With only 3 percent of the Army’s medical community wearing the badge, it is widely considered a crowning achievement to Soldiers within the 68 career management field. “There is typically an 80 percent attrition rate,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jason M. Morgan, first sergeant, 86th Combat Support Hospital. “Everyone thinks the EFMB testing is just medical, but it’s not. In order to pass, you need to have a well-rounded medical Soldier that can use a radio, that can ruck; they have to know what they are doing with various weapon systems. It’s way more than just first aid.”
