murphy5713 marines always care for us .

I was an FMF Corpsman with K co.,3rd plt. 3/1 Vietnam 1966. I spent my first months in the field eating1952 c-rations left over from the Korean War. I was HM3,so I was the senior Corpsman. I sleep with the plt.commander,right guide and 3 squad leaders (Sargents). I went on at least one patrol a day in areas from rice patties to bamboo jungles. I was usually shot at least every other week. Had more close calls that I care to remember. My junior Corman caught the tail end of a frag grenade three weeks before I was shot on an ambush. After spending five weeks in the hospital I was returned to the battalion rear pending orders. I was finally reassigned to first medical battalion for the remainder of my tour. I and up spending a total of seven years active-duty, and I am proud to say that I consider myself more Marine than sailor.I was presented my Purple Heart in the hospital by Lieutenant General Lewis Walt, who is the top Marine in Vietnam at that time. He told me that the Marine Corps was proud of me and that I was a "Marine".

The last month and a half or so I was in Iraq we were kind of in transition or whatever so I managed to knock out my PQS and board within about 4-5 weeks. Got pinned in front of my platoon (I picked up HM3 before we deployed and got pinned in the field with my dudes. I hated the HM2 and HM1 that came out, so as a fuck you to them I actually had one of the Cpls pin me).

Went to corps school a month after 9/11, did corps school in Great Mistakes Illinois, did Field med school at Camp Geiger, got attached to 1st BN 8th Mar, did 2 Iraq deployments over 4 years; including operation phantom fury, went to Naval base Rota and worked for the ER for 3 years, then got out.

O.k this was interesting to see and watch. I was a corpsman 1980-2002 retired FMF Master Chief but clearly things have changed a lot over the years. I have to watch more of your videos.

Great talk about the way the green side is today. I was an FMF Corpsman during the Vietnam War. I can't say enough good things about how great my marines treated me.

JUST GOT HM, Ship out on the 23rd of Jan. 2018 for basic. TY Nicky, you definitely influenced me with my choice. I got very Lucky with MEPS, I had to go through 3 times because of a Vision Consult. Once I was going to swear in, I simply asked for corpsman and was granted it within 1 minute.

What stuffs are you talking about @Nicky?

My college roomate's best friend was a FMF medic at the begining of the GWOT. I just assumed he was a marine because he came to visit with 2-3 young marines. The marines treated him with a lot of respect for a 22-year-old. Later on I heard about the fire fights in iraq, the corpsman running into a fight to put on TQ on wounded guys, riding back and forth between front lines and aid station to make sure his marines were taken care about. Mad respect.

Nice job guys Doc J, HM2(FMF) Johnson here, Camp Lejuene, good info but you guys should mention that until the Marines call you "Doc" you haven't gained their respect. You are just a corpsman to them. When you have that title then you know you've made it. I spent 12 years straight FMF until I went to a hospital. I ended up retiring at 15 years.

Hell ya! Great vid bud!

As a retired Army Infantryman I have mad respect for our Medics and the Navy Corpsman. Our Medics get jacked up by different branches in the Army also. My Medic buddies some have worked in the hospitals but like the comradery of being in any combat arms units like Infantry, Armor, Cavalry, Combat Engineers, and Artillery. Medics assigned to Airborne units really love it there because they are also Paratroopers. My friends in the Marines tell me the same for their Docs also.

Love the corpsman and everything they do for us.

Very helpful guys!

Blue side in a hospital in totally lax. Feeling Rollie's comment there. I worked in sterile supply and the OR, usually side by side with officers. When I was scrubbed in assisting a doctor, we'd talk to LTs and LTCs like we talked to fellow HM's. They were our circulating room nurse and it was not your structured, typical military environment. We were on a first name basis with a couple of them, and even hung out outside of work. One nurse and her husband lived a block down the street from me. Even did a white water rafting trip with a couple of our LTC anesthetists. It's a slightly different ball game in the hospital setting. I loved it as much as I loved being in the Fleet.

Went to Hospital Corps School in 1966. First Duty assignment was Quantico Naval Hospital. Volunteered for FMF training and went in early 1967 (Camp Pendelton) Volunteered for Vietnam. Spent the rest of 67 and 68 in Vietnam. No Navy Regs back then. FMF were automatically USMC regs. Might have stayed in if I could have stayed Green Side. HM3 on discharge at the age of 20. When I volunteered to go to FMF, I was being trained to run the Orthopedic Department...9-5 job. Too boring so I volunteered to do what I thought I was trained to do. Semper Fi my brothers.

