HM/68W to 1811
Any prior Navy Corpsman or Army Combat Medics who made the switch to an 1811 job? If so, how do you like it?
I still have about 19 months until I EAS, but I’ve been doing research into various 1811 jobs to get a feel for where I may fit in best. I have my undergrad in Cybersecurity and finish my MBA next April. I was planning to do project/program management on the outside, but I don’t think the job satisfaction would be as high as it would in an 1811 role. I have a general idea of what agencies I may like best, but it seems that a lot of people say to apply to all that are open so that if you don’t get your top choices then you at least have your foot in the door.
What I loved most was helping patients, and the analytical side of solving their issues, but I’m ready to get out of medicine due to the evolving degradation of military healthcare. From what I’ve read, 1811’s are pretty heavy on the analytics and problem solving, but still have opportunities to go to shoot, specialize in different areas, etc.
