Chief Petty Officer Billini Benoit a reserve corpsman with 4th Medical Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Marine Forces Reserve, of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, has used his experience as a reserve, FMF-certified corpsman and a high school teacher to develop an educational program to prepare reserve corpsmen to pass the Enlisted Fleet Marine Force Warfare Specialist certification required for them to attach to Marine units.
