its possible since certain combat roles are opening up to women. and is army the branch to go in to... well thats up to you. i can say, i respect army combat positions highly. i can also say your civil service is commendable to the highest degree.
As food for thought, watch "restrepo" on netflix. its a live documentary tracking an army unit through the korengal valley in afghanistan. restrepo was their medic. all of it is raw and uncut, so its a real eye opener. please watch it, highly suggested

You can enlist 68W Health Care Specialist (Combat Medic) but the chances of you being deployed with a Infantry Unit is highly unlikely, most men fill those positions while the females are stationed at hospitals and emergency rooms. Technically the MOS isn't a "Combat Medic" but a Health Care Specialist.

With operations winding down in Afghanistan, the odds are slim. Just face facts, you will be just a plain medic. You can't really call yourself a combat medic until you've earned your combat medical badge.
