Doc!: The Adventures of a Hospital Corpsman

Trained as a hospital corpsman, Hugh-or "Doc" as Navy corpsmen are often called-served two tours in Vietnam in 1965 and again in 1966. Afterwards, he made a career out of the Navy eventually retiring after thirty-nine years active duty with the rank of captain and an impressive collection of medals and awards. What happened in between enlistment and retirement-including his time served during Operation Desert Storm in the 1990s-is a story of perseverance and determination, and a lesson in how to succeed in the military despite the politics and egos one encounters on the way up through the ranks.
