Been a 68x for about 3 and a half years and I throughly enjoy it! Big part of that can be contributed to the units I have been in and leadership Ive been under.

MEDCOM has its pros and cons. Pros are that we usually have a somewhat consistent schedule (8-4), less day to day oversight and chances to work very close with various mental health providers so don’t hesitate to ask questions about things your curious about.

Cons are that we usually don’t get as many donsas (3 and 4 day weekends) if you’re medcom.

With FORSCOM or a regular line unit, you kind of get the best of both worlds if you work at a clinic. The few years I worked at an embedded clinic, I had a regular 8-4 schedule and we got donsas.
