“I was a corpsman. My best memories in life are the time I spent with the USMC.”
I will be sure to brag on you to my retired Master Chief Corpsman coworker. He will be proud of you.
If I had stayed in I probably would be a Master Chief about now, at the least I would have been retired as one. I might have worked with your friend.
Ask if he ever spent time at:
Navy Hospital Camp Pendleton
or
KMCAS
