Got a wild idea? We build for service members — not the brass, not shareholders. If it's good, it ships.

65 weeks at JBSA — the longest AIT pipeline for a non-intelligence, non-aviation enlisted MOS. The Army invests more per medic ($108K training) than per infantryman ($47K) because medics save multiple lives.
A civilian EMT course costs ~$1,500. The Army's 68W pipeline costs 72× more — because they train for gunshot wounds under fire, not just car accidents.
68W AIT includes clinical rotations in actual San Antonio hospitals. The medical training is substantively equivalent to an EMT-B + additional trauma certification — a pipeline that takes civilians 1–2 years and $15,000.
