Like one person already said, your NEC's, if you have any, make a difference. You can get certified as an EMT, medical technician, LPN, phlebotomist, and several other medical occupations. There is also the USMAPS program, which is United States Apprenticeship Program. You can log your hours to get an apprenticeship from the US department of Labor. Also, be sure you take your SMART transcript to the Navy College Office. They can help you figure out what all of your Navy training will mean to civilians and towards a degree. Hope that helps. Fair winds and following seas!

I'm not a medical expert, but a corpsman at that level Is about the same as a big city EMT/ paramedic. So if you want to be on "Third Watch" there you go. I really don't know how they compare to Nurses. The skills are more advanced I would think. We are looking for EMT's in the Phila Fire Dept. by the way. Short staffed, lots homeboys shooting each other to fix. Over 250 murders in Philly & it's only August. The herion OD's are more than that!

im not sure, but i can explain what an HM2 is.
its a navy corpsman. I guess the best way to explain what they are is a mixture of field medics and nurses. They know their medicine and cures really well. They are great on sports injuries and the like.
And in that famous photo of Marines rasing the flag in the pacific. One of those warriors was a corpsman.

it also depends on what your NECs are.. Physical therapy, Radiology, Phlebotomist? At the very least, you could probably directly translate to an EMT or Paramedic, depending on your actual qualifications.

Besides EMT you could qualify to take test for LPN. If you are looking don't forget the VA as potential employer.

It depends on what you do? Can you be more specific?
