Doc MacNab received the nickname, "Doc" while serving the nation as a medic in the Army. MacNab spent a total of 9 years, under 4 US presidents, earning many awards and respect for his actions and knowledge. Beginning his career, Doc was one of the first paratroopers to jump with the 37th Airborne Engineers. As part of his airborne duty, Doc worked with the JFK Special Warfare School in the SERE division and deployed to hot spots in the Western Hemisphere during the Cold War with special forces, the engineers, artillery and infantry. MacNab was the 2nd Infantry Division commander's personal medic at Camp Red Cloud, Korea and even rejoined the Army in 2004 after being out over 10 years. Doc never was in the Army band, but he performed in Korea with Broken Wings, a DoD MWR-sponsored band who played festivals all over the Southeast Asian theater. To the troops, though, MacNab was always "Doc": quick with a joke, precise with needles and always there to lend comfort and preserve the fighting strength. Doc lives the Special Forces medic's creed to this day: "First I will do no harm."
