What do HM's actually do while in the fleet?

Well...him being my nephew I have a unique insight to the HM that is assigned to a Marine unit....he is an amputee and had to over come the many other injuries he sustained when he was hit with an IED...that is why for those that want this rating, it is in my opinion this book whould be read.

I also have a friend whose son was a HM with another Marine unit..he was KIA....very sad.

Thanks sweetmtn. I'll try to check into that book before I ship. I am very interested in the FMF side of HM so this book looks like a good read. That is awesome that he competes in races to help out the Semper Fi Fund despite what he has endured. Good positive attitude
