Corpsman are about as close to Marines as one can get
Ask almost any Marine who has been in combat what the phrase “Corpsman up!” means and he'll tell you it's a cry for what the Marine Corps calls the “angels in green.” These are U.S. Navy hospital corpsman specially trained for combat medicine.
While i can relate to the Navy Corpsman,i am sure the same camaraderie is felt between the Army and their Combat Medics.

I remember running across some Marines one day while I was on active duty and of course some crap talk began... until one of the 0311s asked me what do you do? As soon as I said I was a Medic, all the crap talk stopped. Instead it was, you're alright Doc. Medics and Corpsmen, we always have your back.

Corpmen are one of us. They wear our uniforms, come to family reunions (morning formations) and stand watch with us.

We love our docs. Green side corpsman at least, we treat them like any other Marine.

They're basically Marines, just can have more tattoos, longer hair, and lower hair. They make Marines wish they went green side corpsman. Still get to do grunt shit, but can skate out of some of the gay shit.
