 I decided to become a corpsman because I wanted to be something bigger than myself. Anywhere you look across the world, you see that run-in-tea when you really need them, that red cross or that caduce on whoever it is, foreigners or American, it means something. Just speaking from my own personal experience, you're just moving. It's not something that's really driving you. All you know is that your brother's down, that's your family. And in the day, if you don't do what your job is to do, someone's going to die. So just knowing that I have those brothers by my side and knowing that I had the closest family I've probably ever had to my actual family, I did everything I could to make sure they made a home alive. That makes sure that I could say, hey, you're okay, everything's fine. All the care of the sick injured to be a privilege and sacred trust. And we'll assist the medical officer with loyalty and honesty. I will not knowingly permit harm to come to any patient. I will not partake of nor administer any unauthorized medication. I will hold all personal matters pertaining to the private lives of patients with strict confidence. I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to the work before me and shall do all within my power. To show in myself an example of all that is honorable and good throughout my naval career.
