Lt. Cmdr. James Gorman, left, an obstetrician assigned to Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton in north San Diego County, Calif., cuts the ceremonial birthday cake honoring the 250th birthday of the U.S. Navy aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton on the morning of Oct. 9, 2025. Although it was Gorman’s first Navy Birthday ceremony, he participated as the oldest Sailor present having joined the Navy in his 60s following 33 years of private practice. He is joined at the cake by Seaman Apprentice Emma Phillips, a Navy Corpsman assigned to NHCP, and Capt. Virginia Damin, commander of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Camp Pendleton. For 250 years, Navy Medicine – represented by more than 44,000 highly-trained military and civilian healthcare professionals – has delivered quality healthcare and enduring expeditionary medical support to the warfighter on, below, and above the sea, and ashore.
