Enlist as an Army MOS 68W as an EMT?
So I've been talking to my recruiter about which MOS I could get. Initially I was looking at Intel jobs like 35M and 35F, but she told me that because of a past conviction (misdemeanor assault) I wouldn't be able to get a security clearance.
Another option is to go combat medic, and she told me that because I'm already CPR certified and have my EMT-B, I'd go straight in as an E-4. I also read somewhere that AIT would also be shorter for me as well.
I guess I just want to make sure this is all true. I know recruiters have been known to exaggerate or even lie to potential recruits. Any 68W's out there who can confirm?
Enlisting as an E-4 sounds pretty damn good to me.

Yes...under ACASP you can enlist as an E-4 in 68W with your background.
As long as your license is current you will skip the EMT part of 68W AIT
The part about the security clearance is BS...the f*cking Recruiter doesn't make that determination
Actually, you only go in as an E-4 if you complete a 4 year bachelors degree program..
Is your recruiter an adjudicator? Does she have your completed SSBI in your hands? Then why are you listening to her about whether or not you can get a security clearance?
