Do Navy Corpsman get to wear Marine Dress blues???

[flip2001]

To my knowledge, no. There have been instances where they wear other Marine uniforms but must be within appearance standards to do so. Why wear another branche's uniform when you can be proud of your own?

I may be a navy corpsman, or a marine 0311

[flip2001]

A lot of really good advice here...but my two cents worth is this: Make sure you're recruiter knows you want to be an HM and that you want to be an FMF corpsman. Do your homework on this or you may not get what you want. Good luck.

Hey "2012"--I hope I gave you the best recommendation. I was a Corpsman with the Marines. I went on training and patrols and did everything that the 0311s did, but our Mission--our goal--was completely different. The Marines' Mission: Use squad tactics and weapons and so forth to overcome an enemy. MY Mission: Give medical support to them during their Mission. If they got hurt, my job as Doc was to give first aid, get them evac'd to a rear area. I loved my job. God has a plan for you. Ask

@CaptainGaruda no security clearance is needed to be attached to a Marine division. Although, SOME Marine training will be required in order for you to be properly trained to endure harsh conditions and combat tactics. U.S. Navy Corpsman myself. Good luck if you decide to serve. See you in the shit.

@MacDaddie9 corpsman or corpseman?

[lionOFjudah33]

How likely is it that a Corpsman will get attached to a Marine unit?

[CaptainGaruda]

@rccola2022 Thanks. I also heard that the Hospital Corpsman can also be attached to the Marines. To be assigned to regular marines,not the special force one, I don't need to be eligible for top security clearance, right?

Also, if I want to be assigned to marines, I have to attend the training with the Marines right?

[rccola2022]

@CaptainGaruda you can apply to be a seal but its not likely. first you need to be eligible for top secret clearance.. look up the req's on thats. then get a SEAL contract before you go to boot camp. you wont be placed in a normal boot camp division. also before you ship there is a special forces physical. test flexibility strength stamina etc. and dont forget about the asvab
