For seven boot camp-like, rifle-toting, blister-breaking weeks, the Navy and Marine Corps team up at Field Medical Service School (FMSS) East to mold standard Navy-issue corpsmen into Sailors good enough for the Fleet Marine Force (FMF)

  • I was in E6709 Delta Company October 1967......went to Nav Hosp Oakland, CA , and then to USNMCB10 ( Seabee Battalion Corpsman )  Was originally a corpsman styker on the USS Coral Sea CVA-43 on Yankee Station ( Tonkiin Gulf )

    Looking for anyone else who might have been at Pendleton when I was there.

  • The 'meh' was for the offer to create another command.  'Meh' means 'it's not important'.  What did you think I meant?

  • Thank you for the disrespect David! Meh - really?

  • Meh.

  • Welcome! You can request from the room owner to build your own command, I have a couple of requests pending. If you want LeJunne, K Bay or some other base/command submit the request.

    Semper Fi and thank you for your service!

  • I was being a bit scartastic.  I was only seeing comments from Pendleton.

  • David for anyone who "humped" with the "Corps" the elite of the elite!

  • Completed in August 1967 and then it was off to RVN

  • Leguene 1976, then 8th Engineers, French Creek.

Does Anyone remember my Brother? FMSS early 1967

Hello to all, and Thank you all for your service!  My brother HN Gregory P. Vercruysse went through FMSS at Camp Pendleton the very first part of 1967. He went to Viet Nam in late April, early May 1967, then to B/1/26 H and S.   He was on Hill 881S. While on a patrol he was mortally wounded in an ambush on June 7, 1967 while aiding a wounded Marine. If you knew my brother I would appreciate hearing from you, and my apologies if my terminology is not correct, this all happened when I was 8 years…
