新南威尔士州 HM 被选为 2023 财年 IDCOY 奖获得者

Three Hospital Corpsmen (HM) within the Naval Special Warfare community earned Independent Duty Corpsman of the Year (IDCOY) honors in their respective categories for fiscal year 2023. An IDCOY award selection board comprised of 32 senior enlisted HM panel members scored and ranked 72 individual nomination packages to consider which IDCs demonstrate the best technical competence, leadership, and overall contribution to the Navy’s mission.从收据到最终结果，IDCOY判断过程大约需要两个月才能完成。当CNO在过去的5月宣布IDCOY获奖者时，从八个IDC平台中选出了10位获奖者。 Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Joseph M.
