hn, i hear ya. my friend was one of the good 'uns. she recognized all the corpsmen did and was quick to back them up and acknowledge that. she's always been a very gung-ho and hands-on type (wanted to be a flight nurse), and i think partly she envied the corpsmen getting to "get their hands dirty" while she did more administrative stuff (she hated that). heh.
she's a hottie, too, so i think that helped the hours pass a little easier. ;)
