Change 'medic' to 'corpsman'

Post by Outboarduniform » 27 Jun 2016, 22:15

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Basically , change the name 'squad medic' to 'squad corpsman' in the marine corps , there are no medics , its Corpsman which are supplied by the Navy , and i believe the same should apply on the Sulaco.
In the U.S. Navy, enlisted medical personnel are known as Corpsman, not medics.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole)
More realism relating to the marine corps
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
change the job name. mcchucklefuckmcmgee won't think that medics are in the Marine Corps like a lot of people do
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
literally change the job name

We are not the marines, we are the spess colonial marines.

Maybe in the future we change how we call medics, who knows...

Besides, "medic" is more intuitive then "corpsman".

But I would be OK with a rename.

+1/+0 its a small change, and being a little more authentic never hurt anybody if its a small detail.
Gaze upon me,

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!

Apop is pretty adamant about the various role names. These will probably change only he wants them to change, so denied for now.
