Lieutenant Iris Manso served nine years as an enlisted Corpsman before commissioning as a medical officer in 2013. She currently serves as the health service support officer for 2d MEB, and now provides mentorship and guidance for medical professionals at all levels.
“As a Navy Officer I use my prior enlisted experience by providing perspective to other medical officers and Chief Hospital Corpsmen. I had the opportunity to work as staff at the Field Medical Training Battalion-East, where we train Corpsmen to serve with the FMF,” she said.
“As a Corpsman, I would try to put everything I had toward my patients. Being a Corpsman you think about the patient first – have empathy. Beyond how you personally feel, you have to care for people who are in vulnerable states – injured, sick, and scared and you have to do the best for them.”
