Default Re: Air Force medic vs Navy Medic?
Yes, Hosp Corpman, will probably in some form or fashion, at one point in their tours/careers handle a number of clinical practices that CNAs, Med Tech, RNs/LPNs, and PAs all perform on a daily basis. I feel writing your state legislature or Gov. Will not do a bit of good. Although, I have read somewhere that Cali. allowed those in the health care ratings with adv. NECs/MOS's (all branches) can challenge the LVN State Board. But, it boils down to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. Politics are strongly invovled in those who make the decisions. Think for a moment.
If I could join the military for 4 years as a Hosp Corpman, then walk out and get a job paying $25.00 an hour as an RN. Why would their be a need for CNA,MA LPN, RN,BSN,MSN, RT,PT,PTA, of study in our Nations CC and Univ. Yes the Military will train you for a Job ---to do IN the military. The only enlisted profession that I know of in the Navy, that one could litterly walk out of the military and not have a 2/4 year degree in that profession and get a well paying job, is the Navy's Nuclear program.
Sure, come join the N.A.V.Y. (Never Agian Volunteer Yourself) we have many job selections all of these may POSSIBLY carry over into a civilian career. "You have a bright future, in the United States Navy".
I would not trade my time in the Navy for anyting. I've been to 12 different countries and had great liberty in all of them. It paid for my Bachelors degree. But, life is not about a piece of paper one holds. It is the experience and journey one goes through. Live life to the fullest.

Time Enough for Love_ by Robert A. Heinlein.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects."
