Corpsmen will always be cosidered part of the Corps as far as I'm concerned. Too many Marines owe their lives to the heroism of the Navy Corpsmmen. A heartfelt Merry Xmas and a very happy new year to you and yours Doc, for you and your kind will always be an integral part of the Marine Corps. A majorly big OOOORRRAAHH, from me to you.
