I am Schuyler Glahn, I’m 17 from Owensboro Kentucky. I am very interested in the Marine Corps, and i was hopeing to find a medical based job within the Corps. My grandfather was a medic in the U.S. Army in Korea and i very much would liek to follow in his footsteps. However, I want to step it up and join the best of the best. Is there any type of feild nursing jobs, jobs kind of like a civilian E.M.T would do or are the nursing jobs all based in a feild hospital? I have been doing intence physical training for teh past two years in preperation for teh Corp, but only recently have I decided on a job path to take once enlisted. I also plan on becoming an Officer after getting college sufficiant credits, which hopefuly would make me elligable for a wider range of jobs, but I am not sure on the way things work entirely so a reply to this letter with some information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely: Schuyler Glahn
