    Don't expand this bloated, do nothing service. Abolish it.

    The Commissioned Corps consists of 'Officers' only. They have NO field training, Field hospitals, or Field gear.
    They have NO Officer Basic Training (I mean an actual course, where they have to actually DO something), they have NO PT test.

    If the US needs Medical Personal in Uniforms to respond to a disaster, a Military Unit, with a mix of levels of personnel, and skills  that have been practiced and trained on should be TDYed, to respond.
    We have quite a number of these, in all Branches of the Military, their Reserve Units, and the National Guard.

    The USPHS Commissioned Corps is a drain on Americas budget. They are experts at using ANY up, or down, turn in the National Fortunes, to feather their own nests.

    For goodness sake, would somebody please come to their senses and wake up to the the game this organization is running.
