He was such a good looking and talented lad, so sad the way things turned out for him 🥺 R.I.P Bobby 💔 xxxx

[@harryrabbit2870]

Holy moly, I was like 4 or 5 when these aired and remembered the name but none of the episodes. And I was a Navy Corpsman so this was perfect. Thx!

My mentor J.A. Dennis was a National Guardsman who went to a revival meeting. And realized he couldn’t kill. When his unit got called up he explained his dilemma to his CO. His CO answered”We need men like you in the Army Medical Core. He served out WW1 as an ambulance driver.

I can’t forgive Disney for the way he treated Bobby. He was shown no mercy as a child growing up in that business. God rest his soul.

[@jeffking4176]

This is one I’ve never heard of. I thought I had a list of ALL Bobby Driscoll performances. I have 11 of his movies, and a couple of his TV appearances. An incredible actor ❗️ ([ and THE saddest story of all Hollywood❗️]) This is cool ❗️ 📻🙂

[@ericseabury3968]

They most definitely don’t make television shows like this anymore.

[@timothyfoleyjr2796]

I watched these stories when I was seven years old, but I had extraordinary eye sight, 20/15 in my right eye, 20/20 in my left. My right is what I aimed with. Got the exact question from my DI: “Who taught you to shoot” fired 96/100 on ‘record fire’. I imagine I would have scored higher if it weren’t a quirk in the way an M-16 is sighted: The bullet as it comes out of the barrel is ‘rising’ into the ‘target picture’ so at 25 yards the projectile is low. If I were firing at at an enemy combatant, that was that close, I had to remind myself to shoot for his forehead. Like David did for Goliath. I got in the habit of saying the “23erd psalm”. I was an excellent “ Door Gunner”

[@randywiggins1248]

Great. Another series I had never heard of before. Thanks for uploading.

[@fromthesidelines]

It was on for three seasons: CBS (1955-'56), and ABC (1956-'58). 104 episodes were produced.

[@stephenmitchell3569]

A man find his heart and stands by it! Excellent a season for all things good....

[@jeffking4176]

There’s a new Documentary on KZbin about Bobby Driscoll: “ LOST BOY - The Bobby Driscoll Story” It’s extremely well done ‼️

[@billhuber2964]

A marine best friend isn't his rifle, it's a navy corpsman. A marine gunnery sargent told me that one.

[@avariveraproductions1216]

Bobby Driscoll is, without shame pfft, the cutest man on the planet!!!! UGH I hate Disney for doing what they diddd....

[@johnslaughter5475]

The Navy Hymn was played in church in honor of Veteran's Day. I choked up trying to sing it. The medics of all the services are among the bravest I couldn't find a Silver Star citation for a William Sayres. 😒

[@brianpederson2709]

Radiomen and corpsmen were both issued 45's. I also carried an M-16 to defend my patients in Vietnam.

[@nhoj4539]

you carry a m-16, because if you carried the 45, someone would have thought that you might be an officer and shoot at you

[@stylinstylist2005]

My dad was a Dust off medic and carried an M1 carbine...I have it now...

[@user-xj4ic5bl4y]

Don't remember seeing this TV show in the 70s even in reruns.

[@josephgrillo9717]

Robert William "Dabbs" Greer

[@teddyduncan1046]

Dad's the minister from Little House on the Prairie.

[@chrisduke3251]

Gonna go out and get a deer with a .22 HAHAHAHAHA! It's a squirrel gun BOY!

[@stephenmitchell3569]

More deer are killed one shot to the head than any other caliber. You must be a city boy. But this kind of Hunter get close and that's harder than a 300 yd shot. Of course there is the spot light shine from a truck and that's like shooting fish in a bucket! I don't care for those kind of people unless their family hungry.

[@daviddominguez5312]

Rip bobby

[@brianbayer9926]

The boy that played Bill, also played a young Audy Murphy in To Hell and Back.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

With uncorrected 20/200 corrected to 20/40 with contacts, I was qualified for everything except flying occupations. Qualified Expert Pistol (M9) and Marksman (M16 pos from Vietnam - I ran the serials)

[@Aegirak]

My reasons were not to be a fighting man, but my heroes in the military were always the US Marines. I wanted to take care of the Marines so they can continue to do those heroic things.

[@camarocarl7130]

Fleet Marine Force Hospital Corpsman. Best rate in the Navy.

[@billhuber2964]

A deer w/a .22 ? Hollywood!!!

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on November 29, 1955.

[@Droodog127]

the Garand is gas operated semi automatic not a bolt action style like Bobby was doing

[@the_weeaboot8042]

The Staff Sergeant called him "Spec" not "Doc."

[@MichaelJones-uw8gi]

Think he was talking about the glasses. As a former FMF Navy corpsman, we EARNED the title "Doc".

[@kingalexander2704]

I make it a practice to never shoot at any living thing that can't shoot back.

[@charlesgoodspeed3474]

I was US Coast Guard!

[@ericseabury3968]

They definitely don’t make shows like this anymore.

[@raurkegoose5233]

Isn't that the kid that played the young Audie Murphy?

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

I think so

[@suzannemckenzie2873]

Could have done a little more research on the Navy. Chiefs are not called 'sir' by enlisted, but are called 'Chief'. Corpsmen are called 'doc' by Marines, or 'corpsman'. Retired Navy nurse.

[@dinklehimerschlitz9111]

unless he is a basic training CC.

[@PeteMcCorvey]

@@dinklehimerschlitz9111 nope they dont call them sir then either.
