Oh cool, the medic wants to talk about war and tactics.
Please, do continue...
I learned something today. Used to, most SEALs refer to their medical man as a “Corpsman”, which is the Naval billet, and Medic was a US Army billet say for Special Forces. In the past, many a SEAL take umbrage at any reference as a Medic, however that changed in 2006, when Navy Corpsman now fills the billet of “SEAL Medic” and they attend the Fort Bragg Course as part of their initial SEAL Medic training.
Now they are more of the Special Operation Forces rank structure.
Anybody know if the SEAL Medics prefer to be known as Corpsmen or as Medic?
“Oh cool, the medic wants to talk about war and tactics.”
The last person I would want advice on how to fight a war is a medic.
Like asking a janitor how a company should be run.
Medics in SF outfits are, well, to put bluntly, SF warriors. They know a thing or two about such topics.
I’m not defending their stories, but, in his defense, the medic is first and foremost a fully qualified SEAL, having earned his Trident like all the others, who has then been assigned the specialty of medic. A SEAL team comprises many, if not all, such specialties, making them as self sufficient in the field as possible.
