I'm planning to be either a medic or doctor in some branch of the military, but don't really understand all they do. Do you still have to go through boot camp, training, and other things as an officer would do?
Because of a spinal injury, i don't now if i could physically do that, but at the same time i really want to. So, if anyone could explain fully what the medical team does in the military, mainly the Marines; that would be great :)
I'm still in high school, if that helps. It'll be a while till i can join in the military.

yes you have to go to bootcamp and corpschool for navy medic we call navy medic corpsman. well the experience i got is hands-on patient care like giving a shot, starting an I.V. and lots of stuff but in training you'll be cleaning stuff a lot. and i think you'll be screened for your condition if your fit for duty.
i'm actually a navy corpsman if you have any question email me at carlothegreat17@yahoo.com

Marine Doctor

The marines actually fall within the Department of the Navy, for lawyers and medicine, so Navy doctors are asked to help out the Marine corps.

Yeah, what he said. The Marine Corps borrows all of it's medical staff from the Navy. You have to go through Navy boot camp, then through basic Corpsman(medic) school, then through a field medic school where you learn how to be a Devil Doc. FMSS(Field Medical Service School) is pretty rigorous and if you have a spinal injury, you may want to consider other options. The same goes for clergy, the USMC uses Navy Chaplains and religious personnel.

Interested in becoming a Navy Doctor, then we will see you after college. Yes, you will have to go through Officer Candidate School (OCS). Even entering as enlisted, you will have to complete basic training (boot camp), then complete Corpman school. All military personnel have to meet medical and physical standards. Depending upon the severity of your injury, and you are still young, the spinal problem may go away as you grow. Ask your doctor if this fits your situation, and if there are exercises you can do to strenthen your back and reduce the chances of injury. if this is possible, you may still be in the running.
I will probably be retired before you finish high school. I wish you luck with your plan!
GO NAVY!!!!

The physical standards are the same whether you go in enlisted as an HM or seek out a commissioning after you become a doctor.
Enlisted, you would go through 9 weeks of Boot Camp in Great Lakes IL. as an Medical Officer candidate with a degree in hand, you would go through Officer Indoctrination School, a 4 week course in Rhode Island. But again, you would still need to pass all the physical tests required.

well far as best I remember the Marines have no medical personel and rely on the Navy for medical support.
