Here's a link to some info on the current Commissioned Corps:

It's an expansion of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps That was my first thought too. I have worked with those guys, they are a bunch of really good docs.
They were fun to watch on the ship, most had never been deployed on a ship and were now LTs, and had no clue how to be an officer.

Yes, the part that’s frightening is that it’s a SEPERATE corp.
