Comment by J & G's Mom(AK Mom) on October 29, 2010 at 11:14am: Jim, sounds like a busy year for Austin. Now you need to make a Movie (CD with all the photos covering the year of 2010).

Comment by Jim Hoyt on October 15, 2010 at 2:34pm: Thanks for all the comments. This will be Austin's 4th graduation this year! (Boot Camp, Corpsman A school, AVT C school in Pensacola, and FMTB at Pendelton) a very busy year for a kid that just turned 19. We only missed the one in Pensacola but will definitely be there to see him "go green".

Thanks again and good luck to all the Docs out there

Comment by Randall Kendall on October 15, 2010 at 1:08pm: "Docs" are amazing people, and you will find they stay
that way for the rest of their lives.
Something special comes to the top and remains over
the yrs and the stories and memories are always the
heart of the reunions....They never forget SF

Comment by Natalie S. on October 14, 2010 at 10:22pm: Congrats to your son! My son really liked his training at CP in the FMTB program. Yes, the grad was neat to see and worth the trip. "Docs" are amazing people!

Comment by Randall Kendall on October 14, 2010 at 1:39pm: Jim, give him our best, both my kids were born at
Pendelton in the old hospital...good place to start at
Pendelton.
He's on his way up...another Doc on his way

Comment by Jim Hoyt on October 14, 2010 at 12:31pm: Our son's FMTB class at Pendleton started yesterday. Quite a change for him as he has been there 4 weeks working at the base hospital waiting for the class to begin. The Marines do add a different dimension to military life and we wish our son, and all other corpsmen in his class, a great and healthy learning experience.

Comment by Randall Kendall on October 14, 2010 at 10:45am: John, congratualtions to the new Doc, I'm sure you
like the new look they have added in FMTB

Comment by John Frank on October 14, 2010 at 10:06am: My son just graduated FMTB-east. He is now officially green with the 2nd Marines, Mobile Assault Group. No exotic port calls for him.

Comment by Mike Scutt on October 14, 2010 at 9:49am: HOORAH

Comment by Randall Kendall on October 14, 2010 at 7:56am: Alan, make sure you plan ahead to see the graduation
from FMTB...watching Blue change to Marine green is a
moment in time you will want to see.
A good corpsman is a solid rt hand to any Marine unit
SF good luck, Pendelton is something to visit also
