[@brandonlewis5476]

Future Corpsman here, leaving next month. Been trying to prepare mentally since early last year. Keep the videos going JT, you're definitely one of the reasons I feel so confident going into my navy career. Peace fam!

[@jtmnavy]

awesome brother good luck in basic keep kicking ass !!

[@robertlyon8009]

Hi, My uncle was in the Marine Corps from 1939 to 1959. He liked to say the meanest Marine was a Navy Corpsman.

[@navy4735]

the Navy Corpsman are truly legendary..........their actions and medals testify to this.

[@NICKYMGTV]

respect!

[@veelamipeti267]

I'm joining the Aus Defence Force as a corpsman next year once I finish my college degree this year. SO glad you did a collab with a Corpsman!! Just solidifies my decision. YEEEAH JT KEEP 'EM COMING. I also subbed to Nicky!

[@jtmnavy]

awesome brother cheers !!!

[@flyoverkid55]

What's crackin' JT? Thanks for the perspective on good old Navy life. I've been out for a lot of years and still have an interest. Thanks for your service.

[@jtmnavy]

u too brother

[@goodnightemanon]

Thanks for your vids JT! I'm 19 years old in the process of joining the navy and wanting to be a corpsman. I'm hoping to be green side! All of this info is very helpful!

[@NICKYMGTV]

i'll post more videos about it. Subscribe and i'll make sure to post one this week.

[@goodnightemanon]

NICKY MGTV much appreciated! Definitely just subscribed👌🏼

[@flyoverkid55]

+ tristan perez. Green side rules! Both sides have their bullshit, but green side gets you into real medicine, and once you earn the trust and respect of your grunts they will do whatever it takes to stay on your good side. Like the Marines say, " No better friend, no worse enemy ".

[@TheRVANDY9]

hey, i just got on some of JT'S videos. Your reply was about a yr. ago. I was a Corpsman with India Comp. in Vietnam, in 1969-70. Hope you are enjoying your time as a Corpsman. Let me know, ok? [e-mail]

[@tigerpopp6543]

Man thanks for making a more in depth video! Corpsman is something I'm trying for, greenside of course. Wanting to retire!

[@colemannn3083]

[@themegameat6873]

Omg the video I've been waiting for!!!!! Thanks for this jt! Much love ❤️

[@MarkKrubsack]

Good stuff. I was a pharmacy tech from 1977 to 1980. C School was at Balboa hospital in San Diego. Stationed at NAS Pt Mugu and CBC Port Huneme. Got out after 4 yrs as E-5. Loved it!.

[@Jhootie]

Hey bro you should do a video on what credentials from corpsmans A school/C school etc.. that transfer out of the navy into civilian jobs or college credits . Navy COOL maybe as well.

[@mattweirath8443]

Hey man just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. I'm leaving for great lakes the 25th and you really helped me out!!

[@FlockedfinderHQ]

thanks for having him on!. definitely going to sub.

[@NICKYMGTV]

thanks!

[@fpdiamse]

HMs come in all shapes, colors and sizes! FMF-GREEN, Surface/hospital-BLUE, Expeditionary-BROWN...tall, short and stalky... bobo and even smart...either way most of us "get'some" We're a proud rate and we are everywhere!

[@jtmnavy]

wannabegammer 11 soon my brotha !

[@seandoyle392]

This vid was a huge help. I'm going in as a corpsman and am still trying to figure out if i want to go blueside or greenside, thanks fam.

[@NICKYMGTV]

thanks man! if you have any HM questions hit me up.

[@TheExtremeLOL]

I was thinking of going into the Marines or Navy. Being a corpsman on green-side will give me best of both worlds?

[@NICKYMGTV]

Yes, yes, and yes! Many Corpsman wanted to be marines, but wanted the benefits of being navy.

[@ffr.splash]

you should do a video about the different uniforms/camos in the navy love your vids man 25k hype

[@_VALVID_]

Awesome video!

[@HALFRlCAN12]

#AskJT How do you feel about females having the same dress uniforms as males?

[@thatevoguy192]

I feel differently about Airframes advancement tests. There's O and I level then there's platform specific which I found out on some exams it can fuck you if you have no experience in those fields. Maybe you got lucky and your exam covered what you worked with all the time.

