Doc is good.
A Corpsman is the only sailor a Marine would buy a drink for. Corpsmen went into the jungle, mud and dodged bullets with them and if one experienced a severe wound his link to life was that Corpsman. If a Marine confused a corpsman with a deck ape he was green, and had not yet been across the pond.
