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

Does anybody know where all the different HM C-Schools are located? Or are all of them located at Fort Sam Houston. Specifically I am interested in Radiology Tech, Surgical Tech, and Respiratory Therapy Tech.

I would recommend all FUTURE HM's to read this book:

http://www.nationaltraumainstitute.o...-mcgennis.html
Here is a sample of my nephew's book:
Derek McGinnis, a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy, was dispatched to pick up wounded marines during the 2004 Fallujah Offensive in Iraq. As his Humvee ambulance paused on the street, it was broadsided by a suicide driver, whose vehicle exploded on impact and ripped the ambulance to shreds.

If this had happened in a previous war, Derek would be dead. His left leg was nearly blown off, the entire right side of his face and much of his body was mutilated beyond recognition with flying shell fragments, his right eye was severely damaged, and his brain jarred dangerously in the blast.

Through the highly evolved U.S. military trauma system, Derek’s nearly lifeless body made it to a field hospital piled in the back of a vehicle with several other wounded men. He had lost a lot of blood, and the trauma surgeon had to amputate his leg in order to save
his life.

thanks for all the information. Opened my eyes to some other NEC's that I might be interested. I was interviewed for a Secret clearance I believe, not TS cause they didn't talk to everyone I ever new. Are there any of the NEC's that require a TS, besides maybe the sub NEC's?
