91W.........the LPN has an identifier of some type.

The 91W were suppose to be EMT-I....But i heard they didnt have enough funds, so it didnt go as planned.............I was a 91B in the army 1991-1996..
I have friends in the reserves, so i hear about it now and then.......they are LPN"s or 91W's.

I dont see the army being overstaffed........I hear they are understaffed.....I guess thats why the big bonuses that are being offered now.
