Corpsman Questions
Are HMs really the most decorated Navy rating? I read that somewhere and it would sort of make sense since there are more of them than SEALS and they are one of the only (technically) combat ratings.
What is advancement like for one attached to a FMF? |
Is getting to C School the same process as picking your first duty station? Based on the needs of the Navy (whatever is available) after A school as well as class rank?
|
Most Corpsman don't go FMF but it's a huge rate so there are a lot of people. Advancement is the same for all HM's no matter what field they are in. HM has pretty bad advancement even right now when advancment is good for most rates.

To take the test you have to be eligible so if you are an E3 by the time you graduate A school you have to wait 6 months to take the test. |

My friends daughter has been in now for almost a year..she took the test for E4, passed the test, but didnt promote...many others ahead of her had more "points" and time in..just understand, just because you pass the test does NOT mean you get the promotion.... there are MANY other factors that come into play on getting promoted.

As far as doing volunteer work to gain points, it has to be approved by your command on the type of volunteer work and it takes MANY MANY hours to get the pin for it to count towards points. As far as getting points in A school, you need to be the very top of your class.

Does anyone know what corpsman specialties are eligible for security clearances?
|
Anyone? Or can you direct me to a list?