[@jtmnavy]

Sole Purpose I felt like the airframes exams were easy :/

[@pbtech782]

Needed this video a year ago before I became an army medic haha. Good video

[@kayleygilliland4573]

Got my HM contract a couple of months ago I leave this September loved this vid!!!

[@NICKYMGTV]

welcome to the HM community. Hit me up if you have questions.

[@kayleygilliland4573]

Thanks man and will do! :)

[@jtmnavy]

#ASKJT Which rates dont often leave the ship when they hit ports

[@tannertutt8543]

what up fam! I was wondering... on like Sunday's at boot camp, what all is there to do? Is there like a hang out spot or anything?

[@maxwell8306]

Do u get to choose blue side or green side or is it just assigned? Answer would be really helpful.

[@poppyseed3182]

id like to know this also

[@Kyle-zy7ny]

@@poppyseed3182 idk If you have the answer yet but I'm an enlisted corpsman and its assigned. You dont have a choice. You can try and pick billets for either when you pick orders but it's all up to the detailer who chooses for you. I wanted a ship and I got greenside.

[@poppyseed3182]

trevor dennis thank you. I’m hoping to be Hospital Corpsmen, so I can get a few certifications and trainings.

[@Kyle-zy7ny]

@@poppyseed3182 unfortunately that's not the case anymore. Due to navy funding there are no civilian certifications you can get in the navy any more. I'd reccomend the airforce since they still certify their medical techs as EMTs.

[@poppyseed3182]

trevor dennis I’m not interested in the Air Force, but thanks

[@alexisdeleon688]

hey JT!! so i'm contemplating whether or not joining. leaning more towards joining but i read somewhere online that HM rates can be over crowded and that sometimes they don't have space for new recruits? that worries me since Corpsman is really the only thing i want to do in the navy. any words of wisdom?

[@L3_Media_Group]

+JTsuits How times have changed. The yellow shirt rivalry was with the grapes, in my day. They were always in our way. That's funny.

[@305tabby]

a mafia for everything lol

[@colinboothman2698]

I've been waiting for a video on this

[@NICKYMGTV]

hit me up if you have any videos you want on HM's

[@colinboothman2698]

will do, I just subbed :)

[@majidelkhatib6213]

Can u do a video on Naval special warfare? #askJT

[@b4ds33d2]

i was an HM 8404 and SW on a FFG. never really considered "blue side" to be anything other than being on a ship.

[@2Coxonaboat]

Great Navy Mash!!! Love the So Cal tubers!

[@NICKYMGTV]

Thanks EMT Kimber I know you have been waiting for it!~

[@2Coxonaboat]

NICKY MGTV Definitely man, you guys motivate me to work hard so I can enlist. I'm about 25 pounds away from my goal so looking forward to the future.

[@mauriciobrizuela8757]

0 dislikes good job jt

[@therealonnahhh]

Do you see a lot of female Corpsman who get to do FMTB? I'm enlisting as a HM but I want to do FMTB. I want to experience different aspects of the job.

[@sinkiller112]

I'm not sure if my info is 100% accurate nowadays due to the changes but I believe females can go green side but not with infantry.

[@therealonnahhh]

JS Lee Oh okay, thanks!

[@NICKYMGTV]

It's only difficult because females can only go to the field medical training battalion in North Carolina. You can still go with the marines and positions for women are WIDE open as far as opportunities.

[@jordantobias9137]

You made 25k man good job

[@jtmnavy]

thanks jordan !

[@ShaynaB]

I leave August 2nd for boot camp. can you talk about possibly family back home? my great grandpa is getting older and I'm not prepared to lose him is he passes while I'm gone.

[@NICKYMGTV]

I talked about this a little in my video with mama bear titled "how to tell your parents you're joining the military". Sorry about your situation :(

[@Juan-tn8rr]

#ASKJT Which rates dont often leave the ship when they hit ports.

[@liljamario1]

Hey JT, I'm going to MEPS next week to pick out a job and I just wanted to know how does the whole process go, do they just give an option or two? Or do they give you a wide variety to pick from?

[@tjefferson213]

Been watching you for 6 months now fam! Thank you for all youve prepared me for, I ship out in 2 days on January 9th. Any last minute tips, advice, hints? Also is there a way i could contact you why im at the hotel tomorrow?? Via email,facebook, snapchat etc..?

[@NICKYMGTV]

[@tjefferson213]

NICKY! Thanks man, you got a subscriber! They delayed me 3 days cause of a fever lo so I leave the 12th now. At least I got some more sleep and thanks for the advice. ANy thoughts on volunteering for leadership while there??

