Welcome Reno. Former Navy Corpsman here, too. I spent time at LeJeune, from Feb 69 through Mar 71. I always hear that once a Marine, always a Marine. Also once heard that a "squid" was an aquatic animal that lived in the ocen and s#*t on all kinds of marine life. That was in jest of course, I enjoyed being with the Marines, 1-8, and one of my best friends in life was (is) a Marine.
I believe I already posted, three years at Lejeune 3-2, 0311, after that Quantico, VA, for OCS. I did not remember "squid" for our corpsman until it was posted here. The corpsmans I knew could hold their own with the Marines, and in bar fights they always joined the Marines against the sailors. :-) All the best, to you!
I'm overwhelmed with the welcome and the great people responding. What a wonderful community! Amazing how many former Marines. Definitely a share life experience.
