Hi, did you leave basic training? On your leaving interview did you say that you were interested in becoming a Combat Med Tech? Leaving Basic Training once will not hinder you - you have passed all eligibility checks and if anything it will help as you know what to expect. There are lots of people who take a couple of attempts before finding out what they want to do and where is the best fit for them. Good luck on Take 2!!
