Brian, since you were a corpsman with a Marine company, didn't they give you a hard time about that long hair? Ya old hippy.

When you're not in the "rear with the gear" no one cares about anything but covering each others asses. As long as you don't half step when someone yells "corpsman up" Marines treat their docs like they were gold.

I know, even a snuffy like me got away with kinda long hair. I remember a young Army lt who almost had a siezure when he encountered me in the bush. It was just me and several of our local RVN militiamen. Gues I was a bit scaggly.

Brian is right we Jarheads worshipped our Doc no matter how he looked because we knew that when the call was given they went "above and beyond" to save their Marines!! Thank you Brian and all the Docs!!! Semper-Fi Bob
