The photos that you have are when I was with BLT 2/1 The Professionals. 15th MEU. Congrats on retirement, and trust me I get it. I was medically retired at 17 years. I miss it every day.

@DeliberatelyBroken

Awesome video and reminds me why I was a corpsman... 2nd Mar Div 22 MAU (yes dates me huh lol) and 26th MEU... spent some time out in the Turkish Kurdlands when Sadaam was thinking it belonged to him circa 1999... Semper Fi to all yall Devil Docs... it was the best duty I had... sometimes the hardest... but always they best..

[devildawg1990]

@CorpsmanCooper  wats it like

[almiddaugh]

My husband is a Corpsman and was there then. I nearly burst with pride when I think about what he does.

[pillars224]

This video just makes my resolve to be an FMF Corpsman that much greater. Ship out to RTC 20091222. Wish me luck, and if you have any advice id apreciate it

[Cambodia69]

Advice? 1. RTC: Pay attention to detail and don't take anything personally - it's their job to bust your ass. 2. Corpsman A School: Be mindful what you do in your off time. Note: While in A school make sure you get a guaranteed C school as soon as possible. Start doing your research now! 3. In the Navy, alcohol and substance abuse are the most popular reasons for getting into trouble, followed by fraternization, so if it applies, consider quitting drinking and not dating your fellow shipmates.

[luckyfoot2]

cant you get c school guaranteed before you join? or do you have to do good at A school.

[mjtsquints]

once you are a corpsman, never forget what your duty is.

(0000/8404) forever

LOL!!! my hubby is on that video... after pulling a guy from a burning bus.

[OnceAlwaysMarine]

As a fomer Marine, I would like to thank EVERY Corpsman who trained along side me, worked along side me, fought along side me, and was my brother. Mess with one Marine, you mess with EVERY Marine. Mess with our Corpsmen, you mess with the Corps. Semper Fi, Docs

[shaolinwarrior87]

hey i js signed up as a HM Corpsman!! i'll be shipped out to seven lakes 20090427

[mbishop311]

Hey I'm a paramedic and I'm wanting to be a FMF Corpsman. I don't know anyone who's done it and I was wondering if there was anyone who could tell me how to do it right, where I wouldn't get screwed over.

[Kasick820]

Well the marines always need a Doc and requesting to go FMF is what recruiters are looking for. It is almost impossible not to get it. Just tell your navy recruiter and he should be happy to set you up.

[okinawadoc]

I rolled with the 1st Mar Div, 2/5 WPNS Co, CAAT-1 during OIF-1... turned in my 9-mil for an M-16. Corpsman by trade, Marine by choice, but forever dedicated to the Hospital Corps!!! err!

[desfend]

hoorah class 09040. cant wait to graduate and say the pledge!

[krowntaka561]

Nice vid bro..hopefully one day ill achieve my goal of being able to save somebodys life being a Corpsman.

[axonneuron]

[lanowarelf]

[terrismanforever]

My son is at camp pendleton. He's in the last of the training, fmfs, i believe. He's also a navy coreman. Seeing these pictures makes me even more proud of what he is training to be. I'm also very proud of all you out there fighting for us. I wish I could hug every one of you! Since I can't, I'll just tell you I will pray for all of you. For your safety, for strength and endurance, and I pray God will bless you all for your unselfish bravery!

Proud mom of a Doc in training!

Thanks so much

[Navycorp86]

Your not alone my grandpa served back as a marine they said he was a real hardass but when i told him this is what i would be doing its the first time he actualy talked to me about his time in the corp.

hmcs jones (3:54) is now in charge of Field Medical Training Battalion, Camp Del Mar, CA-

I just graduated in December and am off in August.

[noypitohboi]

being part of the most decorated enlisted corps in the Navy is definitely something to be proud of. I salute my fellow doc's out there who constantly exposed themselves to danger to save lives! these acts are not spectacular coz we, as Corpsmen, were required to act, but rather our bravery is exceptional coz its not required, but given freely and willingly in service to our country and fellow humanity!

HM3 RMR (USNR-FTS)

I recognise DOC Slason! he was also on the cover of Time Magazine... Also, a few Bravo Co. 1st Tank BN Marines..

[DistanceAmethystAnge]

This video is awesome! It makes me really proud to be a corpsman. I haven't yet been deployed, but I will be within the next year. I can't wait to go and make a difference. Keep up the good work.

[juanski11]

[frog1234sun]

this video is awsome.. i accouly leave for basic in 8days and in my contract im signed to go to corpsman school and then to FMF i am looking forward to it and cant wait to leave

[zfeint]

Awesome video. I'm currently waiting to ship to RTC Great Lakes on March 11th, 2008; I am going to be a Corpsman and I will volunteer for FMF. My father served as a corpsman, and I am proud to have the chance to do the same. I'd like to talk with fellow DEPpers with similar ship dates!

[axonneuron]

Nice presentation. Brings back some memories. I was a FMF Corpsman for 12 yrs. - 77 to 91 (broken service). Not an easy life but hell, you get to meet some interesting people.

[djburman]

what are the requirements to become a FMF corpsman? or is it like i want to be a FMF sir and 'poof' you're sent to fmss?

[Cparty1]

no, in addition to Navy boot camp and your A and C school you will also have to go through the Marine Corps. basic training.

[FMFIDC91]

Sorry, but HM's do not go through Marine Corps basic training. TO become a FMF 8404 HM, the route is boot camp (Navy), HM A school, and then Field Medical Service School. FMSS teaches what you need to know to be with the Marines.

