It's a great move. I was a corpsman (greenside). After I got out, I went to nursing school and now have my BSN and will be finished with an MBA Healthcare management next semester. I credit all of this to the Navy. You'll never be unemployed.

[@capalot6028]

this is my exact plan, just hope theyll let me in with a waiver for my asthma

[@lorimcintyre360]

I actually remember you from “A” School, I was a instructor there when you went through. Congratulations on making rank you will be a 1st before you know it.

[@bendak5473]

Physician assistant schools love corpsmen and medics. You usually need some direct patient care experience to apply, and theirs is pretty much equivalent to any other nurse or EMT applying. Of course you have to possess a Bachelor's first, so on top of a good GPA and work ethic you should be golden for that path. In fact the first PAs were corpsmen who'd seen combat in Vietnam. They're a midlevel provider (so decent pay), you get to see your own patients, participate in surgery, etc. it's a very lateral field, which is great if you're not interested in nursing but don't have the time for med school.

[@aizengenesis3761]

I want to be a Physician Assistant and I'm considering joining the Air Force as Physical Medicine or the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman with a Nursing Associate Degree I think the pay is better as a hospital Corpsman they give a 25,000 dollar signing bonus

I was HM3 1964-1968; lots of changes since my time.

[@CristinaGarcia-us8rw]

Yaaaaaaas! Thanks a million for making this vid and interviewing her. I’m leaving for bootcamp in dec. my rate is actually corpsman Dental how wild. Perfect timing. There is not much info on corpsman dental and I’m happy to get more info.

[@NinjaTrollzTV]

Cristina Garcia I’m leaving for Corpsman December 11th!

[@AustenAlexander]

hopefully it helped some!! Feel free to DM her on IG and ask any questions that you have

[@ismaillouback347]

hey how are you?my girlfriend is going to boot camp could you talk to.her about it. she is going for a HM as well. it would be amazing if you could give her some.information.

[@karlyb8804]

Ayyye I’ve been waiting for this video !

[@AustenAlexander]

hopefully it was decent! haha

[@captsunny9946]

In 72 went continuous service from USAR mos 91Q20 (Pharmacy) to USNR, secured my rate as H M2, and saw that the opportunities that the Navy offered were amazing for Corpsman, and very flexible. Made HM1 on first try, and there again saw how you were respected as a non com, and as a Corpsman. Shame I couldn't keep my personal life at the same standard! Oh well, time matches on. I da do have dress HM1 patch affixed to my canvas ditty bag for my boat, and enjoy some of the occasional remarks from other fisherman.

[@dwkvideos]

Yeah I wanna be a corps person when I grow up, I hear the FMF ones are handsome as fuck

[@dwkvideos]

Austen Alexander when ever bro I live in San Diego, I’ll go grab some IV stuff today.

[@AustenAlexander]

Well hell I didn’t know you were in SD. Send me a DM on IG let’s chat @austen_alex

[@mcaselogic]

Great content Austen. Love what you’re putting out there with these interviews. I’m currently a nurse practitioner trying to get commissioned as a Navy officer. This might be a bit of a stretch but there are zero videos on nurse practitioners in the Navy. I’ve seen few RN info videos but nothing that goes into detail. Would you consider perhaps some day interviewing a nurse practitioner? Want to know how different it is from the civilian side. Excited to join! Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH. Keep up the amazing work!

[@AustenAlexander]

Thank you! I'm glad you asked this.. I don't know anything about Nursing or the Medical Field in the Military but I know who does! Send @lieutenanthall a DM on IG and tell her that Austen sent you. She's an Officer and a Nurse in the Navy!

[@CpnCornDog]

Hell yeah great video thank you!!!!

🙏🙏🙏

[@brandoncarson9743]

Hey man good video, I’m stoked to get to RDC then become a corpsman.

appreciate it!! I'm excited for you

If your ever in Norfolk I’ll sit down and get infront if the camera. We can talk Navy all day.

[@theblackknight9783]

I want to get stationed in Norfolk. My family is in MD and my wife's family is in NC. Both families are 3 and half hour away drive.

[@AustenAlexander]

deal!!

[@sailorcook5423]

I'm in college right now and I screwed up my first semester because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I'm deciding to join the Navy as corpseman (If I do well enough in the asvab) because it sounds thrilling. I just hope the first semester I screwed up won't affect me

[@tanicwhisper0647]

A V That’s a bummer bro. I had plans to join the military before I went back to school, but things changed once I got into the workforce while in High School. Now i’m in a whole new state away, with a more broad and better understanding of what it is I want in life without having to sacrifice 4 years for a degree and 2 years for the military. Plus I have my significant other with me and life hasn’t been any better. I’m really enjoying myself. You’ve created a mistake of jumping the gun before thinking about your future. No body knows you better than yourself.

[@micahboy5994]

I dropped out of high school and got a corpsman job you can do it

[@carlbismark2841]

Im thinking of doing the same! How'd it go for you??

[@eazypromo]

Appreciate this video because I'm planning to join the navy. I went to school for ultrasound tech. But I would like to learn more about the medical field.

[@bconfer274]

When I was in the Navy, HM and DT were different rates that was in the 1980's I was HM.

[@TheWhiteboystyle]

I would LOVE LOVE to see OS next pretty please lol

[@bakhitanzeribe9167]

I'm interested in knowing if you get to pick the specialty you want or they assign you to one? I was hoping this would be addressed in the video.

[@mmontero15]

Same!

[@LandscapeAhoy129]

Dental tech is usually something you enlist as. But as far as other specialites; they're called C - schools. Any time after you finish A school you can try to get into those courses by submitting packages, etc. So in a sense you can go for a specialty that you want, but keep in mind it's never guaranteed and at times it can be very competitive.

[@isaiahthaxton7177]

So my girlfriend is in basic right now and going to A-school so after that if she’s In the states will she be sea or shore

James E. Cornette Does this mean she’s Petty Officer 2nd class? Because that doesn’t make any sense. Unless she has a lot of college credits. Which is still iffy.

[@AustenAlexander]

yes she did

yes she is a PO2. She picked up rank pretty quickly

Yeah, been in for over a year and it still sucks

[@KeshHarp]

With your shitty attitude, hate to be anyone you treat!... by the way moron, you volunteered!!

[@theceska8345]

It sucked for me as well. Doing surgery and cutting off arms and legs at 20yrs of age has haunted me non stop. I'm 77 now and it still wakes me in the night. Don't put your hands on a bone saw is all I can say. Semper Fi.
