SmokeEater!
Best of luck to you buddy! I have to admit, there was a time where I kind of snickered when it came to viewing our Corpsman, they were always in the HumV's when we were on our humps(A hump is when ya throw your 60pd pack and you go on a nice little 15 - 20 mile hike), some of them would hump with us but the majority of them would just catch a ride. It wasn't until I went out to Bridgeport and did the summer package for the Mountain Warefare Training School that I gained my respect for you guys. We had this one Doc, that was kind of out of shape and we all thought he wasn't going to be able to hang. But hell if he didn't prove us all wrong, he was huffing and puffing but he was with us every step of the way!!!
With your work back ground you shouldn't have a problem and that Corpsman shool that you are going to be going to, is no joke from what I hear! So just hang in there and stay tuff. The one thing I will always carrry with me that I learned from my time in the Corps is that whenever you think you have just given your all, you come to realize that instead of giving that 100% you still had 110% left in you and that is all you'll need to carry you through! Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and the rest of your buddy and mind will soon follow suit.
So good luck to you and take care of those DEVIL DOGS!
