Philippine Marine Staff Sgt. Geraldine Corbita, surrounded by her classmates, listens to a guest speaker discuss the responsibilities of an Independent Duty Corpsman during their graduation ceremony at the Surface Warfare Medical Institute (SWMI) in San Diego on July 11, 2025. Corbita, a Zamboanga, Philippines native, is the first Philippine Navy Marine corpsman to graduate from the U.S. Navy IDC School, a milestone signaling a strengthened alliance between the U.S. and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
