Father of Fallen Marine Promoted to Commander
Getting promoted is a big day in the career of any service member. Sgt. Todd Hunter tells the story of a special promotion at the Pentagon.

You can by enlisting and/or going through OCS and becoming an officer. Another way is have degrees in a professions like law, medicine, dental, etc...that you can enter as a staff officer.
Thank you for your service Commander Krissoff. Inspiring for us all and a great way to honor your sons memory. Much love
It's because he's a Corpsman, they're commissioned by the Navy and then act as part of the Marine Corps, Marines see Corpsmen as fellow Marines because they're serving the Marines in a great way. And that's why it's being covered by the Marines.

God Bless you and yours.To sacrifice your boy upon the altar of freedom. Unimaginable. Semper Fi sir !
Unique story.... Thanks for sharing !
this man is the true testament of courage... losing a child is hard enough. In this world of hate and righteousness honoring his son this way is the most admirable and self-sacrificing thing i have heard about in a long time..
I enjoy watching stories of our armed forces and our US cousins armed forces, especially those stories of brotherhood and bravery, but this story stands out from the many I've watched over the years. Now, as a Dad to a young boy myself, I understand just a little more what loss and sacrifice means when you are a parent. What this man did was exemplary.
What a great situation.Well deserved,and much needed.Our brothers and sisters in arms need all the medical help we can get.Semper fi!
A great Father that has taken up where his son left off.
Semper Fi Doctor. Excellent job ! ! !
My Mom is a Commander in the Navy! She works in the Operation Room.
God Bless you Commander!!
Commander ( Dr.) Bill Krisoff, USN: What a Bad Ass...... Thank You, Sir , for Your Son's and Your Own Naval Service, from a Former Enlisted Marine and Soldier, Sir🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🌎⚓👿🐶🪖💣💥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇲‼️

SEMPER FI Doc. Much respect along with my condolences for your loss. OOHRAH

Yes. But many Marines accept corpsman as their own. You see many marine gathering or motorcycle clubs, and they usually only allow marines and corpsman.
This doc examined me when my left knee swole up to 1.5 times normal size and sent me by routine medevac to Kuwait to get a scan of my knee. I happened to be the one on the table when they were doing a story on this guy, and if you watch this video I’m the Marine in PT gear being examined.
Semper Fidelis .God Bless
Awesome what else can you say. True American hero,
HE MADE HIS $$$ AS A CIVILIAN....NOW HELPING OUR MEN....IN THE SERVICE...IN MEMORY OF HIS SON!!!!
Happy Fathers Day! Enough Said.

Just for clarification.. Naval doctors get to the rank of lieutenant (O-3) and since he is a commander (0-5) the original comment stating that “he is probably a captain” means that he is, presumed to be now, a 0-6 ranked officer (or a colonel in any other branch).

How can you not admire Commander Krisstoff? I am not the least bit surprised that President Bush approved...he so dearly loves his military!

Semper Fi Sir.
It has to do with what command or unit you're attached to, for example, sailors deployed to Army commands in Afghanistan will wear army multi-cams.
