DT2 at NAVHOSPORL from May 1968 - Aug 1970. I was stationed down the road at Sanford NAS and got orders to Orlando when Sanford closed. When I got there it was still Orlando AFB and since they initially sent more Dental Techs than Corpsman I wound up working for MSGT Hunt in the pharmacy filling perscriptions as a Dental Tech. Chief Charette was our Educational PO and got me started on the road to my college degree. Anyone remember the time we started blowing up dozens of surgical gloves from the helium tanks stored in the dental repair section? I confess I started the whole thing since I was working in dental repair at the time with Art Eady. Still have my plank owner certificate. Memories....

Greg, if we thought you crapped on the group, silence would have NOT been our response. :)
I stayed in the medical field. I got my first EMT license in FL in 1978, then my WI EMT license in 1980, then my WI Paramedic license in 1990 while in the USNR. I worked over 30 years in WI EMS. Working as a Paramedic was as close to working as a Corpsman that you could get without being a PA/NP/MD. Had to retire because my back finally said "DONE !!". 2 fusions and 3 surgeries so far, with at least two more to come.
