    God Bless Navy Corpsmen! :D

    http://www.navytimes.com/article/201...e?sf31380875=1



    "Then-Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (FMF/SW) Jonathan Kong, right, earned a Silver Star for rushing into heavy fire to save a Marine. Kong is seen here with former 5th Marines squad mate Lance Cpl. Marshall Kotchasak. (Marine Corps)"

    This only really came to my attention because this guy was a neighbor to a some of my buddies in his home town and they grew up with him.

    Navy Corpmen have been pulling Jarhead asses out of the fire for over a century now They don't get the credit they deserve

    The Marines certainly give them credit.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    Navy is a lower form of Marine life.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    Navy Hospital Corpsmen have been around since 1898. Yeah I know a lot of Marines owe their lives to Corpsmen, but the general public doesn't even know what they are.
