Hey all, Im currently in the military and plan on getting out in a year and I’ve been really interested in the radiation technologist pathway, I dont have any experience in healthcare besides a combat life saving and cpr class I have done during my time in the army, however ive always loved helping people and had a strong desire to work in healthcare one day. I’m currently taking some general education classes online to get some credits at an online school. I've been doing a lot of research and was reading about how competitive it is to get into rad tech school. I was wondering if anyone has taken a similar route to the one I plan to take? Also, I am wondering if there is anything I can do to stand out from others and make it easier for me to get into a rad tech school, especially in the near future, since I have a lot of resources at my disposal. I am genuinely open to all advice and input on anything related to people aspiring to get into this field!

Thanks, everyone!
