[DJImfamuos1408]

i cant belive there is a dislike. but great video.

[OperationRebuild]

very good video. RIP for those who sacrificed their lives so that I may enjoy my freedom with security. I am joining the ranks, as a Army UAV OP. Glad to serve my Country Proudly.

[hardbrown16]

i leave december 7th for bootcamp and i got a contract for HM. I hope god gives me the strength to fulfill their foot steps

[redNitemare01]

HA Jason M. Castricone (8404) here to tell you that this job is awesome but its scary. I'm only 19 but I get to tell all my high school friends that went to college about what I do and show them pictures and they all get really jealous :P Proud of what me and so many others have done, are doing, and will continue to do.

[MrSteelerfan58]

Thanks for posting this tribute. My son is an FMF Corpsman and will see Afghanistan after the first of the year (2012). Needless to say I will be worried sick about him until he returns. He told me he wants to tag out a Corpsman and send him back home to his family. May God Bless our military, and a special blessing for the DOCS.

[GunnyG6]

Man this video is motovaiting as hell. I just graduated from EMT school last week and im strongly thinking about joining the Navy and doing the whole corpsman thing. Much love and respect for these men and women.

[NavyMedicUSMC]

Yeah Baby! That's my boys right there!

[TotlaMadDrummer95]

Thank You to all the servicemen and women! God bless you all

[BlackIce20201]

REST IN PEACE, TO ALL THE BROTHERS WHO HAVE FALLEN..

[BLSmatt91]

[jefferyl0928]

@Fuzionrider Go Corpsman. Its the best job in the world.

OOHRAH to all Devil Docs! Former, current, future and of course to our brothers that gave their ultimate sacrifice. Semper Fi Docs.

I was a Hospital Corpsman from 1988 until 1996, and I was extremely proud to have served my country in this capacity. " A Corpsman is a sailor with certain medical skills who would go through the very gates of hell to treat a wounded marine." anon. Most people haven't the slightest clue what a Corpsman is. Thank you for such a eye opening tribute to a special group of people.

[samuel112313]

love the video

[BobSit]

Retired as a Navy Corpman in Jan 88, from the Air Wing at Cherry Point, did several tours with the Grunts. Watching this video brought back many memories. I actually wish I could do it again

[Spev142]

OORAH Devil Docs!

[MegaLaidback]

Corpsman make things good to go.

[B627599]

I am an old Corpsman, I served in Viet Nam with 1st Mar Div. I am proud to have been part of the Few, and the Proud. Docs took care of our Marine, but also our Marines took very good care of us. SEMPER FI!

[shaolinwarrior87]

@B627599 Hoorah!! The Marines took care of us Docs as well

[498847]

OORAH

[shaolinwarrior87]

thanks for the video, makes me feel better about my job as a new HM in the US Navy =)

"Where Marines and angels fear to tread, there you'll find a corpsman dead!"

[Fuzionrider]

@shaolinwarrior87 was the training to be a corpsman hard? im thinking about doing it, or the army

[shaolinwarrior87]

@Fuzionrider it really depends on you, to be honest, it was not hard for me, but i have seen a lot of people drop out of my class during training, and also they are gonna be tough on you, The HM rate is the most highly decorated rate in military history, earning more medal of honors than medics in any other branch of the military, and we also run with the FEW and the PROUD, it is bragging rights up for grabs, do you think you have what it takes? thats js my experience though

[sdopfel]

What kind of pt standards are there for corpsman?

[shaolinwarrior87]

@sdopfel it is the same standard set foward by the US Navy, but once you go into Field Medic Training Battalion with the US Marines to become FMF( Fleet Marine Force) HM, things get tough, you basically become one of the Marines and their lives are in your hands

[chandlerswatch619]

God Bless the Hospital Corps, but as a Former Marine Especially BLESS the DevilDocs!!

The 2 fastest ways to piss off a Marine:

2nd fastest: Mess with his hot chow while in the field

The fastest: Mess with his Doc!!

Semper Fi

Howie from Chandler's Watch

PS Devil Docs Ain't Squids they are Marines w/out rifles!!

[shaolinwarrior87]

@chandlerswatch619 HOORAH!! several guys in a bar learned the hard way in San Diego when i was attached to 1st mar div in pendleton as their HM, i never got to lay my hands on them because my marines got to them too fast lol

[doc69erz]

Outstanding video, powerful and touching, it re-ignites the pride in me that I served as an FMF DevilDoc and ran around with the loudest, smelliest, smartest and bravest group of guys I will ever know.

[csgal65]

As the PROUD mom of a Corpsman, I thank you for this video. Good job. Bravo Zulu!

[ScubaSt3v31993]

i am joining the navy in 6 months i meet all the physical requirements for a corpsman i just have to do good on my asvab and i am in

[4212fmj]

TAKE CARE EVERYONE...HAPPY 4TH...SEMPER FI....Derek Goodine

[Herbymac0811]

Hey Doc is just as much a marine as the next guy . Any corpman that deploy's with an FMF to combat earn's his EGA ! Just as much as we did !!!

[tonyb619]

as a corpsman its the pride u feel when u come back and u see a marine who u saved and his family says thank u for bringing back my son.....

[dochousemom]

thank you for this beautiful video!! My son, HM3 John D. House,,, KIA 1/26/05... was very proud of being an FMF Corpsman... and loved his Marines.... tragically he was killed with 30 of them on 1/26/05......at times the pain is so overwhelming.. I feel I can't breath....thank you for this beautiful tribute.

[phoeni7]

God bless you "dochousemom"

[csgal65]

As the mother of a corpsman I am in awe of the sacrifice your son and your entire family have made. My heart aches for you. I have lost 2 sons, not through military conflict, but can feel your pain all the same. There just are no words.

[radargod1977]

@dochousemom

Ma'am, I never knew your your son but, I wanted to give you my regards and thank you. I could never feel what you have felt as a mother. Every day, I tell my daughters of the men and women who have sacrificed in the hopes that they will realize what a great nation we live in. Rest assured Mother, my children will know your Son's name and will sing songs of his bravery. With warm regards.

[tokingandwoking]

@dochousemom Thank you for raising a defender of our country, and our people, and everyone else in the world! Your son is a hero, forever!!!

[BlueAvenue22]

@dochousemom I'm so sorry for your lost. But I know your heart is filled with pride for your son, he sounds like a great young man and I wish I could have met him. The world needs more men like him, those who put themselves in harms way to help others. God bless.

[CELIBERICO]

I assisted in putting to rest HM3 Mendezaceves. I was an RP3 at the time and an acolyte (altar assistant). The funeral Mass was very emotional even for me and the Chaplain (Lt. Tiongson) I started off as an HM but felt called to the divine.

..I have a special connection with Corpsman..and honor their deep servitude and great help.

The mother screamed and wept as we carried her son away..after we put holy water and incensed his coffin as the Roman Rite calls for...he is with God now........

[jayveemateo]

Great job! OOrah! I'm proud to be one of the DOCS!

happy 110th birthday.

[ikeelkhorn]

I just DEP with the navy to be a Corpsman and i cant wait to do my part.....OORAH

[nerdplay]

once you get to corps school, you will be stressed out by exams, watch/duty, pt and field days. once you get out, life starts as a corpsman.

[USNCorpsman]

Semper Fi, Doc Baez. A former Marine turned Corpsman you truly are greenside! Ooorah!

[kylesgonegolfin]
