OH bullshit.  A 91B is a wheeled vehicle mechanic.  68W is a combat medic.



Try again you lying sack of shit.

I have absolutely no familiarity with Army Occupational Specialties, I was in the Marines. But to be fair is it possible that over the years the Army has changed the meaning of the Specialty Number? If we know anything, it's not to expect rhyme nor reason in the way, or when, the military make changes.

A 91b was a medic in the army, it is now 68w.   I don't know what it was back when you were in, but 91b was medic when I was serving. We trained in San Antonio TX.  My Airborne training was held at Fort Benning GA.  My home after that was Bragg, with the 82nd Airborne.


Who were You with?


And please stop calling Me names, it makes this all seem cheap.

Naw...  Nothing like that.  Just busting a lying POS on his alleged military service.

rich -t;
"By the way, the Combat Medic badge is no longer exclusive to line medics - from 2001 to 2004, the Army revamped it's MOS classification system. The MOS of 91B (Combat Medic) was removed, and was folded into the MOS of 68W (Healthcare Specialist) - which encompasses a much broader range than the old 91B MOS did. "

I think you may owe Fish an apology.

EDIT: Amazing what you can find on the internet these days.

Thank You. And thanks to You guys for Yours as well. 


You know, You fellas may be the harshest old bastards that Ive ever had the privilege to meet, but I'd bet You're some really great people under all this bs, and probably good to have around in a scrap too.
