Everyone here has tasks of their own to do, most are current or former military. To spend personal time answering inane questions from kids who are not yet ready to go to a recruiter's office (whose job it is to answer your question) to find out about different MOSs and the length of a training program is not, IMHO, a productive use of our time. Do you think if you walk into his office, you are not going to be able to leave without signing up?
You log on to an SF site and for your first post, start demanding information not directly related to SF. This is not in keeping with the intent of this website. You have not yet been hired by a department which would dictate your availability for training for an undefined MOS, which you have yet to research with a competent authority. Yet you want answers here about MOSs and lengths of training for conventional Army medical training.
Please ask a recruiter and make some decisions for yourself, to include finding out what your possible employer might have as a policy before asking non-SF related questions here again.
You really need to focus on your 25 meter targets, make some decisions, and not waste opportunities to ask good questions, by doing your homework before asking, especially in someone else's house. You are young and have a long road ahead of you, but be aware, some things will not work out the way you have them planned and you are making a lot of assumptions. Regardless of what you do, always remember to maintain your situational awareness.
I have just "given you" everything you need to move along the path.
Good luck.

I appreciate the constructive critisism, but not the insults (calling me childish and a kid)...I'm not being childish, I'm not playing games, I'm very serious about signing; I just don't feel that working with a recruiter 1 1/2 years (approx.) before I can even sign is necessary...I'm not going to get into explaining myself in the areas where it will do no good here...As far as the whole department thing stated above, it's a small agency where many have applied and few will get hired. I have some contacts within the agency who have made it clear that I shouldn't give them a reason not to hire me (as in 'losing' me to the Military), and wait till I'm off probation to get all the pertinant information needed to join the Army. So, I can't go that route.
I also wasn't demanding information, I was asking (for the record).
Anyways, thanks anyways, guys. Much respect to all of you.
