My weekends at drill mostly consists of sitting around (no joke) till its time to leave. Most of these medical units cater around 68Ws. And I imagine other units are probably the same way. My unit doesn't even have x-ray equipment of any kind to even practice or teach positioning with. There's no special hospital that we go to or anything. When it comes to the Army reserves, our MOS doesn't do anything. Its the Army reserve side of the job I don't like. Its my civilian job too and currently I'm working on getting my registry is Cat Scan.

If you have any questions about the mos and/or career itself, shoot me a message. However, after some digging, I found this on ARRTs website, and seems right after you get back from AIT you should be good to go to take your board exam and start working in the civilian world. Most common is having an associates degree and going through civilian school. And I know there’s different avenues to taking that board exam.

You use ARRTs certification to obtain your state license as well. I will say this, you absolutely need to be certified by ARRT before a hospital will hire you.

You will be assigned to a nearby clinic or hospital and as a student, you will perform X-rays on real patients under the supervision of a technologist, as well as, assisting in fluoroscopy exams and learning how to use a C-Arm in surgery cases as that is also part of the job. You’ll also have clinicals to learn the actual job itself. If AIT is anything like the civilian program, then it’s just a lot of class work, learning a fuck ton of anatomy, X-ray positioning, and technical factors about the X-ray equipment. I currently work for Department of Veterans Affairs as a radiologic technologist.

I entered in through ACASP, so I went to civilian school for radiology and then joined army and got to skip AIT altogether. For example, last drill weekend, all we did was humvee license training lol and this coming weekend, we are establishing a field hospital and doing mass casualty care stuff.Īs far as AIT goes, I can’t help. So just expect a lot of medic training and what not. You won’t be taking X-rays and stuff unless you get deployed or something. On drill weekends, You’ll mostly be doing a lot of cross training. MOS directly translates to the civilian world.
