Comment by Dany Clark on August 31, 2010 at 11:12pm: My son is just finishing up bootcamp and will then go to A school to become a Corpsman. We are so proud of the path he is on and can't wait to go to his PIR on 9/10/2010. I served in the Army and always had a soft spot for our "docs".

Comment by greg delany on August 23, 2010 at 11:30am: Dellevoet,
Your son will love it there. Marty's boy has been there for 3 months now and is loving life. Off base housing and near the beaches. Good deal!

Comment by Dellevoet on August 22, 2010 at 10:02am: My son Jake just finished A school in Chicago and will be stationed in Pensacola NH by early September 2010

June 17, 2010 Our kids will celebrate the birthday of the Hospital Corpsman. Yes, we should send a card and wish them a Happy Birthday! On a personal note, I remember that date so well for that is the date I swore in and took oath to serve my country (USN) in Denver 24 yrs ago. No I had no idea what I was getting into other than there was a need to surive and since that date my life has been an event full of adventure. Gee it wild to see how life is cyclic 20+ years later now my sons are now following simular foot stops which I was given at their age. As a parent. it is my hope and dreams as they travel the path of life they too suceeed and improve upon the results of the life lessons that I learned.