The question I have to all who are serving and who had served as a HM ( Corpsman) What path would you consider taking after leaving active duty, as one here was able to work as a civilian on a base? How many remain in the medical field and do they know the choices when they get out? The Green side , you learn the tradition and respect and honor, becasue it is very structured in the green, whereas the blue side you are so relaxed as it was mentioned in the video .

Any tips for girls going this route trying to go green side? Been a dream of mine and wha I’ve been training for for a while now.

The only reason why I want to enlist in the Navy is because I want to be a greenside FMF corpsman. I honestly could not imagine working in a clinic or hospital or on a ship. (Kind of ironic for enlisting into the Navy). When Matt said that there were only 1 set of orders to go FMTB I was kind of concerned about not being able to go greenside. Does stuff like that happen often? And if I am in good shape and can handle being FMF, would it be likely for me to go greenside?

And with things seemingly winding down in the desert compared to a few years ago, is it still likely that most males will have a chance to go greenside? And finally, if I was to start blueside for any number of reasons how easy or difficult would it be to switch over to greenside? Thanks and great video by the way!

I've had some experience with dressing changes after my dad had a major stomach surgery, the Doc let me change the dressings for a couple weeks while he left it open and I had to stuff gauze in, but that's totally different than a trauma situation.

I had a Chief in Corps School, he was attached to a marine air wing and he did CasEvac and MedEvac, earned his FMF and MAW pins with them, and he went in as a Air Crew, like I said, he was a blue side and got orders to go green side, made the best out of it.

So if you decide to go "green side" as a corpsman, will you be able to choose seebees or marines? also if you choose marines, do I decide what position I want to be in like infantry corpsman or logistics?

My state exam for EMT is coming up but I could always reschedule it, but I'd really like your opinion on if I should get state certified, I do plan on traveling but I'm not sure if being state certified would get me a bit farther than by just going in without it.

To answer your question, it really won't make a difference. Rah!!

If the Navy is undermanned in a certain area you'll find it all but impossible to cross-rate into something else. If you want to be a Corpsman, then hold out for it.

I see, and as FMF, do you participate in fire fights with marines and get taught how to shoot/fight as a marine or are you just at the marine base as a doc? I really need to know

i was in the process of setting up my asvab test, have a problem with papers, just gotta call up an office not too important, but i took the practice asvab and scored high enough that the recruiter said i'd get HM

I wish you would talk to the women corpsmen.

I did 10 years active duty, the last 7 with the Marines. The guy on the left had it totally correct about the duel chains of command. It's frustrating as hell when the Gunny tells you "everyone" will be here or there and the Chief Corpsman sayings they have something mandatory for the same timeframe. You would think after all these years of Doc's serving with the Marines they would have figured it out by now. I used to give the Company Gunny a list of all the guys we needed to see for physicals/immunizations etc and when.....and I did it as far in advance as I could and let them hash it out. I would also remind the Gunny as the time got closer, so if things fell through (on their side) my rear was covered.

TideFan Yankee Technically, doesn't your chain of command come first? Being US Navy, the Marine Corps can't override any order given to you by your superior officer of your own chain, except i think a Flag Officer.

Blade you're thinking too far in to this. Because you're a corpsman with navy and marine corps obligations and have people appointed above you you'll always be balancing. This has been happening for years in the mom and dad situation.

When I was on float (WesPac) it got even more interesting. While onboard the ship the Corpsmen went into the ships medical rotation. We stood watches as the duty Corpsman, saw sick call of not only "our" Marines but ships company and were responsible to the ship's chain of command etc.... When we went ashore on an operation, my chain of command changed to the Marines exclusively. One of the "rubs" is and I told this to the Marines, "if they put me in a position that might violate my medical treatment standards they can, but first they will have to sign a statement saying what I told them and that they agree to take full responsibility for what happens after". If they signed, it's on them. If not, then I did what was medically indicated, because the Marines CAN'T save you from the Navy when it comes to bad medical practice. While I loved serving with the Marines, I wouldn't let them hang me out to dry either. And yes, there are some, not a lot, but some Marine Corps officers and Staff NCO's who's memories about what Doc told them can get "selective" you might say when things go bad. As the old saying goes, "if it's not in writing, it didn't happen".
