I wouldn't have put "US Marines" at the very beginning, but it certainly is no big deal. It can be confusing, since the USMC uses Navy corpsmen (unlike the other service branches who have their own medical corps).

FWIW, I considered myself to be more of a Marine than a Sailor, especially since I was the the USMC my whole tour. Actually, I enlisted in the Navy specifically to be a field medic, since I wanted to serve with ground forces yet did not want my primary directive to be killing people. Not that that prediliction would have proven to be any deterrent if the situation demanded it.

Thanks, Joe. It really is all pretty confusing to me, but as long as you're not upset about it, that's the most important part!
