This interview turned into more of a podcast. Basically, it felt like we were hanging out. Thanks again to Doc G for coming on. Hooyah Navy! #military #usnavy #marinecorps #rdc
Thanks Chief, it was great talking to you and loved just hanging out! Id love to swing by again sometime even if its just to shoot the breeze. I hope the viewers understand my giddiness, I'm a fan of the channel and its rare I get to talk to a fellow sailor these days and love talking about that part of my life. Thank you for watching!
Being a corpsman really afforded me the opportunity the affirm my love for the medical field. Got out after my 5 years and 1 tour in Afghanistan and became a nurse. Because of my extensive trauma exp and skill set, I’m actually making more as an RN than the rest of my graduating nursing school class. Definitely wouldn’t go back in willingly, but I really cherished my time and learned so much along the way. Very thankful for my time in the Navy 🇺🇸⚓️
Currently at corps school with intent to request fmtb on monday! I found your channel the night before I left for corps school WHILE IN MY RACK (1306) because my rdc's were cool and let us keep our phones that night. You did this interview at the perfect time, chief!
Happy to hear! I wish I had spoken more on what to expect at field med, had I known you would be watching I would have elaborated more, but unfortunately I don't think we spoke too much about the devil doc university experience, in all fairness it would deserve a video of its own just to summarize it. It is a tough school, but surprisingly it had a lot more to do with training a sailor on things like: how to read a map, how to work an M16, how to throw a grenade, how to work in the field, etc.. and just overall trying to bring a sailor up to speed on Marine things, there definitely was medical training involved too, but it is a fairly challenging course overall physically and mentally. Thanks for volunteering and it always makes me happy to hear from people going into that field. Getting to serve with Marine infantry was the coolest and most exciting thing I ever got to do in my life and I don't think I will ever be able to top that experience and time in my life and the friends I made there. It might not be a bad idea to get with the chief and do an interview after you make it out of field med and give a much more up to date run down on it. Id love to listen too. Feel free to hit me up for any questions as well! And best of luck to you!
Hi I have a question I know in other branches boot camp you get phone time on sundays do the navy offer that same thing like some free time to call home on sundays ?
When I went in 2009, no you don’t get phone calls every Sunday. Sunday is “holiday” and most people wrote letters, folded clothes, took long showers and went to church.
I'm sure someone more qualified will be able to answer better as my information is a bit dated, but just in case you don't hear from anyone more recent than I: Do not expect too much communication via phone with home or anything outside of boot camp. When I went through RTC in 2003 I believe we only called home 3 times in total. Once when you arrive, once about midway through, and once near the end. You would typically get some free time in your birthing on Sundays, which was mostly used for writing letters (you can use snail mail), shining your boots, ironing your uniforms, and other little things, but you typically don't leave your birthing unless you are going to religious things on Sunday. Obviously things may have changed and perhaps you do get more phone calls now, but I don't want to set your expectations too high. Hope that helps.
Nope no phones you put your phone in your ditty box on night of arrival and then you won’t see it until grad you get phone calls but you gotta walk to the store to make them and it’s up to the rdcs as to how frequent calls are
@@authormorgan4331 thanks for the tips I don’t know how to swim at all do you have any tips for me that’ll help me pass I chose the navy because they gave me the best opportunity to raise my asvab score ?

Good to see you're back making videos. I remember when you dipped for awhile. I know the new sailors are going watching these and appreciating it!