[mythluv21]

i got out of the navy in 99. but i beleve u stiil have 2 serve with the marines for at least 1 year, and pass a exam, i was marine corps regs, so i wore all their uniforms except their dress blues.and i had to take there pft physical fitness test,i dont believe that is a requirement to become fmf qualified,, ken aka hm3(fmf)93-99 semper fi, devil doc 4ever baby

[liquidgd]

oh and the GC thing about corpsman carrying weapons; thats a joke i had a SAW, a shotgun and an M4 at different times. The SAW is a 200 round per minute machine gun, and i wasn't about to tell them i cant carry that cause of some bullshit on a piece of paper somewhere in a nice clean office in washington, lol. silly paper pushers...

[Aggiesgigem]

Lol liquidgd...SURE *not sarcasim*

[liquidgd]

let me be real honest here, hospital corps school is the easiest part of anything you will do, if and when you go green... there is nothing easy, fun, or enjoyable about watching your own die. i did 2 tours one was during the time line of this video, i watched a lot of young men loose their lives, i was fortunate enough to come home. Becoming a corpsman is not an easy task but it is easy compared to some of things you will have to do as one.

[Cparty1]

I am a United States Navy Corpsman, I ship on August 6,2008. I can't wait to get over there with my brothers...

[pixybell4]

Nicholas Allen Randol swears in today for his chosen field, US NAVY Hospital Corpsman. He will be leaving for basic training March 13, 2008. He is the second of my two sons to join the NAVY. Kirby Francis Marshall is currently training in FL., EOD

[virginiacaz41]

i am a mother of a female corpsman.she is about to be sent to her 1st duty station.i am so proud of her.you all are very brave and admirable.God bless you and keep you safe allways

[mrtran59]

i will soon be a hostipal corpsman if all goes good. i ship out sept 3 08 sense im still in high skewl. i cant wait to ship and start learning. i would love to be out there making a differnce and helping out

[noodlesNY]

corpsman are real heros. god bless america and the military.

[drunkinbunkin]

im an enlisted corpman, i ship out october 10th and i dont quite know what is in store for me but like vivaelaaron--- i can't wait to do my part in bringing these boys home in one piece, well see how much of a difference a 20 year old can make!!!!!

[FMFIDC91]

Shipmate, Keep that positive attitude! Your Marines will need it!! Don't discount your abilities, you will do fine. Be safe. - HMC(FMF/SW/SCW) FMFIDC91

[hmcwheeler]

In regards to Corpsmen carrying weapons, the Geneva Convention speaks to the employment of the weapon, not the type. Soon the T/O weapon for HM's serving w/ the FMF will be the M-16 (M4).

[vivaelaaron]

Great video. It made me tear up a bit and made me feel extremely proud. I signed on with the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman not too long ago, and I can't wait to serve.

[noodlesNY]

do corpsmen get guns when they go to iraq???

[suzannegra]

Yes, since it is not under Geneva Convention they carry weapons.

[fjayalde]

Job well done!

[noypitohboi]

two thumbs up! saving lives is not spectacular bcoz were required to act, rather, our BRAVERY as a corpsman is EXCEPTIONAL bcoz its not required, but given FREELY and WILLINGLY in service to our marines,our country, and fellow humanity, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY!,....HM3 RMR

[navshawn73]

AMAZING! Being that I am in a few of the pictures the very last being one of them, I found it well put together.3/4 Kilo Weps OIF1! Thanks for reminding me of those great guys I served with!

[AmericanAce]

Powerful video using the music from the Braveheart movie.

A reminder to go to many of the Troop Support sites to send Support to Our Deployed Military.

[nerdplay]

i enlisted myself too as a HM. Ill be shipping out next week for bootcamp. for me, the best way to serve this country is to save the lives of heroes defending it.

[colmustard23]

what day do you ship, i leave the 9th

[colmustard23]

and i leave as HM aswell

[KaptajnKaffe]

all my life i wanted to be a soldier, all my life i wanted to fight for my frredom and my country, and this movie make me want to be it even more, im 16 years old and when i become a soldier i will be honered to fight alongside you guys.

-Kasper sieker

i have the upmost respect for you guys, there isn't anyone with so much bravery and courage like you guys, keep it up down there :)

[6Sally5]

God bless you, son...I hope you don't need us.

[Blue112488]

I want to be a FMF Corpsman, but as soon as they see that i am a certified Pharm Tech they will give me a shore duty so fast i will have wip lash

(Reply)

[jmscalercio]

not true you dont have to take that NEC (MOS), and also there are pharm tech billets w/ the FMF. Remember, you will be a Sailor first, a Corspman second, and a Pharm Tech third. Your responsibilities are in that order.

[SMI83]

your full of it. being a corpsman comes first. semper fi

[6Sally5]

Right on. imscalercio must be "blue" navy...I am "green" and damned proud of it. Semper Fi

[6Sally5]

What a fantastic video! It had me crying like a baby. God, I miss being a "Doc". I had the honor and priviledge to carry that 8404 tatoo for 14 years and served with the finest. Now, my daughter married a Marine. He's in Iraq, and I wish I could have gone with him. Semper Fi!

[HM3Johnsgirl]

Army flight nurse here but married a Navy Corpsman.....god I love him and he is going to Iraq this fall. You guys do a great job and I have the upmost respect for you. HOOAAH AND HOORAAH!!!

[pierrenordique]

To all Devil Docs; Thank God for each and every one of you; My Brother is home and alive because of a Corpsman like you, and as he put it, "When the firing starts and all the Marines hit the deck, the Corpsmen are the first to stand up and run to the fallen in a hail of fire". God bless, stay safe, and come home.
