New US Navy Hospital Corpsman Caduceus Shirt Released!

SAN ANTONIO - April 10, 2016 - PRLog -- Today, NavyCrow.com The Premier Navy Pride apparel and memorabilia company announced that they have completed their latest t-shirt designed to recognize the contributions of the US Navy Hosptial Corpsmen throughout the chronicles of Naval History.


The rating badge of the Hospital Corpsman has remained the same since the last major revision the of the medical department following WW II.  Effective 2 April 1948 the Navy changed the names and insignia of the Hospital Corps. The new titles were Hospital Recruit, Hospital Apprentice, Hospitalman, Hospital Corpsmen Third, Second, and First class, and Chief Hospital Corpsman. The red Geneva cross, which had marked Corpsmen for 50 years, was replaced in the rating badge with the original mark of the winged caduceus. Since that time all Navy Corpsmen have worn the symbol of the medical department on their uniform both in the hospitals and on the battlefields where they earned the title of "Doc".


The design encompaes the traditonal caduces in an entire new manner encompassing the tools of the Corpsman trade: the wings are made of surgical instruments used to heal the wounds of war. The Marine Corps emblem the EGA is features to recognize the feats of the Navy Corpsmen embed with the Fleet Marine Force on the fields of battle. The army Combat Medic Badge is reminiscent of the Navy Corpsmen who have helped to augment shortages within the army and served in battle with the "Joes". The body of the design is made from the Vietnam War era First Aid Kit, and pistol holster. We find the emblem of the Purple Heart medal featuring George Washington's likeness in remembrance of all the blood shed and the disproportionate amount of wound received in battle by Corpsmen tending to their patients. The stethoscope tells every Sailor and Marine that no matter what Doc is always there to listen to your problems. The syringe and needle represent the garrison task of maintaining medical readiness by conducting immunizations to keep the warfighting force health and prepared.
