what are the requirements for 91WM6?

[boyter]

Sorry, I am brand spanking new on this thing. I would like to know what AIT would consist of. Also, I am an EMT-B and I will have my CNA by the time I leave for the Warriors Transition Course. I am going to make sure my recruiter puts it in writing that I get the 91WM6, but what are the prereqs? I would assume that I would still go through the 91W course but what about the M6? my recruiter really has no idea. I would really like as much info as I can possibly get so that I can study and be more profeciant in AIT. I was a 63W my first enlistment. My recruiter told me the best thing to do right now is to go reserve because there are 6 slots open in a unit for the 91WM6. Then I could wait 6 months and go full time. I am trying for my RN. I did not realize that an RN is an officer. With that, how many college credits do you need to be comissioned? I have human development, intro to psych and algebra. will this help?

Sorry i dunno how to post stuff yet, but i have a question. I just enlisted in the Army Reserve, but the MOS i wanted was unavailable at this time, so i chose Health Care Specialist. The recruiter told me it was like being a nurse, but on the army website and others they call this combat medic. On the army site 91W and 68W are both Heath Care Specialists. I'm a 68W, so are they the same or are they different? I still go for AIT at Ft. Sam Houston, but im still going to college and i dont want combat right now. So, if anyone can tell me the difference i would appreciate it.

About the college credits from 68WM6 school...

Some colleges will accept them if you're going into an ADN program. For example, at my county community college, they have an "Advanced Entry" for LPNs and you can get this advanced entry if you pass a HESI (I believe its called) Exam. Most BSN programs will not accept your LPN credits.

And I don't know what they do today, but I was given a choice for my phase two site. 3 out of 5 schools were available at the time of my decision.

Hello Headman,

I see this post is almost a month old already, sorry about that.

I suspect that due to the MOS being changed that 91W and 68W are indeed the same thing. the MOS also needs to have more qualifyers behind it because while some may be combat medica others may be LPNs and still others may work in a capacity as sort of an LPN sort of a tech, (which is the position that qualifys one to contest to sit for the NCLEX-PN I think.)

I have posted a link in several threads previously which will take you to the breakdown of this MOS, not all are combat.

All the best,

Gen

I feel obliged to point out that the previous poster's use of "combat" seemed to be more in the context of deployment. granted while us M6's are not going to replace the 11B's, we get deployed just as well to include the rest of the 91 series or now the 68 series. I have known many of us to deploy already. To assume otherwise would be detrimental.