[@SolomonsWisdom]

[@iamzane7995]

Is now a good time to ask a question? What's A school like?

[@kole4792]

I've had flat feet since I was born and it doesn't cause me any problems but when I was in 7th-8th grade I had custom orthotics for my shoes, would I be accepted into the army?

[@sparky918]

[@sparky918]

[@Chunkiemoney12]

[@datguy197]

Question: I know this is petty but do fmf corpsmen have time to lift? Lifting is a big part of me so once I hit the fleet how much time do you get?

[@bandito_burrito1819]

fam. You need a facebook page. How are we supposed to share jtmemes without jtfacebook?

[@jtmnavy]

[@eliaszepeda4987]

Ive been watching your videos and you motivated me to join the navy but I only have a GED Would I still be able to get in or what do i need to get in

[@xyxyxyxy2533]

#askJT is it better to join the navy/coast guard right after high school or to do rotc, and what are some job that officer have and what do they do, do you think it's better being enlisted or being and officer

[@naples4962]

thats not nickys channel in the descp. thats a old episode

[@jtmnavy]

[@tbucks9953]

Question for FMF training on Greenside what is the level of physical fitness you need to be at to complete the course?

[@ygriqo227]

#askjt how did you study for ASVAB ??

[@HALFRlCAN12]

Teriq Royal He's already made a video on that fam

[@zbraddock]

^^^^^^^^^ SUB TO NICKYYYYY FAM ^^^^^^

[@vanessagutierrez5340]

how long is C school for the corpsman working with marines? my bf is joing the reserves and leaves to boot camp in march, then he said something about A and C school. how long is he gonna be away?

[@josephlang6719]

One more sub.

[@austinbarrett5633]

#AskJT Can you talk about all you know about a Gunners Mate? thanks so much! you've really helped me prepare for bootcamp!

[@bandito_burrito1819]

#askjt Future sailor here. Just picked my rate. Got my first choice, AD, so excited for that. What would you say is the best aspect of AD? Thanks a lot from Upstate NY :)

[@highvibes6116]

does the greenside corpsman have to meet the same physical standards as the pft for marines?

[@Sad-Reference]

Does Greenside help with promotions or moving up to the special operations community?

[@itachi3612]

#AskJT In boot camp, do you have to shave down there too? 🙂

[@yomommaNyadaddy]

how do you join green side? i wouldnt mind blue side but being with marines is badass, do you get to pick or is it based on chance and random selection?

[@Reedster49]

You don't really get to choose. It is based off what the military needs at the moment and your athleticism.

[@addacdd]

I hope some one can answer this for me; my ultimate goal is to be a Physician in Psychiatry or Family medicine and looking for ways to pay for school. I know there is the HPSP but if I don’t get into medical school first I can’t use it so then plan B is joining the navy as a Corpsman and continue with medical experience. I currently work at the VA hospital so I’ve been exposed to a lot. But my question is since I have my bachelors and when I go into boot camp I’m considered an E4 possibly E5. I did research online but I want to confirm if that’s true? Yeah I could go the officer route but I can’t think of any officer ratings that would be considered medical???

[@terrilatsch42]

hey...why is Boot camp and A-school so fucking shity at great lakes?

[@naples4962]

heyyyyy im early agian

[@colinboothman2698]

#askJT The army came to my school and when I talked to them they said in the Navy you can't choose your job, you just sign up to be in the navy. but in the army you can choose what you want to do. Is this true?

[@jtmnavy]

Colin Boothman that's bullshit ,, u pick ur job for the Navy at Meps

[@1999Jerod]

What happens if someone flunks an A/C school class? Do they hop right into the hard stuff too or do they ease into it? Are the grading systems in A/C schools the same as how they grade in high school?

[@1999Jerod]

For Navy

[@NICKYMGTV]

You normally have test which measure your grades. No one expects you to go to the school and know this stuff the first day. It is intense but every school is very doable.

[@1999Jerod]

NICKY MGTV Thanks, do they normally give you home work and grade it? Are classes the same time everyday too?

[@NICKYMGTV]

same times daily usually. Homework is normally just studying the material you went over in class to prepare for the test. There isn't much busy work besides the studying aspect.

[@1999Jerod]

How often are the test? Are they like midterms and finals?
