The Hospital Corpsman's Pledge

I solemnly pledge myself before God and these

witnesses to practice faithfully all of my

duties as a member of the Hospital Corps.

I hold the care of the sick and injured to be a

privilege and a sacred trust and will assist

the Medical Department Officer with loyalty

and honesty.

I will not knowingly permit harm to come

to any patient.

I will not partake of nor administer any

unauthorized medication.

I will hold all personal matters pertaining

to the private lives of patients in strict

confidence.

I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to

the work before me.

I shall do all within my power to show

in myself an example of all that is

honorable and good throughout my

naval career.

The Hospital Corpsman's Pledge

I solemnly pledge myself before God and these witnesses to practice
faithfully all of my duties as a member of the Hospital Corps.

Not if nutburgers like Michael Newdow, The Ninth Circuit Court, or the
ACLU has anything to say about it...

Thanks for the ping. Excellent article and some well deserved recognition for the heroes too often overlooked (IMHO) on the battlefield.
