Summary
Dedication, hard work, and pride in your trade Is an Incredible skill learned as a Hospital Corpsman. One thing that is guaranteed after the years in a field that offers little to no physical, mental and emotional comfort is that you give every task that ls given 100% no matter how difficult it is. The skills and lessons that I learned as an Emergency Medical Technician as well as a Senior Line Corpsman for a combat unit will remain with me for life. The ethos of being there for those who depend on you no matter what, the constant education and drive to be better than the day prior, and the leadership traits to put others before myself are characteristics that displayed on a daily basis and will continue to display wherever life takes me.
