Corpsman and Medic overlapping comparisons and differences

There’s 58 names affixed on Naval Hospital Bremerton’s Heroes Wall of Honor. Everyone is a Navy hospital corpsman who lost their life after 9/11. There are no medics listed, which is not in any way to disparage or lessen the tremendous care, compassion and courage of any U.S. Army combat medic or U.S. Air Force aerospace medical service technician. Especially those who gave their all for another. It’s because there are no medics in the U.S. Navy.

An unexpected surprise…Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Danny Varath, Naval Hospital/Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton’s Radiology Department leading petty officer is informed of his selection as the command Senior Sailor of the Quarter by Command Master Chief James B May (Left) and Capt. Patrick Fitzpatrick, NHB director and NMRTC Bremerton commanding officer. “I was very surprised. I didn`t think I had what it take to be SSOQ,” shared Varath. “The competition was tough and it has always been that way. Being selected mean that I represent my department, my chain of command, all the staff and junior sailors` accomplishment well. No one can make it on their own in the Navy. I learned that early on.” Varath’s nomination as Senior Sailor of the Quarter correlates with the annual Department of Defense observation of May as Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This year’s theme, “Advancing Leaders through Collaboration” recognizes the collective benefits resulting from a spirit of community, cooperation and cultural engagement and thoroughly resonates with Varath. “Diversity and inclusion are the main reason I stay in the Navy. From my experience in the civilian work force the Navy is very fair for promotion and pay opportunities. If you put forth your best effort and work hard every day, someone will notice it. You will get recognized.” Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer)
