You cant join the marines and be a medic because there is none. Medics you see in marine units are navy personel. After you graduate from naval hospital corps school, you will have the option, depending on availability, to serve as a corpsman in a marine unit as part of the fleet marine force, on either a division, logistics group, or air wing. You will go through additional trainning in field medicine for this. If you want to be a marine corp medic, you have to join the navy. You cant join the marines and be a medic because there is none.

The training is hard but it is fun if ya make it. Field med is a great school and for many it's their first time being around marines and if you thoght navy boot was bad then youre in for a big wake up call. You will always be in the navy but your marines will do anything for you if you do the same for them, they will take you in and call you their own. If you work harder and pt better then you will be a marine, my first Sargent called me a marine the other day. You will learn alot in school but you really don't start learning until you get out in the fleet. I'm with combat engineers and we blow up all kinds of crap, I had no clue when I got here but now I can do the same thing any other marine can. At the end of the day if you take care of your guys and go out of your way to take care of them then you will be just fine, they'll treat ya better then your own mother does! Good luck to those starting your journey, it's well worth the pain! I’m the doc with my unit, I’ve been a corpsman for 2 years now and I love it. The training is hard but it is fun if ya make it.

They are truly part of the unit. The Marine Corps is department of the Navy. As an eight year Marine veteran, I can assure you that the corpsman is an intergal part of each unit. Just like a Marine, the corpsman can get into different marine units. They have corpsman in every line unit in the Corp. They live in the field with us, eat the same chow, and become part of the brotherhood. Many of the corpsmen wore Marine regs (Marine uniforms with navy insignia). Just like any other navy personnel, you have to earn your your respect. I am now an RN and I have often thought about going back into the Navy as a Nurse. That would be a change!! No more living in the mud! I hope that any of you who are interested will look into the corpsman program. It is a very honorable field. The Navy Corpsman is indispensable to Marine Corps operations.
