My beloved U.S. Navy Hospital Corps just celebrated its 126th birthday. I served as a Corpsman from 1994 to 2000. My time as a Corpsman was hard and worth every blood-covered, puke-smelling, trauma-inducing moment.
Hooyah Navy, and Happy belated birthday to my Corpsman shipmates.
âThroughout history, corpsmen have been awarded 22 Medals of Honor, 174 Navy Crosses, 31 Distinguished Service Medals, 946 Silver Stars, and 1,582 Bronze Stars for heroics under fire.â - Chief Hospital Corpsman Xavier Perezmendez
