I was deployed from SEP2009-MAY2009, I was in Japan for a little while and now I am on leave in Tucson, AZ... I finally got through to the call centers, and they gave me a number to an HM1 that deals with specific problem, although she has not returned my calls, with my luck she is on leave as...

My NREMT-B certification expired while I was serving in Afghanistan this year, I have already tried calling them, but I was on hold for about two hours... I am curious if anyone has dealt with this, I have read a few things here and there saying that I have to produce military orders, which will...

schulz- its funny you say that, because all of my Marines think the same thing, they are OK with jumping off a 4 story building, because the thought that runs through their head is "nah, Im good, docs here, he will fix me"... haha But I love working with Marines, being a Corpsman is the best job...

the first patient I treated, was without gloves, and brass from the Kiowa helicopter was falling all over us because we were getting fired upon from a cave above us... haha...

I am a line Corpsman on a Embedded Training Team (ETT) we train and mentor the Afghan National Army... At my Cop I have 3 marines with me, and we are co-located with a CO. of Army soldiers. but we are almost done, we go back to Japan about a month...

Yes, I already have all that locked on.. You give them a copy of your orders and they grant you an extension to get the requirements needed to get a renewal.

I am a FMF Hospital Corpsman serving with a Marine Corps unit, and am currently deployed to Afghanistan, I was an EMT-B prior to joining the Navy, and I think it is a relatively a good idea, depending on what your friends goals are. The Navy's Hospital Corpsman are arguably the best enlisted...

yes sir... nothin as good as the OEMS course using live tissue... probably the best training I have recieved as a corpsman... It has come in handy several times while here in Afghanistan...

if you get deployed as a reservist corpsman you will probably go on patrols and convoys with the marine corps, you could also be in a aid station your entire deployment, there is really no way to know until you get your orders and figure out what unit you will go to, and what your job is going...

hello, I am a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy, I am currently a FMF corpsman which means that I am serving with the US Marine Corps as a field medic. I am also NREMT-B... Currently I am in Afghanistan with a small team (3) of marines... As a reservists I believe that you must be FMF which means...

they are a good company, lots of good gear, most of the medical gear I am issued is from NAR.... they make these cool 14g needles for needle decomp, pretty cool, for field, and tactical medicine.

yeah, if things get bad enough i might be placed in the posistion to call for fire, or CAS... see being in a Embedded training team, or mission is train and mentor tha afghan national army, therefore there are only 3 marines and one corpsman (me) so if it gets bad enough they might call upon me...

haha... i was issued a M9 for this deployment to Afghanistan... you know where it is when i go on patrols or convoys? by my bed!!! haha i never use the damn thing... i just carry more 5.56 ammo.. in the firefights we get, a M9 is useless. the enemy is always hiding far away in the mountains...

i just get mad when someone in kuwait gets the same entiltlements as i do... im here on the FRONT lines of afghanistan, going on convoys and patrols getting shot at almost every other day, while at the same time some guy in kuwait gets the same hostile fire pay, and harzadous duty pay as i do...

cool, cool, when i went there were 4 FMF corpsman including us, 3 PJs and a couple of SEAL corpsman... righto, im ready to slay the taliban from here to pakistan...
