Makes me proud to proclaim - I was a 50%er. Or was that 32% of those that recycled SOMED at least once before completing SFQC as an 18D. (It made me a better medic!)

But then again I didn't do SFAS it was called SFOT in '88 before this study.

For the OP, you and others do what you feel best, but if you are not up for the challenge why even apply? As Eagle5US said, SF is a calling, not just a job in the Army.

Also, back in '88 most of us didn't get to choose what MOS we wanted after selection. A committee used ASVAB and other pre-selection tests to best fill the ranks. They wanted me to go through 18E training, I asked to be a medic instead. I'm glad they allowed me the opportunity.
