it really depends if you want to be a combat medic(you get really good first aid experience) or work in the hospital.
i would go with the combat medic for EMT training
i have only seen combat medics in ranger battalion.
they get to go to ranger school, which is a plus if you like to test yourself.
all ranger medics get EMT qualified and get other special schools.
If you stay in most E-6 medic there get to go to the Special Forces medic course. My friend did that and he is about to become a PA. Plus he got to ride around with the paramedics to learn more stuff. All free education bro.
the recruiters will tell you that you have to do a four year contract
but i have seen guy with three year contracts and one with a two year contract.
hope this helps PM me if you have more questions

Go with the infantry so you can kick some terrorist butts!

certain skills like combat medic may require a longer enlistment like four yrs. Probably because there is a lot to learn. Combat medics are an invaluable asset though. GOD BLESS ALL MEDICS
