=========================================
After completion of A school, corpsmen may go directly to Fleet, or to medical treatment facilities (hospitals or clinics), or to Field Medical Training Battalion for eight weeks of additional training with Marines; or to C School.
Within the HM rating there are 38 occupational specialties which require further technical training via C-schools. Most specialty training is long and intense; many are at least one year in length. Some of the most demanding specialties, such as independent duty corpsmen, go through a series of schools as their career progresses. One of the specialties - Mortician - requires civilian licensing prior to entry into the Navy.
The diversity of the HM rating is evident with these Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs).
Click the blue-highlighted links for additional information about that NEC.

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Randall! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found, was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are so proud of our son and his service to our country, as you will also burst with pride of your child! This is the place to brag!
