HM's in the Fleet Marine Force � � The Fleet Marine Force (FMF) is one of the many areas that today's Hospital Corpsman must operate. Stories of Heroism flow from this branch of our multi-fauceted field. The FMF was established on December 7th, 1933. Since the inseption of the Marine Corps, the HM, or Doc, has been there. � As a Hospital Corpsman, you will have the responsibility of being the only medical care that a Marine gets in some cases. The role of the HM while stationed with the FMF is more expanded than that of a corpsman on "shore-duty" (stationed at a Naval Hospital, or over-seas clinic). The Marines that you are assigned to will see you as a direct reflection of the Navy, and in turn will base their opinions of our service upon your demeanor, and appearance. � Where ever there is a Marine, a Corpsman is there. The FMF Corpsman, also referred to as "Green Side Corpsman", must have a great deal of confidence in his/her abilities. The warfare device below is earned by qualified naval personel stationed with Marine units. This warfare device came into excistance just recently. Previous to it's enseption, a FMF ribbon was issued. I could fill up 1000 pages about the FMF. This is just a general overview of our purpose. If you have any further questions regarding the Fleet Marine Force or the FMF Warfare Program, please contact me, or call your local recruiting office. � �
