190115-N-IY469-020 – CMDCM Beth Nilson, command master chief, expresses her appreciation for the RP rating and the role they play alongside corpsmen. “The RPs are always primarily battle buddies with the corpsmen, right?" Nilson asked. "Especially when you're with the Marines, you don't really ever see the corpsmen without the RPs, and unfortunately for the RPs they are using getting called 'doc'. I think that you can't underestimate the amount of comfort that these young men and women have delivered during those times of combat when they have been needed, whether on the field of combat or often times later on in the hospital at the bedside of the wounded. We sometimes underestimate the comfort that they gave in that capacity that the chaplains give and maybe even the doctors, nurses and corpsmen give, that often times you in your capacity also give that is very vital to the recovery aspect too. Thank you. That's part of your history that we are celebrating here today so thank you for that.”
