HM can depend on a few things on what they do...basically you are the civilian side equivalent of a CNA, Certified Nurses Assistant..you take general medical information, temp, pulse, and write up the complaints. Hand out asprin or tylenol...if you choose as a male to be trained as a medic for a Marine unit to be deployed with them, you are much higher and do a lot of things an EMT would do to prepare an injured Marine or Soldier to be transported for sugery...my friends son was a navy HM medic with a Marine unit..he was killed in action. My nephew was a navy medic with a Marine unit and was blown up with an IED, and lost one leg...just know what you are getting into when you choose to go with a Marine unit.
