Medical Corps
Can you be a medical corps as an E-1 just entering the navy?
I recently spoke with a recruiter and i am really interested in enrolling in the navy. I graduate in may. However im just trying to find a career path in the navy that really evolves around something i want to do when i retire from the navy. I am really interested in the medical field and the legal field. Im just wondering as an E-1 just entering the navy would i be able to be a part of the medical corps?
As an enlisted member of the Navy you cannot be a member of the Medical Corps.
In the military in the US the Medical Corps is for physicians only. The Navy Medical Department is made up of many Corps including the Dental Corps, the Medical Corps the Nurse Corps. You are probably looking at being a Hospital Corpsman or Dental Technician. There are several subspecialties which fall under the Hospital Corps. Se your recruiter for more information.
