Love the old salt. Nobody like an old Chief. One of the greatest men I ever had the pleasure of meeting was AGC (aw) Bob Skiba. Not a Corpsman, but just the BEST guy you could imagine. He's still out there somewhere! Love ya, Chief!
Most Corpsmen, if they're any good, remember every time they have had someone else's blood on their hands. When a Marine is wounded in combat, before he calls for his mother, or even on God Almighty....he calls for a Corpsman.
I’m in corpsman a school and all my instructors always say marines only call for three things when wounded. God, their Moms and Doc. I’m going to be Doc one day and be a damn good one.
@@fobbyP Study, study and then study some more. There is so much to learn. But it's like the old question, "how do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time.
@@fobbyP One more thing. When you aren't studying, you should be working out. You don't need a gym, but if you have one, use it. The Marines have no respect for a Corpsman who can't carry their own load or who can't keep up. Know your stuff medically, pull your weight and don't complain.....be humble. But also be willing to fight the battle for your Marines if you know they're sick or injured.
I served as a Corpsman from 1965 to 68. Worked in receiving and I.C.U. in vietnam and in the field with a field unit until wounded. Suffer now with PTSD for all the death and injuried patients I dealth with. War sucks
It never changes for the 8404... Warning, you will randomly cry for those who you couldn't save, for the rest of your life.. HM / 8425/8404/0000 (FMF/SW) 1980-86
It's a dirty job and no one needs to do it. The truth is that all corpsman are custodians! We clean toilets, sweep the floor, mow the lawn, pick up garbage, dispense cigarettes to hobos, tell runaways to go home. You know. Important stuff!

And that's the Gospel truth!

OOrrah! As an old 8404 Devil Doc from Nam I can relate. Once you go green you never go back. You will never forget your fist casualty.
Semper Fi!
I'm a retired Navy PA, previously HMC(SS). Sure miss the Navy and most of all being a Corpsman!
Outstanding , thank you!
I love this.
Hm2 FMF, 1986-1996 used a unit one that was nylon bag.
Seems so long ago like it never even happened. But I was a hospital corpsman with the Marine Corps
Motrin= Corpsman Candy 🍭. Respect to the "Old Breed".
Marine: Hey DOC I have a cold, broken leg, I was shot can you treat me
Corpsman: Yeah here’s a large bottle of Motrin 800
What is three hardest thing snout being a Corpsman? 😥 Heavy.
