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. The program has been widely successful in its short existence with a 100 percent passage rate that has already tripled the number of corpsmen from his unit that receive the certification annually.
