Medics in Training, Ft. Sam Houston, 2007, pt. 2


Fort Sam Houston is in San Antonio Texas. I was there from November '06 to April '07. Before being placed in Foxtrot Company, I was originally in the now famously infamous Team Warrior 2. The first "Team Warrior," a year prior to the second, was a collection of extra and maginalized soldiers who were near-failures in the MOS training. Due to all training companies being full a seperate paracompany was formed. This group of misfit soldiers took the Team Warrior name and then became criminals and "reclasses." They graduated 25% of their class.

Well the new Team Warrior was formed simply because there were too many soldiers at Ft. Sam for training at the same time. The combat medic MOS shared two titles at the same time 91W and 68W. This overlapping changeover is what caused the mess that resulted in my group remaining in AIT for 2 extra months. We were put in hold-over status twice.
