(NNS) &#8212; Tears, prayers, well-wishes, hugs and kisses sent 24 Naval Hospital Jacksonville and Branch Medical Clinic personnel on their way as they boarded a bus in the early morning of Feb. 8, bound for deployment to the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">Capt. John Sentell, commanding officer, reminded the deploying personnel that Naval Medicine has made tremendous strides in battlefield medicine in recent years, and that these advances have paid off in Iraq.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">&#8220;In past wars, those who died of wounds after reaching medical care were around 10 to 15 percent. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, that was cut to 3 percent,&#8221; noted Sentell. &#8220;The 2nd FSSG [Force Service Support Group] didn&rsquo;t lose any wounded who made it to their care. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, if a wounded Soldier or Marine made it to our medical units, they all survived. That&rsquo;s a tremendous accomplishment.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">I was wondering where the term &#8220;Devil Doc&#8221; came from and found the explanation for it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gruntdoc.com\/archives\/000178.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.gruntdoc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">In WW I, at the battle of Belleau Wood, not only did the USMC distinguish itself in combat, but they won the grudging admiration of their German enemy, who reportedly stated they fought like &#8216;Teufelhunden&#8217;, or Devil Dogs. The Marines liked the sobriquet and adopted it as a nickname, often greeting each other as such. The Devil Docs is a natural extension, applied to the US Navy medical personnel who proudly serve in the Green Machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
