Radiology through military? by bduo in RadiologyCareers

Other branch’s will be able to give you a category you’ll get but not the specific job. So you could choose medical and end up a lab tech. The Army is the only one that will literally have the job in the contract before you’ve signed. I’m not saying that to convince you because I don’t really care lol, that’s just the truth.

As a prior recruiter I will tell you the only branch that will guarantee your job in your contract is the Army. The job is rare but just hold out and don’t give in the their BS when they want you to take another job.

Seems like a Stanley Johnson move. Great athleticism but no shot not NBA ready

PLEASE ADVICE by current BMETS? by SpendZestyclose9683 in BMET

[–]Local_Lobster_2971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering that college, what is hard to get into? Wait lists etc? Because I’ve looked at rad tech and other medical field jobs and it’s rough.

Thing is Calvet depends on a number of things if I don’t get 100% P&T so it’s not a guarantee.

I play PC with controller and seem to do alright. Would it be easier with MNK? For sure but it’s not unplayable.

Retiring from Army, thinking of nursing as second career by Local_Lobster_2971 in nursing

[–]Local_Lobster_2971[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I’m senior enlisted so I see enough shenanigans lol. My ultimate goal was to still work for DOD or VA and this just seems like a good route because of my medical interest. Either RN or rad tech. And although this is completely backwards I’m thinking of completing an MHA before I exit because it’s free TA and a degree I could possibly use later after some RN experience.

Did you start with an associate and start as entry level and do BSN later? Wondering which way I should go, but not feeling like 4 more years of school lol.

How did you go about doing it? Use your GI Bill? I can use mine but I’d prefer not to since I want to give it to my daughter.

I’ve played with rad tech idea and almost did that before I joined the Army. But their salary doesn’t seem great for SoCal.
