If you are active duty this course is offered depending on your unit or as a reenlistment option. If you are reserves this can be given to you directly from the recruiter. Ask him if he has 68Wm6 openings in the local units. The course is significantly shorter than the civilian version of the course but the certification you receive is the same. Since it is shorter they cram a lot of information into a short amount of time and lots of testing. the M6 course (LPN) is offered primarily to the MOS 68W.

You will have to first serve as a combat medic. A combat medic can be assigned anywhere the Army needs you, with ground troops, to an ambulance service, a clinic, a major hospital, anywhere. When it is time to reenlist you can request to be sent to the Army's LPN course (called 68WM6) in Fort Sam Houston, TX. This is a one year long course. The majority of LPNs are assigned to wards and ERs at Army hospitals. If you have completed the LPN course you cannot go on to be a flight medic, you would need to do that before the LPN course.
