HB...
You have elements of many different programs in your post. And some obvious confusion stems from it.
-The first 6 wks of 68W school is EMT-B. Skipping the first 6 weeks skips 6 weeks of training as an EMT-B and as an Army knucklehead in Advanced Individual Training (AIT).
-IF you got jump school in your contract, you may go TDY en-route to whatever your first duty station would be
-Only specific units have the availability to send their medics to SOCM...and yes there needs to be a demonstrated aptitude and an order of merit list is generally followed
-Not sure where you got your "green platoon" information, but that is only for a very specific unit and you wouldn't be going there out of AIT.
-The SOCM course is NOT the ADSOCM course that 18D's (and some other Operational personnel) attend.
Starting from your numbered points down, ALL of your questions / points have already been adressed in these forums. Use the search button or just look and read. Your choice.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
