Corpsman are about as close to Marines as one can get
Ask almost any Marine who has been in combat what the phrase “Corpsman up!” means and he'll tell you it's a cry for what the Marine Corps calls the “angels in green.” These are U.S. Navy hospital corpsman specially trained for combat medicine.
While i can relate to the Navy Corpsman,i am sure the same camaraderie is felt between the Army and their Combat Medics.

In the time with the Cav the same happened with the Scouts I went out with. Anything I wanted to shoot, because they knew I was 100% there for them.

US Navy Medical Corpsmen are, by and large, extremely well respected by we Marines. In fact, we may even refer to them as Marines on occasion. They may not have gone to MCRD, but they sure as hell deserve our respect.

As a Navy Chief with several shipmates in the FMF and roots in the Amphib Navy, all I can say is "God bless the Doc!"

I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with a Corpsman who served on Iwo Jima. After recently reading the accounts of the 28th Combat Team from the 5th MarDiv, my respect and esteem for him only went higher. Not only were the corpsman incredibly heroic in taking care of the wounded Marines, they were tenacious and would stop at nothing to take care of the wounded.

After spending time in Vietnam in 1968-69 I have the greatest of respect for the Navy Corpsmen and both Army and Air Force Medics. These are people that can and will risk their own safety to save Your life.
