editThis needs major work. The original article was copied word-for-word from http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/youthviolence/moritsugu.htm
and that could be a good resource but we can't steal.
- Being a governmental publication, it's PD, so we're at least clear from copyright problems, but I agree that blatant copying is extremely lame, so I'm going to remove most of it and just leave the link... 68.39.174.238 01:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Members of the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service are not members of the US Navy although they wear a uniform similar to the navy uniform. They are one of seven uniformed services, namely, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard, Commissioned Corps of NOAA, and the Commissioned Corps of the USPHS. The wearing of the Navy style uniform dates back to the PHS founding in 1798 where it main mission was the health of American Seaman and ultimately the healthcare of the United States. The Corps is made up of only Officers who are commissioned by virture of having a health care degree, i.e., Medicine, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Health Care Administration, Sanitary Engineering, etc.
The Surgeon General has a rank equivalent to that of a Vice Admiral in the Navy, but is not an Admiral. Neovu79 07:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
