....Docf225, Gawd I love Corpsmen! The only ones on the field who care about Marines more than the mission - and used to be the only ones who ran toward impacting fires w/o a weapon... I used to have to remind new LT's that they were MY Marines not his. Now I get paid to run into Burning Buildings - same job; better pay. Semper Fi Brother Doc

2/4, 26MEU Got to see ALL the garden spots.

Hudson Deleware (now Valley) Council Class of '80. Now ASM with the same troop I grew up in.

Hey Gunny, While not technically a Jarhead I am a former FMF Corpsman who served exclusive with the Corps from 1981-1994. Now I'm a LT with a career Fire Dept in NY. I am an Eagle Scout (Class of '80), Vigil Honor OA (Past Lodge Chief), former ASM. Last fall the local council held an "Eagle Scout Reunion" of all Eagles who either earned the award in the area or earned it elsewhere and moved into the area. There were more than 400 Eagles in attendance. I ran into the Scoutmaster of my old troop and he "gently" reminded me that the program could always use leaders. So after a bit of shift swapping at work I managed to get meting nights off. I help out where I can and as the rotating shifts allow. Leadership is leadership whether it's recruits or scouts.
