After more than one hundred years of service, in 1898 Congress finally passed a bill authorizing establishment of the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.
From Loblolly Boy to Bayman to Pharmacist's Mate to Corpsman, we've seen and done it all.
TOPICS: Military/Veterans

My daughter was born in a Navy hospital....
..my mom about passed out when she saw the corpsman carrying our newborn like a football (in the crook of his arm) but it was quite effective and daughter received great care.
I have fond memories of that hospital...very efficient and well run.

My first duty station after Hospital Corps School was Bethesda Naval Hospital. Guess where they assigned me? The delivery room - hah!
