All his life, Greg McPartlin wanted to be a Marine corpsman, a medic skilled at saving lives. Three months of bagging-and-tagging bodies during Vietnam's Tet Offensive took the luster off of being a Marine - but not off McPartlin's desire to serve his country.
After assisting in the sea recovery of Apollo 11 - the first ship to bring men to the moon - the twenty-year-old McPartlin was redeployed to Vietnam as an elite Navy SEAL. Barred as a medic by the Geneva Convention from the make-or-break training considered vital to service as a Navy SEAL, McPartlin had to show he had what it took.
But McPartlin had been in country before. In a war where you partied with your buddies in Saigon one day and crawled through an enemy-infested jungle hell the next, he proved that he was not only an outstanding medic but a real Navy SEAL - the toughest of the tough.
Combat Corpsman is McPartlin's account of his year in what had been a Viet Cong stronghold until the SEALs took control - and Charlie placed bounties on the "men with green faces." It's the first inside story of a Navy SEAL medic, a man who wanted to heal - not to kill - but did both to save lives.
