"Decommissioned" Corpsman

[DocDillon]

Just found this sight - looks good so far :-)

Been around the Navy since 1968. Started out in Boot Camp at Great Lakes. From there to the USS Shangri-La (CV-38) 1968-1969. Back to the Lakes for Corps School 1969-1970. Then NNMC Bethesda MD 1970-72.

Inactive reserves till 1975 when I went back on active duty for two years on the USS Franklin Roosevelt (CV-42). Active Reserves Environmental Preventive Medicine Unit, Forest Park IL till about 1979 or so??? (I'm getting old so my "short-term" memory may be going. I'll look it all up some day. :-)

Doc Dillon;

Can you narrate a bit on the duties of an underway Corpsman, perhaps what an average day would entail? What it was like reporting on board etc..
