Navy Hospital Corpsman Assigned to the Marines Reveals his Incredible Life Story in Gripping New Book
Corpsman Up! by Cha rlie "Doc" Rose is a fascinating memoir of a Navy corpsman during the Vietnam War.
Tuscon, AZ (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Corpsman Up! by Charlie "Doc" Rose is a riveting autobiography of the author's incredible dual experiences as both a Navy Corpsman and as a Marine.
Hospital corpsmen serve as enlisted medical specialists for both the Navy and the Marine Corps, aboard ships or on shore, in clinics, hospitals or even on the battlefield as medics for the Marines. Marines call these corpsmen "Doc" from a proud tradition. Charlie "Doc" Rose was one such specialist, and in his fascinating memoir, he tells the story of his days as a corpsman, his tour of duty in Vietnam, and the transitional period when he finally came home. Rose seeks to bring inspiration, hope and healing for others.
Rose spent 20 years in the Naval Reserves and seven years in active duty, and his knowledge and experiences bring a startling "you-are-there" authenticity to the book. Corpsman Up! explores both the unique training Corpsman are put through and the seldom described experience of a Navy man carrying out Marine Corps assignments. In clear, powerful prose, Rose gives readers an insider look at combat duty, post traumatic stress disorder and how to deal with severe injury.
Gritty, realistic and deeply moving, this is the perfect book for military members and their families, or for anyone wanting to know more about the armed forces.
