Hi SDN!
I searched for information on this, but the closest I could find was a post in 2007 that didn't answer my question.
I am currently a medical student and O-1 in the Army Reserve's MDSSP program. As part of the program, I am attached to APMC down in Georgia. I've read about the EFMB, and it is something I'm interested in trying for if possible. It seems like I would need to find a local unit that is testing, and to join them. Since I have very little experience with the military, I wanted to know if anyone here had any advice on how to do that. Would it be inappropriate to call or contact local units directly to ask when they are testing next? Ideally, I'd find a local unit, get the curriculum for the test, and practice the skills over a few months with peers before testing with the unit.
Anyone have experience w/ EFMB in the USAR? I assume I would need to find a medical unit.
I'm close to New York City if it makes a difference.
Edit: I currently have my NREMT-B and CPR, a good APFT, and should have weapons qualifications by the end of the summer.
