              What do you call a group of highly motivated professionals who
            can drive Marine Corps tactical vehicles, build a bunker, stand a
            perimeter watch, monitor patients on a ward, set up a field
            hospital, operate a central sterilization room, counsel in a
            combat stress center, perform medical regulating and operating
            room functions, serve food in a chow line, incinerate human waste,
            drive and provide basic life support on a casualty evacuation bus,
            and operate decontamination stations in addition to their normal
            in-rate duties?

                They're Dental Technicians NEC 87e7.

            ideas, and experiences and assimilate them into one unit. Add the

            must be addressed. Then establish eleven dental treatment
            facilities to provide patient care and provide dental treatment
            and perform medical roles and other duties associated with a
    combat environment in four surgical support units and six
            Collecting and Clearing Companies. Suddenly, we have personnel in
            twenty-one locational Do all of this in an arena of operation
            which has units dug in on the Northern Saudi Arabia border and
            stretches South across the Saudi Arabian desert to Bahrain and you
            have the mission of Dental Technicians assigned to Operation
            Desert Shield/ Storm. One might ask "how do they do it allm?
            The obvious answer is EXTREMELY WELL. For once again, as in many
            times in the past, Dental Techni-clans are showing their
            versatility and metal. Consistently upholding the traditions of
            their predecessors, these guardians of the rating, The Backbone of
            the Navy Dental Corps, willingly do whatever is needed while
            providing the leadership that "Gets the Job Done*.
